Technical Introduction
Basic Concepts
For users and developers alike, the fundamental concept of Bitlayer is outlined below:
Bitlayer acts as a Layer 2 solution for Bitcoin, boasting 100% EVM and Ethereum toolchain compatibility, with BTC as native token(gas token).
Users can engage with it using wallets such as Metamask, imToken, or other Ethereum-compatible wallets.
Developers are afforded the ease of migrating smart contracts written in Solidity, Vyper, or any other language that compiles to EVM bytecode directly to Bitlayer, using the toolchain you are familiar with: Ethereum JSON-RPC, Hardhat, etc.
Architecture
Bitlayer subscribes to the typical model of an Optimistic Rollup equivalent.
Benefits
Bridges
Bitlayer will be connected by numerous bridges.
Bitlayer <--> Blockchains
If the source chain is Bitcoin, it is recommended to use UniSats, Xverse, or another Bitcoin wallet as the source wallet.
Bitlayer <--> CEXs(centralized exchanges)
You can withdraw from CEXs to the bitlayer's ETH-Compatible wallet address.
