About Avalanche Bridged Bitcoin
Avalanche, a decentralized blockchain platform launched in September 2020, introduced native Bitcoin support through its Avalanche Bridge in June 2022. This integration allows Bitcoin holders to transfer their assets onto the Avalanche network, enabling participation in its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The bridging process involves converting Bitcoin into an ERC-20 token known as BTC.b, which is fully backed by the original Bitcoin locked within the bridge's secure enclave. (medium.com)
