In May 2024, the Bitcoin (BTC) halving will be one of the hottest events in the market. As the halving approaches, more funds will focus on Bitcoin, drawing investor attention to the Bitcoin-derived ecosystem. Layer 2, with its compelling narrative, is likely to become a preferred target for alpha-seeking capital. This article provides an overview of the current BTC Layer 2 concept race and introduces representative projects, including Stacks, RSK, and the Lightning Network.

The native technologies introduced after Bitcoin's Taproot upgrade in 2021, such as Schnorr signatures and Mast contracts, have made it possible to build a decentralized BTC layer 2 (L2). BEVM utilizes these technologies to propose a decentralized L2 solution based on the Bitcoin lightweight node network, which is considered to be the key to achieving cross-chain trustlessness in BTC.

Merlin Chain currently supports Bitcoin protocols including BRC20, BRC420, Bitmap, Ordinals, and will soon support Atomicals, Stamp, Runes, etc. According to official sources, there are currently hundreds of dApps in preparation or online. In a recent AMA, Merlin Chain also announced collaborations with 5 DApp projects. This article will briefly introduce the basics of these pioneering projects.

This article provides a detailed analysis of the security challenges and threats of BTC Layer 2 technology. As the demand for the Bitcoin network grows, Layer 2 solutions such as Lightning Network, Rootstock, Stacks, etc. are developed to improve transaction speed and scalability, but at the same time bring new security issues, such as channel attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, double Flower attack etc.

This article explores BTC Layer2 scaling solutions, including the Lightning Network, Sidechains, and Rollup technologies, which facilitate fast, low-cost transactions while maintaining the decentralization and security of the BTC network. The Lightning Network enhances transaction speed and privacy through payment channels and off-chain transactions, while Sidechains like CKB and Stacks offer independent and innovative features through two-way pegging. Rollup technology increases throughput by processing large volumes of transactions off-chain, despite challenges in settlement time and computational resources.

This article discusses BTC Layer2 expansion solutions, including Lightning Network, side chain, Rollup and other technologies, which achieve fast and low-cost transactions through different mechanisms, while also ensuring the decentralization and security of the BTC network. The Lightning Network improves transaction speed and privacy with its payment channels and off-chain transactions, while sidechains like CKB and Stacks provide independent and innovative functionality through two-way pegs. Rollup technology improves throughput by processing large volumes of transactions off-chain, despite facing challenges in settlement time and computing resources.
