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

About this episode

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.
