brBTC is a liquid restaking token (LRT) that allows Bitcoin holders to deposit various Bitcoin derivatives and earn rewards through advanced restaking protocols.
With the introduction of brBTC, Bitcoin is transitioning from BTCFi 1.0 to BTCFi 2.0, addressing challenges faced by Bitcoin in DeFi.
brBTC creates a unified ecosystem by integrating Bitcoin across multiple DeFi platforms.
It accepts a wide range of BTC derivative assets and optimizes collateral allocations across staking protocols to provide competitive yields.
brBTC offers enhanced yield-generation strategies through advanced restaking protocols and partnerships with Thena and MEV Capital.
brBTC has real-world applications, bridging the gap between digital assets and traditional financial utilities.
It can be used as collateral in financial products, facilitate microtransactions, and support various financial needs.
Bedrock's vision for BTCFi 2.0 emphasizes collaboration within the DeFi ecosystem to address challenges like liquidity fragmentation and limited staking opportunities.
