What is WBTC?
Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum backed 1:1 by native BTC held in custody.
wBTC brings Bitcoin's value into Ethereum, letting holders use BTC as collateral, liquidity, and yield-bearing capital in DeFi protocols.
wBTC is minted and burned by custodians and merchants, with BTC reserves verifiable on-chain; it runs on Ethereum's Proof of Stake network.
wBTC is the most widely used form of Bitcoin in DeFi, integrated into major lending markets, DEXs, and yield strategies across Ethereum.
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a decentralized smart contract platform, home to the majority of DeFi protocols, stablecoins, and tokenized assets.
Its native token, ETH, is used for gas fees, staking, and as core collateral throughout the ecosystem.
Ethereum uses Proof of Stake with hundreds of thousands of validators, and scales through Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum that inherit its security.
Ethereum hosts the deepest liquidity and most battle-tested applications in crypto, making it the default settlement layer for on-chain finance.
