# Introduction The SatLayer Protocol introduces the new economy, built on Bitcoin. By making Bitcoin programmable, SatLayer transforms BTC from a passive store of value into the foundation of a global reserve asset for a new, non-USD financial system. At the center of this transformation lies the **SLAY token**. SLAY is designed to: * Boost Bitcoin’s liquidity efficiency, * Strengthen crypto-economic security, and * Empower the community to govern SatLayer’s long-term trajectory. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
