Bitcoin Hyper wants to scale BTC with Solana tech

Layer 2 meets Layer Speed: Bitcoin Hyper is bringing Solana's turbocharged smart contract engine to Bitcoin

A bold new L2 project called Bitcoin Hyper is reimagining Bitcoin’s scalability by integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) — a move that could redefine how Bitcoin interacts with DeFi, smart contracts, and high-speed transactions.

The project officially dropped its whitepaper on May 8, alongside a presale for its native token HYPER. It promises something big: faster-than-Solana performance on Bitcoin, with a modular architecture designed for speed, security, and composability.

🧠 Why Solana’s tech on Bitcoin?

Bitcoin’s base layer is solid but slow. It’s built for security — not speed or smart contracts.

So far, attempts to scale BTC have come via:

• ⚡ Lightning Network (great for micropayments, not smart contracts)
• 🧱 Stacks (adds smart contracts, but built on Bitcoin logic)

Bitcoin Hyper is different. It taps into the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) — known for:

• ⛓ Parallel transaction execution
• 🚀 Blazing speeds
• 🔧 Rust-native smart contract support

Their version of SVM is reportedly even faster than Solana mainnet — potentially creating a Bitcoin Layer 2 with DeFi-level speed.

🔗 How Bitcoin bridges to this L2

To make this hybrid chain work:

• BTC is locked in a multisig wallet on the base layer
• Users mint wrapped BTC (WBTC) on Hyper L2
• Redeeming = burn wrapped tokens → release BTC on Bitcoin

This two-way peg lets Bitcoin holders interact with apps on Hyper — without compromising base layer custody.

💰 The HYPER token: fees, staking, access

HYPER is the gas that powers Bitcoin Hyper:

• 💸 Pays L2 transaction fees
• 🛡 Secures the network via staking
• 🗳 Will enable governance (DAO coming)
• 🔓 Unlocks premium dApps and services

Total supply: 21 billion HYPER. Presale pricing starts at 0.0115, now 0.012125. You can buy with ETH, USDT, BNB, or fiat via Web3Payments.

Early stakers during presale can earn up to 410% APY, with rewards vested over two years. Tokens stay locked for 7 days post-TGE.

📈 Why this matters in Solana’s big moment

Solana’s ecosystem is exploding right now:

• 💥 67M volume in 48h for the new REX Solana ETF
• 📈 TVL up 4x since January — from 2B to 8.6B
• 👥 3.3M daily active addresses
• 🧑‍💻 Second only to Ethereum in dev activity
• 🧾 Real-world use cases: Solana Pay, tokenized funds

With 75% of SOL staked (7% APY), there’s demand for SVM-based projects that tap into this momentum. Bitcoin Hyper could be the first to do it on BTC.

🚀 Can it deliver?

This isn’t just about being fast — it’s about:

• Building real dApps for BTC users
• Getting listed on major exchanges in Q4 2025
• Driving liquidity for HYPER
• Sustaining community traction

If Bitcoin Hyper ships and scales, it might finally bridge Bitcoin’s store-of-value power with Solana’s smart contract speed.

Until then, it’s a high-speed experiment — and crypto loves a good test.

⚡ TL;DR

• 🚀 Bitcoin Hyper is building a Solana-based Layer 2 for Bitcoin using SVM
• ⚖️ BTC is locked on Bitcoin and minted as wrapped tokens on Hyper L2
• 💸 HYPER is the gas: used for fees, staking, governance, and dApps
• 🌟 Early presale buyers can stake for up to 410% APY
• 📈 Solana’s surge gives Bitcoin Hyper a strategic tailwind
• ❓ Success depends on tech, liquidity, listings, and real use cases
