Bitlayer Is Here. GoMining’s First Launchpad Project (And Bitcoin’s Hottest DeFi Infra Project)
The wait is over! We’re over the moon to officially launch the GoMining Launchpad, your exclusive gateway to early access on the most promising Bitcoin projects.
Our very first project to kick things off? The innovative Bitlayer.
You don’t need to be a crypto expert to spot momentum.
Bitlayer has over 3 million users, and is backed by Franklin Templeton, Polychain, Framework, Bitcoin Magazine’s UXTO management, and many other global leading investors. The project has also amassed 65 million transactions, and $386M+ TVL as of July 22nd, 2025 (Total Value Locked = the total crypto that has been deposited into the platform).
Now, early access is open through GoMining’s BTCFi Launchpad!
The GoMining Launchpad offers exclusive pre-sales to new crypto projects before general public trading starts. This is your chance to get in early on projects that push Bitcoin forward, and get rewarded for being an early adopter, right before they get further public attention.
*Note: Access to Bitlayer via the GoMining Launchpad is not available for users based in the United States.
Bitlayer: The First GoMining Launchpad Project Unlocking Bitcoin DeFi
Bitcoin has always been king when it comes to digital gold, but what if your BTC could do more? What if it could power smart contracts, yield farming, and real-time trading directly on Bitcoin’s network?
That’s the promise Bitlayer brings.
About Bitlayer
Bitlayer is pioneering the first BitVM implementation. By merging unparalleled security with a lightning-fast smart contract engine, Bitlayer unlocks the full potential of Bitcoin DeFi.
Built on Bitcoin’s native security architecture, Bitlayer is constructing a trust-minimized BitVM Bridge, a yield-bearing asset YBTC and a high-throughput Bitcoin Rollup — bringing true utility, speed, and composability to Bitcoin, and establishing a complete DeFi infrastructure for the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Bitlayer’s Core Solutions
BitVM Bridge & YBTC: Gateway for Bitcoin DeFi — A next-generation BTC bridge featuring a trust-minimized security model and seamless interoperability, enabling BTC to flow into DeFi as yield-bearing YBTC.
Bitlayer Network: Engine for Bitcoin DeFi — A Bitcoin Rollup powered by BitVM stack and Real-time EVM, enabling real-time, low-cost, and scalable Bitcoin DeFi applications.
Bitlayer is committed to an open and collaborative Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, working with partners to advance YBTC and BitVM stack adoption, driving the future of secure, scalable, and programmable Bitcoin finance.
Together, these tools let developers build powerful DeFi apps on Bitcoin, and give users a smooth, safe, and low-fee way to trade, lend, or earn with their BTC — without ever wrapping or leaving the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Why Bitlayer Is Worth Your Attention
Bitlayer is already one of the top 3 Bitcoin ecosystems by total value locked (TVL), peaking at $850M in 2024.
The team behind it?
Charlie Hu: ex-Polygon head of APAC, ex-Tezos, early Polkadot backer and ecosystem builder
Kevin He: built Huobi’s $14B chain, launched 4 EVMs, 27 ZK-rollups, and dApps with billions in activity
What’s Coming Up?
Bitlayer is already live with its Mainnet V1 and is working toward an even more powerful, lightning-fast version by the end of 2025.
With partnerships across leading blockchains, wallets, and infrastructure projects such as Sui, Base, Arbitrum, Starknet, and Sonic SVM, as well as a recently announced collaboration with Antpool, F2pool, and SpiderPool (together accounting for over 30% of the Bitcoin hashrate), the Bitlayer BVM Bridge is already supercharging Bitcoin DeFi.
Backed by a dedicated team of ecosystem builders, Bitlayer is positioned to become the engine powering Bitcoin DeFi worldwide. Whether you’re a developer, a trader, or a Bitcoin holder looking to unlock new opportunities, Bitlayer offers a secure, scalable, and decentralized path forward that is already live with its mainnet V1 and is working toward an even more powerful, lightning-fast version by the end of 2025.
How to Get Involved in Bitlayer’s Launch via the GoMining Launchpad?
For the full deep dive on the Launchpad mechanics, check out our complete Guide to GoMining Launchpad with everything you need to know and how to get started.
For now, here’s the quick version:
- Discover the Project — Follow our socials and blog for the latest updates on Bitlayer and upcoming projects
- Stake $GOMINING or Buy Digital Miner THs — Lock in your VIP Tier (Minimum 10 THs or 100 veGOMINING votes required)
- Register for Allocation (the amount of tokens you’re allowed to claim during early access) — Sign up during the registration window
- Allocate Funds — Confirm your allocation during the sale period
The next step is the Token Generation Event (TGE).
A Token Generation Event is when a crypto project officially creates and releases its token, making it available to holders, buyers, or traders for the first time. This is the first step before the vesting schedule ever happens.
A vesting schedule is a timeline showing when the tokens become available for use or sale. This helps the project grow sustainably by gradually unlocking tokens over time, supporting long-term alignment.
When the TGE (Token Generation Event) happens, Bitlayer will mint its $BTR tokens. In many TGEs, tokens become tradable after the event, or after the token is listed on an exchange.
If you joined early, the TGE is when your tokens start unlocking, based on the pre-set vesting schedule designed for long-term growth. You'll only be able to make use of the tokens after the TGE event, which may or may not coincide with the token listing.
*Update: Bitlayer has moved to a 100% unlock model at TGE for the GoMining Launchpad
That means all your $BTR tokens will be available to you immediately after the TGE — no waiting periods, no lockups, and no gradual vesting.
This gives early participants full flexibility from day one: you can choose to hold, sell, or stake your tokens as soon as they’re live.
Tokenomics & Launch Highlights
Bitlayer’s utility token, BTR, has a total supply of 1 billion, launched on GoMining Launchpad at $0.20/token with a starting market cap of $200M.
With carefully planned vesting schedules for team, investors, and ecosystem incentives, BTR is designed for long-term sustainability and growth.
As we gear up to launch the GoMining Launchpad, we’re kicking things off with a live AMA featuring the Bitlayer team — streaming on X this July 24 at 3 PM UTC.
