# Build a Bitcoin L2 with BVM Studio

**Bitcoin L2s** are high-performance blockchains that enable smart contracts and dapps to use Bitcoin as the secure base layer. Bitcoin L2s extend the capabilities of Bitcoin without changing Bitcoin, unlocking trillions in capital.

[**BVM Studio**](https://bvm.network/studio) is a visual blockchain-building tool. Just drag and drop — no coding expertise is required.

### Step 3: Deploy your Bitcoin L2 with just a click

Before BVM, building and scaling a blockchain required an army of PhDs, cryptographers, and distributed system engineers. Now, you can deploy one with just a click — no coding needed.
