Atomiq brings wBTC to Starknet, enabling Bitcoin DeFi

Atomiq is tackling one of Bitcoin's persistent limitations in the DeFi landscape: slow, complex cross-chain swaps plagued by slippage and trust dependencies. Through Starknet’s Layer 2 scalability, Atomiq now offers a direct, trustless mechanism to convert Bitcoin into wrapped BTC (wBTC), backed by an onchain escrow system and Bitcoin’s native proof-of-work security. With its integration into Braavos Wallet, the process becomes streamlined into a one-click yield experience, reshaping Bitcoin's usability in decentralized finance and encouraging broader participation.
