Elastos BeL2, a pioneering Bitcoin Layer 2 solution, has recently been awarded a $25,000 grant from Starknet, the leading player in zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology. This grant underscores the growing recognition and support for BeL2’s innovative approach in advancing Native Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, particularly in the realm of Bitcoin lending. By incorporating Starknet’s advanced ZKPs and the Cairo programming language, BeL2 aims to further its development of smart contract capabilities and decentralized applications, all while keeping Bitcoin (BTC) assets within its native network.

Starknet, developed by StarkWare, represents a significant leap in ZKP technology, which enhances blockchain privacy and security. Zero-knowledge proofs enable parties to validate statements without revealing additional information beyond the truth of the statement itself. This technology is crucial for scaling blockchain networks and is central to BeL2’s integration of sophisticated smart contracts while maintaining Bitcoin’s integrity and security.

“We are thrilled to receive this grant from Starknet and to announce our collaboration to integrate their ZKP technology and the <a href="https://book.cairo-lang.org/ch00-00-introduction.html#:~:text=Cairo%20is%20a%20programming%20language,any%20program%20running%20on%20it" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cairo programming language</a> into our platform,” stated Sasha Mitchell, Head of Bitcoin Layer 2 at Elastos. “This grant is a significant milestone for BeL2, validating our technology’s maturity and capabilities. It will enable us to advance our Native Bitcoin lending solutions and leverage the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin as a robust alternative financial system.” 
<h2 id="b-enhancing-bel2-with-starknet-s-cairo-programming-language-b">Enhancing BeL2 with Starknet’s Cairo Programming Language</h2> 
The collaboration with Starknet will facilitate deeper integration with the Cairo programming language, allowing BeL2 to enhance Bitcoin’s functionality and support secure, efficient, and scalable DeFi applications. Cairo, known for its ability to execute complex computations efficiently, will enable BeL2 to drive several key innovations: 
<ul> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">Enhanced Transaction Privacy and Security: ZKPs will ensure that transactions on BeL2 are verified in a secure and private manner, safeguarding user data and financial activities.</li> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">Decentralized Arbitration and Fairness: BeL2 will implement a decentralized, collateralized node-based system to oversee and enforce fairness within Native Bitcoin lending DeFi, ensuring transparency and equity in transactions.</li> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">BTC Oracle Integration: The introduction of a BTC Oracle will facilitate cross-chain interactions by enabling information flow without transferring Bitcoin assets, thereby preserving Bitcoin’s central infrastructure.</li> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;">Vision and Ambitions for Bitcoin-Backed Financial Systems: BeL2’s vision extends beyond technological innovation, aiming to create a revolutionary financial system anchored by Bitcoin. The initiative seeks to establish a Bitcoin-backed Bretton Woods system designed to address global debt crises and position Bitcoin as a global hard currency. This new financial framework will leverage Bitcoin’s inherent stability and security, serving as a foundation for developing advanced decentralized financial applications.</li> 
</ul> 
As Starknet’s integration with Cairo deepens, BeL2 will enhance its smart contract functionalities, decentralized arbitration, and financial product offerings. This collaboration exemplifies Elastos’ commitment to leading the charge in creating a fairer and more decentralized financial system built on Bitcoin’s robust infrastructure. The advancements in arbiters and the prominence of BeL2 at events like Token 2049 underscore Elastos’ dedication to driving the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin as a global financial standard. 
<h2 id="b-a-new-era-for-bitcoin-backed-financial-systems-b">A New Era for Bitcoin-Backed Financial Systems</h2> 
The establishment of the Bitcoin Research Institute by the University of Wyoming marks a significant step in advancing both academic and practical understanding of Bitcoin’s potential. By integrating Starknet’s ZKPs, BeL2 is positioning itself at the forefront of developing a resilient native Bitcoin lending ecosystem. This strategic move is crucial for the evolution of Bitcoin as a global financial asset and opens new opportunities for Bitcoin holders and borrowers alike. 
The potential for native Bitcoin lending through a secure and scalable Layer 2 solution like BeL2 paves the way for more complex financial products to be developed directly on the Bitcoin network. This innovation is expected to drive significant growth in the cryptocurrency sector, further establishing Bitcoin’s role in the financial landscape. 
Elastos BeL2’s focus on Native Bitcoin lending represents a major advancement in Bitcoin DeFi. The integration of Starknet’s ZKPs and the Cairo programming language is set to redefine the possibilities within the Native Bitcoin lending space. The $25,000 grant from Starknet not only highlights the promising future of BeL2 but also marks the beginning of a new era in Bitcoin-backed financial systems. 
As Elastos continues to develop and refine its offerings, it is well-positioned to lead in decentralized finance and champion Bitcoin’s mainstream adoption as a global hard currency.
