2. AILayer technical architecture

The system architecture of AILayer consists of three core layers: Base Layer, Layer2, AI Layer.

2.1 Base Layer

AILayer uses the Bitcoin blockchain as the underlying infrastructure, the Bitcoin network provides a secure and reliable distributed ledger, as well as a mature consensus mechanism, which provides a solid foundation for AILayer.

At this layer, AILayer leverages Bitcoin’s native asset (BTC) as the primary medium for transactions and value transfer, supporting the issuance and circulation of various Bitcoin derivative assets, laying the foundation for a more diverse range of digital asset applications.

In addition, the underlying layer also bears the supervision and audit responsibilities of the entire AILayer system, effectively maintaining the security and compliance of the system with the reliability and transparency of Bitcoin.

The base layer is the foundation of AILayer, ensuring the security and reliability of the entire system. This architectural design fully leverages the advantages of the Bitcoin blockchain, providing a solid support structure for the innovative applications of AILayer.

2.2 Layer2

Layer2 is the core component of the AILayer architecture, using advanced scaling technology to improve the performance and efficiency of Bitcoin transactions. The main functions of this layer include:

1. Improve trading throughput

Layer2 technologies such as the Lightning Network and the Liquid Network can significantly increase the transaction throughput of the Bitcoin network. For example, the Lightning Network can support thousands of transactions per second, far exceeding the processing capacity of the Bitcoin main chain. This enables AILayer to meet the real-time and high-concurrency requirements of digital asset applications.

2. Optimize trading costs

Layer2 technology can significantly reduce the cost of each transaction. The Lightning Network uses payment channels to process most transactions off-chain, avoiding high miner fees on the main chain. Liquid Network also offers lower transaction fees. This helps reduce users’ operating costs and promotes the widespread adoption of digital asset applications.

3. Smart contract support

Layer2 not only improves transaction performance, but also supports more complex smart contract functionality. Developers can deploy various decentralized applications (dApps) on Layer2, leveraging the security and reliability of the Bitcoin blockchain. This provides a rich infrastructure for the upper-layer AI applications on AILayer.

4. Cross-chain interoperability

Layer2 network also realizes cross-chain interoperability between different blockchains. For example, the Liquid Network can facilitate asset conversion and interaction with the Bitcoin main chain. This cross-chain capability greatly enhances the flexibility and applicability of AILayer.

In the AILayer architecture, Layer2 fully leverages the advantages of the Bitcoin network while overcoming the limitations of the main chain, providing high-performance, low-cost, secure infrastructure for upper-layer AI applications. It is a crucial component of the AILayer architecture, bringing significant technological advantages to the entire system.
