Bitcoin has always been the most dominant.
But it’s also been the most underutilised.
@satlayer is changing that by turning BTC into the backbone of security for dApps and protocols across chains.
Here’s what you need to know 🧵👇
2/ So what is @satlayer?
Think of satlayer as a restaking hub for Bitcoin.
Instead of BTC just sitting idle, SatLayer lets holders restake it to secure decentralised apps (BVSs) and also earn yield in the process.
Basically fully programmable BTC.
3/ But what’s a BVS?
A Bitcoin Validated Service is any app that uses BTC restakers + operators from @satlayer to stay secure.
That means everything from oracles, lending markets, insurance and prime brokerages can now tap into this Bitcoin trust layer.
4/ Rewards are simple
It begins with you restaking your BTC (or BTC-pegged assets like wBTC or LSTs) on @satlayer.
Then you delegate it to reliable operators, and earn tokens from the apps you help secure.
6/ Development
There’s currently two flagship services being built on @satlayer:
Bitcoin-backed Prime Brokerage - unlocking fast settlement & liquidity services for big trades.
Bitcoin-backed Insurance - premiums + slashing conditions make BTC collateral actually productive.
@satlayer 7/ TLDR
@satlayer is Bitcoin restaking, but on crack.
- Secure dApps as Bitcoin Validated Services
- Earn rewards with BTC restaking
- Multi-chain from day one
- Progressing rapidly
- Built for real yield and accountability
Is your BTC still idle?
