Bitlayer and DeFi 2.0: A New Step Forward for the Global Financial System

Since 2020, Decentralization Fintech (DeFi) has created a revolution in the global financial industry, providing access to lending, trading, and profit-making services without the need for permission from intermediary organizations. However, the first phase – DeFi 1.0 – also revealed many limitations: unsustainable profits, high transaction fees, fragmented liquidity, and frequent security breaches. The emergence of DeFi 2.0 marks an important transformation, focusing on sustainability, interoperability, and user ownership. In this trend, #Bitlayer – a high-performance Layer 2 platform – emerges as a key infrastructure, supporting sustainable development and global scalability for DeFi.

1. From DeFi 1.0 to DeFi 2.0 Characteristics of DeFi 1.0: Starting with liquidity mining ( to attract users. Relying too much on yield farming has caused profit bubbles.
