Bitlayer


Bitlayer API is available on Web3 API platform.

Bitlayer is the first Bitcoin security-equivalent layer 2 based on BitVM. It consists of an EVM compatible chain/sequencer that can map BTC ecological assets and facilitate the entry of BTC users.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with Bitlayer — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to a Bitlayer node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.

The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC which is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in other message-passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
