DETAILS ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND LAYEREDGE
LayerEdge is not a traditional Layer 2 (L2) solution like the Lightning Network, nor does it generate blocks or manage transactions directly. Instead, it functions as a decentralized verification and proof aggregation layer that enables scalable, trust-minimized computation and settlement on Bitcoin. Its mission is to transform Bitcoin from a store of value into a 'decentralized supercomputer' capable of supporting complex applications, such as decentralized finance (DeFi), artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and decentralized identity (DID), while maintaining Bitcoin’s security and decentralization.
