# B² Network

> Unlocking Bitcoin's second growth curve

B² Network lets users build and use Bitcoin-backed apps with an EVM-compatible Layer 2 and AI-focused infrastructure.

B² Network helps developers build Bitcoin-backed applications by combining an EVM-compatible Layer 2 with a modular hub, AI Signal for agent workflows, and a BTC-collateralized stablecoin. Users can bridge assets, stake B2, and access mining and DeFi tools through the ecosystem. The platform focuses on low-cost transactions and verifiable, on-chain interactions.

## 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 transaction fees, stake to operate or delegate to sequencers, and fund ecosystem incentives such as liquidity mining programs. The network uses zero-knowledge proofs to batch transactions and settle them on Bitcoin, allowing developers to deploy Ethereum-style applications while inheriting Bitcoin's 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 used to mint at a collateral ratio of at least 150% 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)
