Bitlayer has launched the programmable asset YBTC, supporting multi-chain deployment and offering native or integrated yield products for holders. The network has achieved over $36 million in total locked value (TVL) for YBTC, over $30 million in BTC deposits, more than 30,000 users, and an average daily trading volume of $360 million. The platform combines BitVM-style smart contracts with zero-knowledge proofs to achieve finality on Bitcoin, while utilizing the RtEVM (Real-time EVM) engine to provide near real-time EVM performance, supporting multi-threaded parallel transaction execution and infinitely scalable state storage.
