SatLayer (SLAY) is an economic layer designed to make Bitcoin programmable through restaking—allowing staked BTC or liquid staking tokens to secure Bitcoin Validated Services (BVS) while earning rewards. By building on Bitcoin’s security, SatLayer aims to expand BTC’s utility beyond simple transactions into a foundation for DeFi, gaming, and Web3 applications.
The SLAY token fuels the SatLayer ecosystem, supporting governance, staking, slashing collateral, and incentivizing developers and validators. With a fixed maximum supply and allocations for community, ecosystem growth, foundation, early backers, and contributors, SLAY is designed to balance decentralization with long-term sustainability.
Bitcoin Validated Services (BVS) are at the heart of SatLayer’s vision, enabling decentralized applications to leverage Bitcoin’s security without reinventing consensus. These services can span data availability, rollups, oracles, and other infrastructure critical to scaling Bitcoin-based ecosystems.
