What is Bitlayer?
Bitlayer is a new technology built to make Bitcoin more powerful. It is called a Bitcoin Layer-2 platform, which means it works on top of the main Bitcoin network. Bitlayer uses BitVM, a special tool that helps Bitcoin do more things like smart contracts.
The Bitlayer token (BTR) is now listed and live on the OrangeX Exchange. With Bitlayer, developers can build apps like DeFi tools, games, and NFT Collection on Bitcoin. It is fast, cheap, and secure, keeping Bitcoin’s trusted safety while adding more features.
How Bitlayer Will Benefit the Crypto Space
Bitlayer makes Bitcoin more useful. Before, Bitcoin was mostly for sending and saving money. Now, with Bitlayer, people can create smart contracts to build apps like DeFi platforms, NFT markets, and games.
It is also fast—transactions confirm in about 3 seconds.
It is cheap—fees are very low (about $0.10).
By keeping Bitcoin’s strong security and adding new features, Bitlayer can help the whole crypto market grow with Bitcoin as the base.
Bitlayer Features
Bitcoin-level security – It keeps the same strong safety as Bitcoin.
EVM compatibility – Developers can use Ethereum tools and smart contract code.
BitVM Bridge – Moves BTC into Bitlayer without needing a middleman.
Fast & low-cost – Transactions are quick (about 3 seconds) and cheap (~$0.10).
Scalable roadmap – Plans to grow from Proof of Stake (PoS) now to faster versions in the future with up to 20,000 transactions per second (TPS).
Bitlayer Roadmap
Bitlayer has a clear three-stage plan:
V1 – PoS-based Mainnet (2024): Live now. Supports Ethereum Blockchain smart contracts.
V2 – BitVM Rollup (Q1–Q2 2025): Adds trust-minimized Bitcoin security and bridge.
V3 – Supercharged (Q4 2025): Big upgrade to reach 20,000 TPS and 3-second confirmations.
