BEVM is the first BTC layer2 that supports BTC interaction with the EVM network, a decentralized BTC cross-chain enabled by Bitcoin light nodes and taproots. Support EVM environment and direct use as native gas fee, support to manage BTC balance in metamask wallet.
Build BTC Layer 2: BEVM solves Bitcoin's layer 1 settlement limitations by shifting functionality to layer 2. This unlocks Bitcoin's capabilities at the asset level without changing the base layer.By handling settlement on layer 2, BEVM gradually evolves Bitcoin into a flexible public blockchain.
Use BTC as the native gas fee: The BEVM network supports using BTC as a gas fee to the validator, not only profoundly bound to BTC, but also with the BTC halving mechanism, nodes can benefit from BTC appreciation.
BEVM network supports metamask to directly view BTC balance: After adding BEVM's RPC to the wallet, you can directly manage BTC assets, reducing the steps of users to convert in different wallets and exchanges, and achieving one-click management.
Support the interaction between BTC and EVM: BEVM's DEX, BSwap supports the interaction of BRC20 like swap/bridge/provide liquidity dozens of tokens such as vmpx, ordi, sats, etc., to achieve the needs of users to exchange ecological tokens with one click.
We all know that transferring assets on the original Bitcoin network has major limitations. Bitcoin only supports native BTC transactions, and these suffer from slow confirmation times and high costs. Typically it takes anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour to confirm BTC transfers on the blockchain, and transaction fees frequently spike during periods of congestion. This makes basic value transfers quite tedious.
The Bitcoin protocol also does not support complex logic and contract capabilities natively. Implementing traditional order book exchanges requires complex off-chain components to match orders and finalize trades. Doing decentralized exchange directly on the Bitcoin blockchain is not feasible currently.
But with BEVM, we are bringing exchange-grade capabilities directly to Bitcoin and BRC20 tokens! Here are some of the key advantages BEVM provides:
Support for all forms of BTC and BRC20 assets - not just native BTC. This hugely expands the design space for BTCFi.
Much faster block confirmation times - transactions finalize in seconds rather than minutes or hours. This enables great user experiences.
Significantly lower gas fees due to architectural improvements like POS Authority consensus. Transacting on BEVM is very affordable.
By augmenting Bitcoin with an advanced secondary network optimized for BTCFi, BEVM unlocks the full potential of Bitcoin and BRC20 tokens. Users can enjoy previously impossible capabilities like seamless asset swaps and complex DeFi products with the robust security model of Bitcoin.
