aBTC – Bitcoin‑backed token powering Aptos DeFi yield, staking, and fast BTC trading

aBTC Technologies Overview

Fast Finality

Move VM confirms aBTC transfers in seconds, far quicker than Bitcoin L1.

Cross‑Chain Bridge

B² Network locks BTC and issues aBTC 1:1, enabling seamless transfers back and forth.

High Scalability

Aptos throughput supports thousands of aBTC transactions per second with low gas fees.

Audited Contracts

MoveBit audits covered bridge and lending code, with all major findings fixed before launch.

Decentralized Storage

Validator network stores proofs and signatures, reducing single‑point custody risk.

Funding

Echo Protocol closed an October 2024 pre‑seed led by Spartan Group with backing from Aptos Labs, Maelstrom, Selini Capital, ABCDE Capital, and others. No aBTC tokens were sold; minting only occurs when users bridge real BTC.

Multi‑Chain Expansion

2026: extend aBTC liquidity to other Move VM networks and selected EVM Layer‑2s.
