The reason for vBTC’s existence
Bitcoin (BTC), the first decentralized cryptocurrency, is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its ability to store value and limited supply. With its divisibility down to 0.00000001 BTC (1 Satoshi), Bitcoin provides a more efficient and competitive asset accumulation solution compared to gold with its decentralization, transparency, high security, liquidity, and anonymity.
To leverage Bitcoin’s outstanding advantages, vBTC enables users to own Bitcoin in flexible amounts, regardless of their investment size. Even with a small BTC balance, users can still benefit from the security, transparency, high liquidity, and scarcity of Bitcoin through vBTC’s structured format.
vBTC makes digital asset accumulation in the modern era more accessible than ever. The protocol operates across two environments to balance accessibility, speed, and decentralization:
Off-Chain: Managed centrally on Nami Exchange, this environment is optimized for speed and user convenience. It lowers entry barriers and enhances accessibility for users seeking to acquire and manage vBTC efficiently.
On-Chain: Deployed on BNB Chain following the BEP-20 token standard, the on-chain implementation offers decentralization, transparency, and seamless interoperability with DeFi applications within the broader Web3 ecosystem.
