StakeLayer introduces a Mixed PoS Mechanism that allows Bitcoin to be staked as a security measure for network operations. This mechanism not only diversifies the security model of participating networks but also adds a valuable layer of utility for Bitcoin holders, enabling them to contribute to network security and earn rewards.
