Bitlayer Unlocks Bitcoin's $1.9T Liquidity with BitVM Bridges
Bitlayer, a pioneering blockchain company, has made significant strides in advancing the first implementation of BitVM (Bitcoin Virtual Machine) through strategic partnerships with leading blockchain networks. This move aims to enhance Bitcoin's liquidity and unlock new opportunities for users to earn rewards on their Bitcoin holdings.
Bitlayer has formed strategic alliances with five prominent blockchain platforms: Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, sonic, and Plume Network. These partnerships will enable Bitcoin to be seamlessly integrated into these thriving ecosystems, supercharging its liquidity and opening doors to decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities.
Base – The Bitlayer BitVM Bridge now connects Bitcoin and Base, allowing Bitcoin holders to use their BTC across EVM-compatible blockchain ecosystems like the Base blockchain. This integration bridges the gap between Bitcoin and decentralized finance, enabling users to leverage their BTC in new and innovative ways.
Arbitrum – With the Bitlayer BitVM Bridge, Arbitrum users will be able to bridge assets to and from Bitcoin under a trust-minimized framework. This integration will pioneer a robust and highly liquid DeFi ecosystem, bringing genuine DeFi to the Bitcoin space.
Starknet – The Bitlayer BitVM Bridge will integrate with Starknet, bringing Bitcoiners instant transactions and sub-cent fees in a trust-minimized environment secured by STARK proofs. This integration will create a Bitcoin DeFi hub where users can unleash the full potential of their Bitcoin.
Plume Network – Through the BitVM Bridge, Plume Network, the first full-stack Layer 1 Real World Asset (RWA) Chain and ecosystem purpose-built for RWAFi, will achieve optimal liquidity for diverse use cases from the Bitcoin ecosystem. Together, Bitlayer and Plume are advancing RWAs as a cornerstone for bringing institutional-grade products.
Sonic – The integration between Bitlayer BitVM Bridge and Sonic, the first SVM to launch on Solana for games and applications, will power Web3 TikTok App Layer – onboarding the next billion users.
Bitlayer's BitVM Bridge stands as a transformative innovation in Bitcoin bridging technology, meticulously developed by Bitlayer and underpinned by the advanced BitVM paradigm. This integration will help unlock Bitcoin's $1.9 trillion USD worth of liquidity on multichain ecosystems, allowing users on Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, Sonic, and Plume Network to gain
