Bitlayer Achieves Major Milestones with Successful Bitcoin Mainnet Bridge and Community Engagement

Over the past week, significant progress has been made in both technological developments and community influence by Bitlayer. The first milestone is the successful execution of the BitVM bridge on the Bitcoin mainnet, demonstrating the full capabilities and robust security of the bridge while also validating the strategic partnership with mining pools in managing non-standard transactions. Additionally, SafePal has integrated Bitlayer, allowing on-chain asset management and direct access to Bitlayer's BTCFi ecosystem through the SafePal interface. Bitlayer has also become a partner in Sui's BTCFi Hub, expanding Bitcoin's possibilities collaboratively. Community events included the Super Vietnam 2025 event where Kevin He showcased breakthroughs in BitVM technology and participated in a discussion on Bitcoin’s evolving role in traditional finance. Charlie Hu attended the Builder Gathering in Vietnam, engaging deeply with key Web3 figures in the Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore, Bitlayer participated in the Solana Asia-Pacific side event "Journey to the West," which gathered top Solana builders, traders, and on-chain participants. Media coverage and expert opinions highlighted the transformative potential of Bitlayer’s trust-minimized smart contracts to expand Bitcoin DeFi. Charlie Hu emphasized that BitVM could facilitate cross-chain DeFi without sacrificing custody or altering Bitcoin’s core protocol. Kevin He detailed efforts to develop a DeFi ecosystem on Bitcoin, aiming to extend its utility beyond mere store of value. Additionally, Kevin He discussed partnerships with three Bitcoin mining pools critical to advancing BitVM's deployment, underscoring ongoing efforts to integrate DeFi into Bitcoin’s ecosystem.
