Bitlayer, a Bitcoin Layer 2 built on the Bitvm paradigm, has teamed up with three of the biggest bitcoins in the world
Mining Pools – Antpool, F2Pool and Spiderpool – in a very first collaboration to accelerate the adoption of the real world of Bitvm, a revolutionary technology focused on the Native Bitcoin challenge.
The Bitcoin ecosystem is lagging behind other layers 1 like Ethereum for years due to technical limitations – in particular its lack of support for intelligent Turing -Complete contracts. Bitlayer’s Bitvm paradigm addresses this by offering equivalent security to Bitcoin and a Turing completeness without modifying the Bitcoin basic protocol or compromising its fundamental design.
But transforming this vision into reality requires the cooperation of minors – entities that create new blocks and validate transactions in exchange for BTC. This is precisely what this new partnership ensures.
The three mining pools, representing more than 36% of the total computing power of Bitcoin (Hashrate), agreed to support non -standard transactions (NSTS) – a critical element of the BITVM’s challenge -resonational response mechanism, companies said. Their support deletes a key bottleneck from BitvM deployment and brings the greater use system closer.
NSTs are valid transactions within the framework of Bitcoin consensus rules but which are not relayed by the Bitcoin Core software by default, which makes them difficult to confirm in chain without cooperation of minors.
As part of this partnership, Antpool, F2Pool and Spiderpool will serve as a goalkeeper of the BitVM bridge, ensuring that the NSTs are reliably included in the blocks and are part of the large unchanging book of Bitcoin.
The BITVM bridge is a special tool that facilitates the secure and reliable movement of the BTC in other blockchain ecosystems – such as rollers, transversal protocols and intelligent contracts – not to mention centralized intermediaries. It opens the door to larger bitcoin applications while preserving the robust network security guarantees.
“BITVM represents the most credible path to provide validation at the head of Bitcoin while retaining its main security. This partnership resolves the critical challenge of the last Mile to obtain non-standard transactions included on the channel,” said Kevin He, co-founder of Bitlayer, in a press release shared with Coindesk.
A victory for minors
This is not only an important step for Bitlayer – it is also a strategic victory for minors, especially when they are faced with declining income due to BTC awards by blocks in two every four years.
Andy, CEO of Antpool, noted that Bitvm from Bitlayer can help stimulate new economic activity and income based on minors.
“Built on BITVM, Bitlayer allows BTC to circulate in the ECOSYTEMS DEFI and CLAIR 2. This means more use, more costs and long -term sustainability for minors,” said Andy in the press release.
Leon Liang, Director of F2Pool’s strategy, stressed the importance of innovation, saying: “We want to support high quality projects like Bitlayer which extends what Bitcoin can do.”
The CTO Spiderpool Kenway spoke to the wider Bitcoin potential as a financial service platform, declaring: “This partnership allows us to unlock new possibilities for Bitcoin Defi. It improves the usefulness of Bitcoin while strengthening the central role of minors in the ecosystem.”
Bitcoin Defi’s demand increases quickly
The collaboration of Bitlayer with the mining giants follows recent integrations with adult layer 1 layers like Su, Base, Arbitrum and Starknet. Together, these partnerships reflect a growing demand for secure and native Bitcoin challenges that evolves.
Bitlayer is actively to integrate more validators and early adopters to help secure and extend the BITVM bridge – and to build what could become the cornerstone of the next Bitcoin evolution.
