frBTC Overview
Interoperable Wrapped BTC of Bitcoin L1
frBTC is the Bitcoin DeFi-compatible asset pegged 1:1 to BTC and interoperable across every DeFi ecosystem on Bitcoin L1.
This is achieved through a trust-minimized process that locks BTC on the Bitcoin mainnet (Layer-1) and atomically mints a corresponding amount of frBTC for the user.
How can I use frBTC?
SUBFROST has launched frBTC on mainnet through partner integrations, like the OYL AMM, iDclub, Ordiscan, and Satonomy, on Alkanes.
Additionally, frBTC is live on BRC2.0 Signet and can be found in the Best In Slot AMM, enabling instant swaps with solana-like speed.
Users can perform a single signing process to enter advanced DeFi apps on Bitcoin L1 with native BTC, completely abstracting-away the need to wrap their BTC first.
The example below illustrates a user swapping native BTC to a USD stablecoin (or other token), atomically, in a decentralized, permissionless manner.
frBTC is live on Alkanes mainnet, BRC2.0 signet, and we have already begun building it into the Arch Network.
