# B² Network

> Unlocking Bitcoin's second growth curve

B² Network is a Bitcoin layer 2 infrastructure company. It provides an EVM-compatible rollup, a BTC-collateralized stablecoin, and AI-focused tools for developers and autonomous agents.

B² Network is a company building Bitcoin-focused blockchain infrastructure, combining a layer 2 rollup with tools aimed at connecting Bitcoin liquidity to artificial intelligence applications. It offers a modular hub layer alongside its rollup, letting developers deploy smart contracts secured by cryptographic proofs while settling activity back to the Bitcoin network. Its stated purpose is to make Bitcoin usable as active collateral and a medium of exchange rather than a passive store of value.

The platform addresses the problem of Bitcoin's limited native programmability by extending it with an EVM-compatible execution environment and a data availability layer. Transactions are processed off the Bitcoin base chain and later verified and settled through commitments to it, allowing lower fees and faster confirmation while relying on Bitcoin for underlying security. A signal-driven module extends this infrastructure toward coordinating automated agents and models that interact on-chain.

Its product scope includes the B2 Hub and rollup infrastructure, a bridge for moving assets between Bitcoin and the network, and U2, a stablecoin collateralized by Bitcoin designed to support decentralized finance and automated transactions. Additional applications cover staking, mining coordination, and community-oriented tools built on top of the network. It is used by developers building decentralized applications, holders bridging or staking Bitcoin, and participants in its emerging AI-oriented services.

## Products

- [B² Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): B² Network is a Bitcoin Layer 2 network that provides EVM-compatible smart contract execution secured by Bitcoin. It combines a rollup execution layer with a Layer 1.5 consensus hub that anchors validator commitments to Bitcoin for finality, enabling fast, low-cost transactions and Bitcoin-backed decentralized applications. Developers migrate or build applications that settle back to Bitcoin, while users and AI agents transact using Bitcoin and related assets. The network underpins a broader set of bridging, staking, mining, and stablecoin services built on top of it. (L2, Live, Main Product)
- [AI Signal](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): AI Signal is an AI agent platform that lets autonomous agents turn computational activity into verifiable, payable on-chain signals. It provides agent-native accounts that allow agents to hold and transact in Bitcoin or a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin, along with signal routing that feeds validator consensus. Developers and autonomous agents use it to coordinate tasks, settle payments, and participate in network governance without human intervention. (AI Agent Platform, Live)
- [U2](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): U2 is a stablecoin issuance system that manages a Bitcoin-collateralized, dollar-pegged token designed for predictable settlement. It maintains peg stability through over-collateralization and automated liquidation mechanisms tied to Bitcoin price movements, targeting use by AI agents, miners, and users needing a stable unit of account. The token is intended for task payments, decentralized finance activity, and long-term settlement contracts within a Bitcoin-secured ecosystem. (Stablecoin Issuer, In Development)
- [Mining²](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): Mining² is pool software that routes Bitcoin miners' hashrate and mining revenue into staking pools, agent wallets, and liquidity pools. It splits mining rewards automatically to strengthen network validator security, fund autonomous AI agents, and provide collateral for stablecoin minting. Miners use it to access liquidity and yield from their mining output without selling their underlying Bitcoin holdings. (Pool Software, Live)
- [B2 Staking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): B2 Staking is a staking service that lets holders delegate the native token to earn rewards while supporting network validator security. It supports staking across the primary network and an additional connected chain, with flexible withdrawal options for depositors. Users deposit tokens into the staking contracts and the service manages validator delegation and reward distribution on their behalf. (Staking & Validation Services, Live)
- [B2 Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): B2 Bridge is a cross-chain bridge that transfers the native token and other assets between the primary network and additional connected blockchains. Users lock assets on the source chain and receive equivalent tokens on the destination chain through the bridge's smart contracts. It enables asset movement between the network and other supported chains for use across decentralized applications. (Bridge, Live)
- [BTC Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): BTC Bridge is a Bitcoin-focused bridge that moves Bitcoin and related assets from the Bitcoin mainnet into the network's ecosystem. Users connect a Bitcoin wallet and deposit funds, which are confirmed on Bitcoin before being credited on the destination network. The bridge is the primary entry point for bringing native Bitcoin liquidity into applications built on the network. (Bridge, Live)

## Assets

- [B2 (B2)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): B2 is the native token of B² Network, a Bitcoin Layer 2 that uses zero-knowledge proof rollups to enable EVM-compatible smart contracts. It is used to pay gas fees on the B² Hub, stake to become or delegate to validators, and access fee discounts and liquidity incentives across the rollup ecosystem. Total supply is fixed at 210,000,000 tokens, with allocations directed toward staking rewards, ecosystem incentives, and network security. (Native)
- [U2 (U2)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): U2 is a USD-pegged stablecoin issued by B² Network and collateralized by Bitcoin. It is minted at a collateral ratio of at least 150 percent and can be redeemed for BTC at any time, serving as a stable settlement asset for DeFi protocols and AI agent transactions. The protocol uses delta-neutral hedging to offset BTC volatility and captures yield from perpetual swap markets, distributing income to stakers while maintaining the peg through automated liquidation mechanisms. (Stablecoin)
- [BlockHeadz (BLOCKHEADZ)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/b_network): BLOCKHEADZ is the genesis NFT collection of B² Network, originally minted on Ethereum as an ERC-721 token. It can be bridged to Bitcoin as Ordinals NFTs for trading on marketplaces, and holders can transfer assets between Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks. The collection is evolving to integrate with B² Network's AI agents environment, moving beyond static collectibles to support dynamic features within the Bitcoin ecosystem. (NFT)
