Development Guide

Build Seamlessly on the IBVM Chain

Welcome to the official development guide for IBVM — the next-generation Layer 2 scaling solution built on Bitcoin with full EVM compatibility. Whether you’re a developer building DeFi protocols, tokenized assets, NFT projects, or utility-based smart contracts, IBVM offers a secure, high-speed, and low-cost environment to innovate.

⚙️ Why Build on IBVM?
