Overview
WBTC is a bridge protocol that converts Bitcoin into a fungible ERC-20 token, allowing BTC to be used across Ethereum-based DeFi applications. Participants can lock their BTC in exchange for WBTC tokens, which they then use within the broader ecosystem.
The protocol holds $8.9B in TVL on the Bitcoin chain alone, with no active pools or supported chains beyond this single network. The chain breakdown implies a high concentration risk centered around Bitcoin’s blockchain infrastructure.
Audit posture is light, with 1 audit reference available. WBTC maintains an official surface area, indicating ongoing development and community engagement despite its singular focus on bridging BTC to Ethereum.
