This section evaluates how Bitlayer allocates its token supply compared to leading Blockchain projects. It measures deviation across key stakeholder groups and determines whether the allocation aligns with proven benchmarks. The analysis helps assess whether BTR follows a fair and balanced distribution structure or introduces concentration risks.
This section analyzes who holds actual control over the Bitlayer circulating supply year over year, with a focus on early stages where governance risk is highest. It assesses whether the governance power of BTR is centralized or decentralized, and flags any dominance by insiders or investors.
This section analyzes whether BTR token inflation is sustainable over time. We assess how balanced the vesting and unlock schedules are, and evaluate how inflationary pressure may affect long-term token value, circulating supply growth, and investor dilution.
This section tracks every BTR token unlock and dilution event across the full vesting timeline. We quantify the size and timing of each release, classify dilution risk levels (low, medium, high), and highlight the largest unlock event by date and percentage of total supply. Charts help understand emission pressure and anticipate potential supply shocks.
This section evaluates the circulating supply and emission schedule of BTR, focusing on its initial float at TGE, its dilution profile over time, and how these levels compare with top-performing projects.
This section reviews all investor fundraising rounds for Bitlayer and the token purchase terms attached to BTR. It compares entry price, unlock structure, vesting length and if terms align with market standards.
This section compares the tokens valuation and performance to other projects within the same niche. It includes ROI benchmarks from the past year, the last 15 launches, and the top 5 competitors.
We compare investor valuations using both Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) and Vested Diluted Valuation (VDV) models to assess pricing from two key perspectives. The round that ranks highest across both valuation models is considered the best-valued round.
This section evaluates how fast investors recover their initial capital across Bitlayer's private rounds. We track cumulative ROI from token unlocks, identify which rounds break even first or last, and pinpoint the month when ROI becomes positive to assess payback speed and round attractiveness.
This section ranks all investment rounds based on key investor metrics, including break-even speed, recovery at TGE, Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV), and Vested Diluted Valuation (VDV). Each round is scored and ordered from most to least favorable, showing which round offers the strongest conditions for investors in Bitlayer.
This section analyzes whether the BTR token has a clear economic role within the ecosystem, and more importantly, why users would hold it over time instead of treating it as a purely speculative asset. We evaluate what utility the token provides, which functions it enables, and how it solves real problems across the network.
Utility Type | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Governance | BTR holders vote on protocol upgrades, fee parameters, and treasury allocation decisions | |
| Staking (DPoS) | Validators stake BTR in PoS consensus, earning ~3% APR in BTR rewards plus BTC transaction fees | |
| Gas Fee | Network fees are paid in BTC, not BTR. | |
| Medium of Exchange | BTR is not used for internal protocol fees or payments (fees are denominated in Bitcoin) | |
| Medium of Payment | Services, bridges, and YBTC minting all require BTC payment, not BTR |
Value Accrual | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fee Redistribution | When Fee Switch is activated by governance, a portion of transaction fees are directed as rewards to BTR stakers | |
| Revenue Share | The protocol revenue can be shared with BTR stakeholders when enabled by governance. | |
| Buyback and LP | There is no specific liquidity provision (LP) reward mechanism. | |
| ve-Token Models | There is currently no vote-escrow or dual-token model | |
| Burn | BTR’s tokenomics do not include any burning mechanism. |
This section is one of the most important layers: it analyzes whether Bitlayer (BTR) captures and retains on-chain value and how effectively that value flows back to the token. We examine fee redistribution, staking rewards, buyback mechanisms, burn models, and whether the protocol creates real token sinks that reduce sell pressure over time.
Bitlayer has 2 primary token utilities:
Bitlayer token distribution allocates 1,000,000,000 BTR across 5 primary stakeholder groups:
BTR uses variable cliffs and vesting schedules that change depending on the allocation:
26.6% of the total supply (266,100,000 BTR) is unlocked at TGE, with the tokens split between Community, Foundation, and Public Sale.
Bitlayer has a total supply of 1,000,000,000 BTR, of which 305,637,501 BTR (30.6% of total) is currently circulating.
Total length of the full Bitlayer emission schedule is 7 years, with 43.81% released in Year 1, while the remaining 56.19% is released over the following 6 years.
Bitlayer has 4 investor rounds, with the following investment price and vesting:
56.8% of the Bitlayer supply is allocated to community focused pools such as Ecosystem Incentive, Public Airdrop, and Node Incentive.
Bitlayer BTR tokenomics enables Bitcoin Layer 2 scaling solution built on BitVM technology, achieving Bitcoin-equivalent security through advanced verification protocols. The token economics support expanded Bitcoin computational capabilities, aligning with the vision that Bitcoin can compute everything. BTR token utility includes governance participation, network validation rewards, and fee distribution mechanisms. The protocol introduces BitRC-20 asset framework, fostering diverse asset classes and secure development within Bitcoin ecosystem. Bitlayer economics incentivize long-term staking and network participation through inflationary rewards and transaction fee sharing.
