tBTC is a Threshold Network-based bridge that mints 1:1 BTC-pegged tokens on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Starknet, and Sui, enabling native BTC to exist on those chains with 1:1 redemption back to Bitcoin. It uses a trust-minimized, rotating honest-majority threshold-signature custody model and a permissionless mint/redeem flow via the Threshold app, requiring a self-custodied BTC deposit (as little as 0.01 BTC) and redeemable 1:1 without KYC. Through a unified Bitcoin Router, tBTC provides deep DeFi liquidity, enabling swaps with stablecoins and using BTC as collateral in blue-chip markets (e.g., Aave), with a 0.2% mint/redeem fee and six-plus years of mainnet security, audited and battle-tested.
