Three profiles, three points of view. Choose the entry point that suits you.
The project presents Bitcoin Hyper as a Layer 2 rollup anchored to Bitcoin, whose planned execution environment is the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The stated aim is to obtain Bitcoin's security while achieving transaction throughput of the kind Solana offers.
The architecture is divided into three distinct layers:
Bitcoin (Layer 1) — settlement
Every batch of transactions is anchored to Bitcoin — via OP_RETURN or Taproot. Bitcoin's security underwrites the immutability of the state.
Hyper Rollup (Layer 2) — SVM execution
The heart of the system. The sequencer collects transactions, runs them in the SVM/Sealevel environment (with native parallel processing) and periodically publishes the state root to the Bitcoin network.
Applications (Layer 3) — DeFi and beyond
DeFi, NFTs, DEXs, lending, gaming, oracles, SPL tokens. Any program compatible with the Solana toolchain can run on Hyper without significant changes.
SVM — Solana Virtual Machine
Sealevel allows thousands of mutually non-conflicting programs to run in parallel. Solana developers can bring their Rust/Anchor programs to Hyper with minimal changes.
Sequencer — today and ahead
At launch: centralised (censorship risk, a single point of failure). According to the roadmap: decentralisation through rotation and auctions. Worth watching.
Canonical bridge BTC↔Hyper
Under test on DevNet. Forced exit mechanism (guaranteed withdrawal) is not yet finalised. A priority before mainnet.
Data availability — an open question
The final solution is still under study (March 2026). The options: an external DA layer (Celestia), sharding, erasure coding. A material technical risk.
What works today (DevNet)
The SVM is running, Rust/Anchor programs can be executed, SPL tokens work, the block explorer is live, basic DeFi testing is under way and multisig has been checked. Selective access for partner developers.
The total supply is 21,000,000,000, a deliberate echo of Bitcoin. The figures are taken from the whitepaper — as at 14 May 2026 some vesting details had still not been finalised.

Launch of the official website, brand development, whitepaper v1, formation of the core team, community building on X, Telegram and Discord
The $HYPER token is in a multi-stage public presale. Staking is live and pays a return to early participants. Work continues on the first smart contract audit and on advisory and developer partnerships.
SVM programs run natively, the block explorer is live, and DeFi, SPL and multisig are being tested with selected developers
The first audit of the smart contract and the bridge is under way. According to the project, the results will be published on the official website before the TGE.
The BTC↔Hyper bridge is being tested on DevNet and the forced exit mechanism is in development. The plan is for the bridge to be decentralised and non-custodial.
Launch of a testnet for developers and the wider community. Ahead of mainnet.
Deployment of the Bitcoin Hyper Layer 2 network. Activation of the canonical BTC bridge. The SVM fully operational. The first dApps and smart contracts on the Layer 2.
Listing of $HYPER on DEXs (Uniswap) and CEXs. A developer toolkit (SDK + API). Use in DeFi, gaming and NFTs. Listing price: $0.013681.
Launch of the Bitcoin Hyper DAO for community governance. Incentives for node operators and developers. The project intends to decentralise the sequencer within two to four years of the mainnet launch.
Technical articles and critical analysis. The claims that matter are backed by identifiable sources.
Bitcoin is the most secure network in the world, yet it settles only about seven transactions per second. Rollups offer a way to scale without compromising the security of the base layer.
Why did Bitcoin Hyper choose Solana's SVM as its execution engine? A guide for readers who know Bitcoin but have never come across smart contracts.
Every major rollup (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) started with a centralised sequencer. Is that an acceptable risk or a warning sign?
Episodes of technical analysis. Well suited to going deeper on the move.

Volume I — the foundations, architecture and security of a Bitcoin Layer 2
Michele Stefanelli · MS Digital Asset Academy
This first volume — the volume devoted to understanding the system — reconstructs the project's architecture question by question, following a method set out at the start and held to until the last page.
The team's statements are treated as claims to be verified, facts are treated as facts, and the distance between the two is itself the object of the investigation. Twenty-four chapters, each built on concrete analogies, questions and answers, and each closing with a short summary. The judgement — tokenomics, risks, the comparison with other Layer 2 solutions — is the subject of Volume II.
Balanced, well-documented and independent analysis of Bitcoin Hyper, of Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions, of the MiCA Regulation and of crypto-asset due diligence. Regulatory warnings, technical updates on the projects under observation, and editorial news from MS Digital Asset Academy. You will receive updates on the project. No spam.
