SatLayer isn’t just unlocking BTC yield — it’s using Bitcoin to secure all of Web3.
As trust in #DeFi wanes, #BTCFi begins to emerge, and modular stacks explode across the ecosystem… SatLayer quietly enters with a bold thesis:
Turn Bitcoin into the security backbone of Web3.
BTC is the most powerful asset in crypto — but also one of the most passive. It holds immense value, unrivaled decentralization, and unmatched trust — yet mostly sits idle. #SatLayer wants to change that.
Today’s modular Web3 stack is clear:
– Execution: Layer 2s
– Data availability: Celestia
– Compute: EigenLayer
– Oracle/Data: Chainlink
– Interop: Wormhole
→ But what about shared security?
This is the gap SatLayer is filling — asking one sharp question:
“If Ethereum can be restaked to secure dApps…
Why can’t Bitcoin — the most trusted asset — do the same?” Their answer: BVS – Bitcoin Validated Services.
The model is refreshingly straightforward:
– Stake BTC (or liquid staked BTC) into SatLayer
– Select the app you want to secure (bridge, oracle, DEX...)
– Your BTC becomes the collateral that powers the app’s trust
– If the operator behaves → you earn real yield
– If they cheat → your BTC gets slashed
→ Security backed by skin in the game. Not promises.
For BTC holders:
– No need to sell or lock for years
– Put your BTC to work securing modular infrastructure — and earn sustainable yield
For builders:
– No need to launch a token, build a chain, or recruit validators
– Just define your slashing conditions → launch a BVS → pay for BTC-backed security
Let SatLayer handle security — you focus on building product.
And it’s all fully onchain.
Smart contracts monitor, validate, and distribute rewards or penalties autonomously.
BTC, once dormant, now becomes an active layer of defense for the modular stack.
From the Wolf’s lens:
– Modular infra needs real security
– Web3 needs sustainable yield
– BTC needs a new role in the next cycle
SatLayer isn’t chasing hype.
They’re building the missing piece — at exactly the right time.
And the thesis is hard to argue with:
– Leverage crypto’s strongest asset
– Solve a critical gap in modular design
– Ship just as modular Web3 reaches escape velocity
Security is no longer implicit.
It has a price — and that price is Bitcoin.
