Introduction to oBTC
Bitcoin is the foundation of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, celebrated for its unparalleled security and decentralisation. Yet, its full potential remains untapped, confined largely to its role as a store of value. oBTC, or Omnichain Bitcoin, is the next evolution in Bitcoin’s journey—transforming it into a fully interoperable asset capable of driving innovation across decentralised finance (DeFi) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) ecosystems.
What is oBTC?
oBTC is a liquid staking token (LST) that represents Bitcoin securely locked on its native blockchain and made available for use across multiple decentralised networks. Designed to unlock Bitcoin’s economic potential, oBTC enables holders to actively participate in PoS staking, DeFi protocols, and other decentralised applications without relinquishing their underlying Bitcoin.
oBTC embodies the principles of transparency, security, and decentralisation, ensuring that every token is verifiably backed by Bitcoin while delivering seamless cross-chain functionality.
