Bitlayer is the first Bitcoin Layer 2 network security equivalent project based on the BitVM solution, aimed at providing security equivalent to Bitcoin and supporting Turing Complete, meaning it can execute any possible computation or program.


The core goal of Bitlayer is to address the trade-off between the security and Turing Completeness of Bitcoin's Layer 2 technology. Its design is inspired by BitVM, DLC/LN (Discrete Log Contracts / Lightning Network) technology protocols, and multiple VMs (including EVM, Ethereum Virtual Machine).
The technical team of the project has abstracted three key tasks from these inspirations:
Trustless entry and exit of first layer assets
Use the Turing Complete Layer 2 virtual machine for state transitions.
The first layer verifies the validity of the state transitions of the second layer.
Its core functions and operational principles are built around several key technical components to support more complex application scenarios, such as smart contract execution, high throughput transaction processing, and cross-chain asset transfers.
