Unlock Bitcointo DeFi with Native BTC
Cross-Chain Swaps
Cross-Chain Swaps
A layer 2 sidechain for tokenization that opens Bitcoin to DeFi using Atomic Swaps. Truly trustless finance via direct token interoperability without polluting the Bitcoin network.
Inspired by Bitcoin but, engineered for the future. Mintlayer's architecture blends time-tested principles with cutting-edge innovation.
Bitcoin-Inspired
Architecture
Combining Bitcoin's wisdom with blockchain innovation, we've created a powerful tech stack. UTXOs, Atomic Swaps, ZK-rollups, and simplified smart contracts unite for ultimate security and performance.
RWA Tokenization Ecosystem
Get ready for a simple RWA SaaS platform for institutions to deploy tokenized RWA with a simple template. The platform will also assist with built in compliance services.
Native Cross-Chain Swaps
Our Native Cross-Chain Swaps (i.e., Atomic Swaps) enable secure, trustless exchanges across blockchains. Being peer-to-peer, they eliminate intermediaries, wrapped tokens, and counterparty risk, ensuring a secure trustless exchange of assets.
ZK Layer 3
Scaling Solution
We're developing the ZK Thunder Network, a high-speed, EVM-compatible Layer 3 solution on Mintlayer. This upcoming technology combines our Layer 2 security with EVM compatibility and ZK scalability, aiming to significantly enhance Bitcoin's functionality.

Mintlayer's tech stack is a unique blend of proven principles mixed with new-age blockchain innovation.
Delivering scalability
Transaction batching shrinks TX size by up to 70%, reducing fees and network congestion. Plus, Lightning Network compatibility is already available, and our very own ZK Thunder, an EVM-compatible L3 execution layer, is coming soon.
Enhancing decentralization
P2P Native Cross-Chain Swaps (Atomic Swaps) eliminate the need for CEXs and liquidity pools. Low hardware requirements promote inclusivity, allowing anyone to run a full node, even on a Raspberry Pi, thus fostering true decentralization.
Security & reliability
Mintlayer prioritizes security with Non-Turing complete smart contracts, limiting complexity and easing audits. Its UTXO model, despite slightly slower block times, enhances overall reliability.
Increasing interoperability
Enhancing blockchain interoperability through Atomic Swaps, enabling secure, trustless exchanges across networks. This technology allows direct peer-to-peer transactions, eliminating intermediaries and easing cross-chain interactions.
Sustainability in mind
The significant reduction in computational demands compared to most other blockchain allows even a low-power device like a Raspberry PI, consuming just 1 to 5 Watts, to efficiently run a Mintlayer node.
Reducing frictions
Mintlayer's native cross-chain swaps, known as Atomic Swaps, significantly reduce frictions in the DeFi space. By enabling the use of native Bitcoin within DeFi applications, they eliminate the need for wrapped tokens or third-party intermediaries.
