iBTC
Safer Wrapped Bitcoin
What is iBTC?
iBTC is a non-custodial representation of Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain.
How Does It Work?
Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) ensure only depositors can access locked Bitcoin, without third-party custody risks.
Why is It Safer?
With iBTC, the DLC lockbox only pays out to the depositor. If hacked, only the original depositor can receive the BTC deposit.
