What is BTO?

BTO is a decentralized infrastructure protocol designed to enable the seamless integration of native Bitcoin (BTC) into the Ethereum-based DeFi ecosystem—without requiring custodians, bridges, or synthetic wrappers. It leverages Bitcoin’s unmatched security as a foundational settlement layer ("Layer Zero") and combines it with Ethereum’s programmability to create a new dimension of composable, cross-chain financial applications.

Bitcoin is often hailed as the most secure and decentralized digital asset, yet its utility in modern decentralized finance remains severely limited. BTO exists to resolve this by offering a native BTC token standard (BTCx) that is verifiably backed 1:1 by actual Bitcoin, and transferable across multiple EVM-compatible chains via LayerZero's omnichain interoperability framework.

In essence, BTO transforms Bitcoin from a passive store of value into an active, composable liquidity layer for Web3.


Vision

To redefine Bitcoin’s role in the crypto economy—from a static store of value to a dynamic, multi-chain liquidity asset that powers the next generation of decentralized finance.


Mission

To build a trustless, composable, and verifiable infrastructure layer that brings BTC into DeFi without compromising on decentralization, custody, or security—thereby unlocking Bitcoin’s full potential in the omnichain economy.
