Bitcoin secured multiside chain
Built for your use case
BitVM Network is a modular framework for Bitcoin-anchored multiside chain.
BitVM Network is a modular framework for Bitcoin-anchored multiside chain. Zero-knowledge, federation-backed or fully trust-minimized designs using BitVM.
Why Build Your Own Sidechain
Bitcoin is the strongest settlement layer ever created, but it’s not designed for complex application logic. A sidechain lets you extend Bitcoin without changing it.
Unlock new execution
Smart contracts, high throughput, custom VMs, post-quantum cryptography — all without compromising Bitcoin.
Control your governance
Run your own rules, upgrades, and validator set. Ideal for enterprises, regulated systems, and consortium networks.
Private & custom settlement
Handle internal ledgers, institutional clearing, and private flows without exposing everything to a public chain.
Deployment Models
Two ways to secure your peg
VARIANT A
Federation + Merge Mine
Fast. Familiar. Protected.
k-of-n federation manages peg- AuxPoW consensus rules
- Predictable operations and governance
- YubiHSM, Coldcard, and Securosys support
Trust assumption
≥1 honest member OR any watcher
VARIANT B
Snark + BitVM Backstop
Fast. Familiar. Protected.
k-of-n federation manages peg- BitVM fraud proofs prevent theft
- SNARK verifier for proof validation
Trust assumption
≥1 honest member OR any watcher
Architecture Modular by design
Each deployment is built from independent layers

Any Execution Layer.
Bitcoin-pegged.
Choose what powers your application — we secure it with Bitcoin.
BIP-360
Bitcoin-style chain with post-quantum signatures. UTXO model. Ideal for treasury & secure flows.
EVM
Full Ethereum compatibility. Deploy existing dApps instantly with Solidity, Vyper, and MetaMask.
Beyond
Cosmos, Substrate, or fully custom VMs — if it can connect to a Bitcoin peg, it can run here.
