# Our Solution

Bitcoin has established itself as the most secure and decentralized blockchain network in the world—but **this unmatched security comes at a steep cost**: **limited scalability**, **high transaction fees**, and **massive energy consumption**.

#### 🚧 The Problem: Security at the Cost of Scale

* Bitcoin processes **only 7 transactions per second (TPS)** on average.
* Network congestion causes **high fees** and **slow confirmation times**.
* The Bitcoin network consumes **\~438 GWh of electricity per day**, making it energy-intensive and unsustainable in the long run.

#### ⚡ The IBVM CHAIN Solution: Scaling Without Sacrifice

**IBVM CHAIN** solves these challenges through a **next-generation Layer 2 rollup solution** built on top of Bitcoin.

**How it works:**

* 💡 **Off-chain Aggregation**: Thousands of transactions are bundled and processed off-chain.
* 🧠 **ZK-Rollups**: A succinct zero-knowledge proof verifies these transactions and is posted to the Bitcoin mainnet.
* 🔐 **Layer 1 Security**: Despite happening off-chain, every transaction is ultimately secured by Bitcoin’s base layer.
* ⚙️ **BitVM Programmability**: Enables complex smart contract logic for greater adaptability and adoption.

This means **high-throughput, low-cost transactions** without compromising Bitcoin’s legendary security.

| Metric                                         | Value            |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Average BTC Network Consumption                | **438 GWh/day**  |
| Average Household Energy Use                   | **20 kWh/day**   |
| Households Powered Daily by BTC Network Energy | **21.9 million** |

Now let’s look at what **IBVM CHAIN** can achieve:

* **IBVM saves 99.5%** of energy required for processing Bitcoin transactions.
* Equivalent energy required for IBVM rollup processing: **just 2.19 GWh/day**
* That’s enough power saved to run **21.8 million households daily**!
