# Core Concepts

- [DePIN & AI on Bitcoin](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/depin-and-ai-on-bitcoin.md): The potential of AI combined with DePIN is immense. By decentralizing the infrastructure that powers AI, we can democratize access to computing resources, enabling innovation at scale.
- [EVM Layer (L2)](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/evm-layer-l2.md): Zulu EVM operates as a Layer 2 solution for Bitcoin, focusing on EVM compatibility and DePIN + AI integrations, offering sophisticated DeFi applications and financial services on the Bitcoin Network.
- [DePIN Layer (L3)](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/depin-layer-l3.md): Zulu DePIN functions as Layer 3 for Bitcoin, optimized for DePIN + AI implementations, unifying UTXO and Account asset types on the Zulu Network.
- [Zulu DePIN + AI Staking](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/zulu-depin-+-ai-staking.md): Stake, Power, Earn. Power DePIN + AI implementations and earn on the Bitcoin network!
- [BitVM - Zulu](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/bitvm-zulu.md): Zulu is a recognized key contributor to BitVM, poised to launch the first trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge. BitVM sparked a true revolution on Bitcoin.
- [BitVM-ZKP-Verifier](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/bitvm-zulu/bitvm-zkp-verifier.md): The first ZKP Verify Code Implementation using Bitcoin Script, by Zulu.
- [Bridging From Bitcoin](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/bitvm-zulu/bridging-from-bitcoin.md): How to transfer assets between Bitcoin and Zulu: Pegging Mechanism and Atomic Swaps.
- [Peg IN/OUT Process](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/bitvm-zulu/bridging-from-bitcoin/peg-in-out-process.md): Trust-minimized mechanism to move assets between the Bitcoin Network and the Zulu Network.
- [Atomic Swaps](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/bitvm-zulu/bridging-from-bitcoin/atomic-swaps.md): Atomic Swaps allow users to transfer BTC assets to liquidity providers in exchange for zBTC, enabling transactions of varying asset values.
- [Verify on the Bitcoin Network](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/bitvm-zulu/verify-on-the-bitcoin-network.md): Using BitVM to verify certain state proofs on Zulu.
- [Zulu Trust-Minimized Bridge](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/bitvm-zulu/zulu-trust-minimized-bridge.md): We are excited to share our development of the Zulu Bridge. A trust-minimized decentralized peg in / peg out bridge implementation of BitVM.
- [Open Liquidity Aggregator](https://docs.zulunetwork.io/core-concepts/open-liquidity-aggregator.md): Zulu's Open Liquidity System offers a way to bring other assets and liquidity from different sources (like BTC L2s) to Zulu Network. Details subject to change, work in progress.
