Mintlayer is a protocol focused on developing a decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem that leverages the Bitcoin and Lightning Network.
The company's vision is to develop a platform to deploy smart contracts on the BTC blockchain, which will eventually give rise to a decentralized exchange (DEX). Mintlayer is opening up new ways for the DeFi sector to integrate with Bitcoin to enable real-world financial use cases on the Bitcoin blockchain.
The protocol helps lay the groundwork for giving developers the tools to build financial instruments on Bitcoin. Their goal is to empower an entire ecosystem of builders via their Ecosystem fund that provides incubator, accelerator, and grant programs. The ecosystem fund helps developers from early and developed projects to integrate and build on the Mintlayer protocol.
We leverage technologically advanced scalability to enforce network & user security, increase node inclusivity, and ensure long-term sustainability.
As our ancestors minted assets from metals to coins during the ancient times — so can you. As the inspirational minds created the radio, the TV, the MacBook, the touchscreen, the digital banking system for the first time — so can you. Layered on Bitcoin.
We don’t commit to changing the world. But we commit to building a ground for others to build upon. For the creative to find new, less costly ways of operation, for innovators to develop the tools that replace previous inefficiencies, and for the community to grow, and grow together, in a future where finance is open for all. Because the next big thing is the one that allows the development of the future.
Atomic Swaps
While other projects are trying to enable DeFi on Bitcoin, Mintlayer is the only protocol that enables direct 1:1 swap of Native Bitcoin for other tokenized assets Minted directly on Mintlayer. With these atomic swaps on Mintlayer, there are no intermediaries, peg-in, wrapped, or federated tokens. No other project has approached asset swaps in this manner, and it enables users to use native Bitcoin for financial instruments without counterparty or intermediary risk.
Decentralization
Mintlayer has eased the process of running a node so resource efficient that almost anyone with a typical desktop computer can run a node. This makes it easier for more users to run a node and helps to create a more decentralized network.
Privacy.
Privacy has been at the forefront of development at Mintlayer, which is creating a new tokenization standard called MLS-02. These “privacy enabled” tokens will increase privacy by allowing users of MLS-02 tokens to make confidential transactions and increase anonymity.
Scalability
Mintlayer solves blockchain scalability by shrinking the transaction size by about 70%. On top of this, Mintlayer also utilizes the Lightning Network for near-instant and low-cost transactions with high throughput.
Additional Features:
Mintlayer has chosen to lean on various technical architectures to accomplish our goals; we utilize UTXOs, ACLs, Lightning Network, P2P batching, and Atomic swaps.
Enhanced decentralization with inclusive P2P network and DEX
The unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) based model allows for enhanced privacy.
Reducing User Frictions
Increased Token Interoperability
Delivering scalability
