We’re excited to announce that Chainstack now supports the Bitlayer network, a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution aiming to bring smart contract functionality to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

With this integration, Web3 developers can now leverage battle-tested Chainstack infrastructure to deploy, test, and scale their applications on Bitlayer faster than ever—without worrying about costly infrastructure overhead.

Why build on Bitlayer?

Bitlayer is a smart contract-enabled Layer 2 chain that inherits Bitcoin’s base layer security. Built for DeFi, bridges, and developer tools, it offers:

  • Bitcoin-native Layer 2: Enables Solidity smart contracts on BTC-secured infrastructure.
  • EVM compatibility: Build using Ethereum tools and migrate DApps seamlessly.
  • ZK-rollup architecture: Ensures scalable throughput and privacy.

For developers, it means greater flexibility, faster time to market, and a growing ecosystem that rewards innovation and performance.

Build better with Bitlayer on Chainstack

Running Bitlayer nodes is now Bitcoin-aligned and smart contract–enabled with Chainstack. Whether you’re building BTC-backed DeFi or bridging between Bitcoin and EVM, Chainstack offers:

  • Dedicated Bitlayer infrastructure secured by Bitcoin’s base layer
  • Flat, RU-based billing—no fee surprises or hidden multipliers
  • Global infrastructure with support for zk-rollup scaling
