Overview

Unleashing Bitcoin’s DeFi Potential with iBTC

iBTC is a pioneering, bridgeless wrapped Bitcoin solution designed to revolutionize decentralized finance (DeFi) with institutional-grade security and liquidity. Built on Bitcoin Layer 1, iBTC eliminates traditional risks—custodians, bridges, and opaque yield models—using a 2-of-2 multisig vault system, FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold Signatures), and Chainlink Proof of Reserve (PoR). Whether you’re a developer integrating iBTC or an investor assessing its potential, this guide unlocks the technical brilliance behind Bitcoin’s DeFi future.

• Mission: Enable trust-minimized, scalable BTC-Fi across multiple chains.

• Core Innovation: Self-wrapping via multisig vaults, bypassing third-party dependencies.

• Target Audience: Institutions, developers, and retail users seeking secure yield.

Key Technical Highlights

iBTC stands out with its robust architecture. Here’s what powers it:

• Layer 1 Security: BTC is locked in 2-of-2 multisig vaults, requiring co-signatures from vetted merchants and the decentralized Attestor Network, ensuring no single point of failure.

• FROST Signatures: A threshold signature scheme optimizes transaction efficiency, reducing fees and enabling seamless signer updates without on-chain fund movements.

• Chainlink PoR: Real-time, on-chain verification guarantees every iBTC is 1:1 backed by BTC, with feeds available on Arbitrum and Base.

• Multi-Chain Support: Deployable on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and XRPL, with plans for further expansion.
