HEYLAYER
Introduction
HeyLayer is a platform that helps Web3 leaders learn, build, and scale on the Bitcoin blockchain. HeyLayer is built on top of open-source technology developed by members of The Stacks Foundation, which includes the Stacks blockchain and Clarity programming language. The Stacks blockchain is a Layer 1 blockchain that anchors every transaction to the Bitcoin blockchain, providing a secure and decentralized foundation for building smart contract applications. The programming language used on Stacks to write smart contracts that anchor to Bitcoin is Clarity. Clarity is an expressive programming language that is easy to read and difficult to hack.

Mission

HeyLayer's mission is to use Web3 technology to do good. We believe that the decentralized and trustless nature of blockchain technology has the potential to create positive change in the world.

Problem

Web3 is fragmented with siloed communities and inoperable technologies which makes harnessing the potential of the Bitcoin blockchain complicated for the average user. This limits the speed of adoption and growth of blockchain technology.

Solution

Our three sections, Learn, Build and Scale, provides users with a set of relevant tools and resources under one roof. The Learn section allows users to choose from self-paced interactive courses or real-time live events. The Build section provides users with technology to take advantage of the power of the Bitcoin blockchain in an easy way, and the Scale section is a distributed app store where users can find integrations and partners that can solve their business problem on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin

Using the Bitcoin blockchain for smart contracts offers several advantages over other blockchain platforms. First, the Bitcoin blockchain is the most secure and decentralized blockchain in the world, providing a robust foundation for building smart contract applications. Second, the global reach of the Bitcoin network allows for smart contract applications to be used by people all around the world, regardless of geographical location. Third, the security and decentralization of the Bitcoin blockchain provide a level of trust and immutability that is not present in other blockchain platforms. Additionally, using the Bitcoin blockchain for smart contracts allows for a higher level of interoperability between different blockchain platforms, enabling the creation of cross-chain applications and services.


Stacks

The Stacks blockchain is a Layer 1 blockchain that anchors every transaction to the Bitcoin blockchain, providing a secure and decentralized foundation for building smart contract applications. The consensus mechanism used by Stacks is based on the Proof of Transfer (PoX) protocol, which allows users to earn STX tokens by holding and securely managing Bitcoin. Transactions on the Stacks blockchain are confirmed in under 15 seconds, with block times of approximately 10 minutes.  By anchoring every transaction to the Bitcoin blockchain, Stacks provides a secure and decentralized foundation for building smart contract applications on top of the most secure and decentralized blockchain in the world.

Clarity

Clarity is an expressive programming language used by the Stacks blockchain to write smart contracts. Clarity has been designed to be easy to read and understand, with a syntax that is similar to natural language. This makes it accessible to developers of all skill levels and allows for more transparent and auditable smart contracts. Clarity also includes advanced features such as formal verification, which makes it difficult to hack and ensures that contracts execute as intended. The use of Clarity in the Stacks blockchain provides a secure and transparent foundation for building smart contract applications on top of the Bitcoin blockchain.

Team

The founding team has been working on cryptocurrency and developing distributed technologies since 2018 focusing primarily on Bitcoin. The core team is Alla Koretsky, Marina Romashko and Gary Riger. Alla Koretsky (CEO), has a decade of experience working with the largest brands in the world. Marina Romashko (COO), holds a Masters in Computer Science and is a Global Business Consultant. Gary Riger (CTO) is a self-taught Software Engineer and Bitcoin Advocate (since 2016) with 10 years of business, Software Engineering and Product Management experience. Gary holds a bachelors from St. John’s University.

Conclusion

In conclusion, HeyLayer is a platform that empowers Web3 leaders to learn, build, and scale on the Bitcoin blockchain. At its core, it runs on open-source technology developed by The Stacks Foundation. The Stacks blockchain is a Layer 1 blockchain that anchors every transaction to the Bitcoin blockchain, providing a secure and decentralized foundation for building smart contract applications.  HeyLayer's vision is to use Web3 technology for good and build a thriving ecosystem for leaders on Bitcoin. With its three sections, Learn, Build and Scale, it provides users with the tools and resources they need to make the most of the Bitcoin blockchain's potential.
