Bitlayer: Turn Bitcoin into Profitable Assets, Trade and Pay Today

For many years, Bitcoin has always been regarded as a scarce and safe store of value asset. Investors mainly benefit from the price increase, but a large portion of BTC remains "inactive" and has not been utilized in financial activities. Bitlayer was created to change that. With a high-speed infrastructure layer and a trust-minimized (trust-minimized) built directly on Bitcoin, BTC can participate in lending, trading, payments, and DeFi applications. The important thing is: the core security of Bitcoin remains intact, but at the same time BTC can become profitable and useful starting today. The core infrastructure has been operational. Bitlayer has now launched three main components: BitVM Bridge: A bridge that converts BTC into YBTC on rollup, fully controlled by users and independent of third parties. BTC can be converted back at any time. High-Throughput Rollup: A high-speed rollup that allows for quick processing of transactions and smart contracts, while the results are still validated on Bitcoin, ensuring transparency and safety. Yield-Bearing YBTC: BTC converted into YBTC can immediately participate in staking, lending, or providing liquidity to generate profits, while still being able to convert back to the original BTC. Thanks to this, BTC holders not only preserve their safety but also turn capital into profitable assets. The application is running. The Bitlayer ecosystem has practical applications, including: Lending platform: YBTC depositors earn real-time interest, while borrowers access instant liquidity without having to sell BTC. Decentralized exchange (DEX): Quick and secure swaps between YBTC, stablecoins, and other tokens. Cross-border payments: Freelancers, businesses, or merchants can receive BTC globally, then instantly convert to stablecoins for immediate use, reducing fees and wait times. Liquidity & Yield Farming: YBTC holders can stake to earn transaction fees and rewards from protocols. Practical example A freelancer in Latin America receives BTC from international clients. If done through traditional banking, the transaction can take several days with high fees. But with Bitlayer: BTC is brought into the BitVM bridge, converted into YBTC. YBTC swaps immediately to stablecoin. Funds arrive in the wallet within minutes, ready to use. => Faster, cheaper, more efficient. Development ecosystem for developers Bitlayer supports EVM-compatible smart contracts, enabling developers to easily deploy Ethereum-style applications right on Bitcoin: BTC-backed stablecoin for instant transactions. Automated trading and arbitrage platform operating in real-time. Lending/borrowing protocol optimizing BTC liquidity. Payment solution connecting BTC with stablecoin and fiat. Projects are being built and deployed, driving liquidity, innovation, and network effects today. Security and trust Bitlayer upholds core security principles: Fraud Proofs: Any disputes are handled directly on the Bitcoin chain. YBTC can always be redeemed. There is no centralized custody organization, minimizing systemic risk. On-chain operations are transparent and can be audited at any time. This helps BTC participate in the new financial economy without losing its inherent decentralization and security. Current impact Thanks to Bitlayer, Bitcoin is no longer a "dormant" asset. BTC can now be lent, staked, traded, and paid instantly, creating measurable economic value in real time. Each loan, each transaction, each liquidity pool demonstrates that BTC is a type of capital that can generate profits today. Conclusion Bitlayer transforms Bitcoin from a "passive store of value" into a dynamic and useful financial asset. With YBTC, BitVM Bridge, and high-speed rollups, BTC can participate in lending, trading, payments, and DeFi while still being tightly connected to the characteristic security of the Bitcoin network. 👉 Bitcoin is truly vibrant, productive, and creating value for the current economy – thanks to Bitlayer. ♡𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞💬 ➤ @BitlayerLabs #Bitlayer
