Bear with us—our docs are a bit behind. We’re heads down in code right now, but we’ll get these pages up to speed as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!

Build on Bitcoin with BVM

BVM is Bitcoin's most comprehensive development infrastructure, offering over 30 fully featured services for building on Bitcoin — from scaling technologies like Bitcoin rollups and Data Availability layers to emerging technologies such as Bitcoin metaprotocols and GPU-accelerated VM.

The widest and deepest suite of products on Bitcoin

BVM also has the widest and deepest functionality within those services, so you can choose the right tool for the job and get the best cost and performance.

For example, BVM offers the widest variety of Data Availability solutions on Bitcoin — including Celestia, Filecoin, Near DA, Avail DA, Eigen DA, and Bitcoin DA itself.

BVM also offers the deepest rollup solutions on Bitcoin — including ZK, Optimistic, and Sovereign rollups.

This all makes it easier, faster, and cheaper for builders to migrate their existing dapps from Ethereum and Solana to Bitcoin and build nearly anything they can imagine on Bitcoin.

Fastest pace of innovation

With BVM, you can experiment and innovate quickly using the latest technologies. We are continually accelerating our pace of innovation to invent entirely new technologies for building on Bitcoin.

For example, in Feb 2023, BVM pioneered smart contracts on Bitcoin with the launch of Trustless Computer, which lets developers deploy Solidity smart contracts on Bitcoin.

In June 2023, BVM brought rollups to Bitcoin, empowering builders to launch their own Bitcoin L2s with just a few clicks.

Since then, BVM has been innovating and adding many more products to Bitcoin, such as Bitcoin Heartbeats, BVM Bitcoin Studio, and GPU-accelerated VMs.
