Imagine being able to access the breadth of DeFi services just from a Bitcoin wallet through a sidechain; this could fundamentally redefine how users examine crypto and DeFi.
After all, most of the DeFi value is already denominated in Bitcoin: there are more than 250,000 wBTC, 15,600 RENBTC on Ethereum 2,600 rBTC (Rootstock) and 3,300 L-BTC (Liquid network). At current prices, the Bitcoin peg-ins are worth around 13 billion dollar.
This is all the more important when you consider the fact that many services are migrating away from Ethereum due to its unsustainably high gas fees. Just look at the increased engagement on Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Solana, Cardano, and other smart contract networks — developers and users alike are heading in this direction because they want more sustainable…
