AILayer is a smaller blockchain network with a native token called AIL. The name points to artificial intelligence, but the apps we list on it are mostly about Bitcoin-based finance. Our data does not include details on its consensus design, scaling approach or EVM compatibility, so check the project's official documentation for those technical specifics.
AIL is the chain's native token, and network fees are generally paid in a gas token like it. We do not state exact fee levels here because they can change. The chain-level DeFi TVL figure in our data looks incomplete, but the app-level numbers are clearer. BitFi BTC accounts for nearly all of the value we can see, at about $91.5M at the time of writing.
The ecosystem is small, with five dApps listed, and it leans toward BTCFi. BitFi BTC is the largest. It is a CeDeFi platform with bfBTC, a yield-bearing Bitcoin liquid staking token, and bfUSD, a yield stablecoin. DeSyn Basis Trading offers pool-based yield strategies, and Pell Network focuses on Bitcoin restaking. Brotocol aggregates liquidity across Bitcoin layer-2 networks with a bridge, swap tool and payments product. Most of these apps also run on other chains, so check which network you are using before you deposit.
