Learn more about Bitlayer

What is Bitlayer?

Bitlayer is the first Bitcoin security-equivalent L2 using the BitVM paradigm and an EVM-compatible chain so BTC can power on-chain DeFi. (bitlayer.org, GitHub)

How to get Bitlayer RPC endpoint?

Sign up for a free Chainstack account and open your project dashboard. In the dashboard, choose Add node, select Bitlayer, and provision either a dedicated node or an elastic cluster. After the node syncs, open Access & credentials and grab the RPC URL for immediate integration.

How to run a Bitlayer node?

Fire up a Global Node on Chainstack to read BitVM-powered blocks instantly. A Dedicated Node grants isolated throughput for BTC DeFi. DIY means deploying attestations, running Bitcoin full nodes, and bridging to an EVM sidechain.

What is Bitlayer RPC API?

Bitlayer’s EVM chain offers standard JSON-RPC while linking to Bitcoin via bit_getDepositStatus. Clients monitor L1 confirmations before finalizing L2 deposits. Gas is denominated in satoshis returned by eth_gasPrice.

How much does it cost to run a Bitlayer RPC?

Bitlayer nodes link to Bitcoin, so you’ll host both a BTC full node and an EVM sidechain—expect US $140-250 / month. Proof relay bandwidth can add more. Chainstack offers Bitlayer RPC at a fraction of that total.

Is Bitlayer RPC free?

You can ping Bitlayer’s open RPC for free, though BTC relay load causes stalls. Chainstack supplies 3 million free Bitlayer requests with managed reliability.

How to setup a Bitlayer RPC?

Copy the Bitlayer EVM endpoint provided by Chainstack. Replace the default provider in your DeFi app or paste it into MetaMask for quick access.

Notes for Bitlayer API

When communicating with a Bitlayer node, the client implements a JSON-RPC specification compatible with Ethereum. The recommended libraries are ethers.js for JavaScript or web3.py for Python.

Bitcoin L2 with EVM compatibility, secured by Bitcoin's PoW through BitVM.

You can also access Bitlayer directly through the Chainstack MCP server — query live on-chain data, deploy nodes, request testnet funds from the faucet, and search Chainstack docs from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Codex, Pi, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible or SKILL-compatible AI agent.
