Avalanche Bridge
Who invented BTCB?
BTC.b launched on Avalanche in June 2022 backed by AVA Labs. BTC.b was launched to provide users a way to bridge native BTC and gain exposure to Avalanche's DeFi ecosystem.
How does BTCB work?
BTC.b is a fully asset-backed token that was created as a direct competitor to WBTC with limited counterparty risk as custody of the underlying BTC is performed in a decentralized manner through advanced cryptography. BTC.b can be used across Avalanche's DeFi ecosystem in market making and lending platforms to generate additional yield.
How secure is BTCB?
BTC.b does not have the same level of decentralization or security as BTC since it is dependant on the Avalanche bridge smart contracts and bridge design. Nonetheless, BTC.b can be minted permissionlessly through the bridge and does not have any reliance on centralized entities like WBTC.
