BTCFi and the GoMining Launchpad | How Bitlayer and GoMining Are Powering the Next Era of Bitcoin DeFi | Bitcoin.com News Podcast

David Lolaev (Head of GoMining Launchpad), Charlie Hu (Founder of Bitlayer), and Zamy Atlukhanova (GoMining Launchpad Project Lead) join the Bitcoin.com News Podcast to discuss how BTCFi — Bitcoin-based decentralized finance — is rapidly transforming the crypto landscape.

In this episode, the guests introduce the GoMining Launchpad, a new platform designed to help Bitcoin-focused projects launch tokens, raise capital, and connect with engaged communities. Its first project, Bitlayer, is pioneering BitVM, unlocking trust-minimized smart contracts and programmable DeFi functionality secured by Bitcoin’s network.

Charlie Hu, whose Layer-2 project Bitlayer has already processed over 65 million transactions, reached $850M+ TVL, and onboarded millions of users, shares how this ecosystem is pushing Bitcoin’s capabilities beyond store-of-value into scalable, decentralized finance. Meanwhile, David Lolaev and Zamy Atlukhanova explain how GoMining’s infrastructure and user education initiatives are bridging mining, DeFi, and accessibility — laying the groundwork for a sustainable Bitcoin-native DeFi ecosystem.

Together, the conversation paints a compelling vision for BTCFi — a new era where Bitcoin isn’t just held, but actively utilized to power liquidity, innovation, and global participation.
