Yala Protocol is a framework designed to enable Bitcoin's asset programmability and DeFi infrastructure. It addresses Bitcoin's scripting limitations and scalability through a modular architecture with application, consensus, data availability, execution, and settlement layers. This preserves Bitcoin's security while enabling complex transactions.

The protocol integrates over-collateralized BTC-backed assets and atomic swaps for cross-chain interoperability. This transforms Bitcoin from a store of value into a foundation for sophisticated financial applications and yield-generating opportunities.
