@TheTNetwork
, tBTC has proven to be a scalable and decentralized solution in a market full of compromises.
Over our 4 year history, we have bridged 8k+ BTC, valued at over $480M today.
The successful evolution of tBTC from v1 to v2 underlines our commitment to building the most robust decentralized bitcoin bridge.
Protocols that rush their development or use under-engineered solutions will struggle to compete with well-designed, time-tested systems like tBTC.
tBTC's v2 approach shifts from simple overcollateralized models to a trust-minimized mechanism using
@TheTNetwork
's governance token, $T.
This change allows tBTC to scale effectively, meeting user demand without the limits imposed by traditional wrapping models.
