## Bitlayer’s Exciting New Partnerships with Five Leading Blockchains to Launch BitVM
Bitlayer is thrilled to share its strategic collaborations with five prominent blockchains to propel the integration of the groundbreaking BitVM. The company has teamed up with Base, Starlet, Plume Network, Arbitrum, and Sonic ecosystems to enhance its innovative BitVM initiative. The Bitlayer team believes these partnerships will open up fresh opportunities for users and unlock additional rewards for their Bitcoin holdings. Notably, Bitlayer is set to make history as the first team to implement BitVM, paving the way for native programming and scalability for users.
Through this collaboration, Bitlayer will leverage its BitVM Bridge to connect Bitcoin with Base, enhancing Bitcoin liquidity on the network. It’s worth mentioning that Base already features cnBTC, which enables Bitcoin holders to utilize their BTC across EVM-compatible blockchain ecosystems, effectively bridging the gap between Bitcoin and decentralized finance.
The partnership with Starknet will facilitate the integration of the Bitlayer BitVM Bridge with Starknet, allowing for instant transactions for Bitcoin users. This integration is also vital for providing users with subcent fees on all transactions, all within a trust-minimized environment secured by STARK proofs. This combination, along with a Web2-like user experience enabled by abstraction, will create a Bitcoin DeFi hub, offering the ideal setting for users to fully harness the potential of their Bitcoin.
On another front, integrating the BitVM Bridge with Arbitrum will empower users to seamlessly bridge to and from Bitcoin. As a robust and highly liquid DeFi ecosystem, Arbitrum is poised to leverage this partnership to become a pioneer in bringing authentic DeFi to the Bitcoin landscape. Through the BitVM Bridge, Plume Network is set to achieve optimal liquidity for a variety of use cases within the Bitcoin ecosystem. The Plume Network stands out as the first full-stack L1 Real World Asset (RWA) Chain, designed specifically for RWAFi. This partnership will advance RWAs as a crucial component in delivering institutional-grade products.
Moreover, integrating Bitlayer’s BitVM Bridge with Sonic will transform how users engage with games and applications. As the first SVM to launch on Solana, Sonic is strategically positioned to drive significant adoption and change. The BitVM Bridge is expected to unlock Bitcoin’s $1.9 trillion liquidity within the multi-chain ecosystem, enabling users to explore a range of DeFi opportunities while enjoying the highest level of security associated with Bitcoin. Key use cases of this integration include access to yield farming, liquidity pools, staking, lending, and borrowing.
In the near future, Bitlayer plans to establish even more strategic partnerships, ultimately creating a unified ecosystem driven by Bitcoin.
