Bitcoin holds over two point three trillion dollars in market value, yet most of it remains idle, excluded from the decentralized finance systems it inspired.
@TheTNetwork is changing that with @tBTC_project, a decentralized bridge that allows native BTC to move freely across DeFi.
No custodians. No wrapped IOUs. No compromises.
tBTC enforces a strict one to one BTC-backed model, unlike centralized wrapped Bitcoin solutions that depend on trust and solvency.
This preserves Bitcoin’s sovereignty and censorship resistance while unlocking real utility in DeFi.
The protocol is live across seven major chains including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Sui, Optimism, Starknet, and Base.
Each transaction reinforces a self-sustaining flywheel:
✦ Redemption fees of 0.2 percent flow into Threshold’s treasury
✦ Revenue funds $T token buybacks instead of inflationary rewards
✦ DAO costs are reduced by 60 percent, improving efficiency
✦ Over 35,000 BTC worth approximately three point eight billion dollars have been settled
Threshold is not simply providing infrastructure.
It addresses a critical gap in multi chain finance.
Many bridges prioritize convenience at the cost of security or decentralization.
tBTC balances these factors, creating a system that grows safely while incentivizing participation.
As Bitcoin decentralized finance (BTCfi) expands, networks like tBTC could shift liquidity dominance and anchor DeFi.
This could redefine how base layer money interacts across chains, creating practical opportunities for developers, traders, and institutions alike.
Bitcoin integration with DeFi is inevitable.
The question is who will define the standard.
With tBTC, Threshold is setting it.
If it succeeds, Bitcoin will not just participate in DeFi.
It will define what decentralized liquidity looks like across every major chain.
