# Build a Bitcoin L2 with BVM Studio

**Bitcoin L2s** are high-performance blockchains that enable smart contracts and dapps to use Bitcoin as the secure base layer. Bitcoin L2s extend the capabilities of Bitcoin without changing Bitcoin, unlocking trillions in capital.

**BVM Studio** is a visual blockchain-building tool. Just drag and drop — no coding expertise is required.

#### Step 1: Pick your favorite building blocks <a href="#step-1-pick-your-favorite-building-blocks" id="step-1-pick-your-favorite-building-blocks"></a>

BVM partners with the best crypto projects to create a fully integrated suite of blockchain products. Need compute? Choose ZK. Need storage? Choose Avail DA. Need hardware? Choose an instance with 32 cores and 64 GB RAM.

#### Step 3: Deploy your Bitcoin L2 with just a click <a href="#step-3-deploy-your-bitcoin-l2-with-just-a-click" id="step-3-deploy-your-bitcoin-l2-with-just-a-click"></a>

Before BVM, building and scaling a blockchain required an army of PhDs, cryptographers, and distributed system engineers. Now, you can deploy one with just a click — no coding needed.
