Summary
tBTC is a trust-minimized BTC bridge, built by Thesis and powered by the Threshold Network, that has been live since April 27th, 2020.
With tBTC:
- Your BTC is not custodied by a few companies but a decentralized network.
- Anyone can mint or redeem tBTC: it’s completely permissionless.
- The entire bridging process can be observed in real-time to see the flow of funds (at tbtcscan)
Today, tBTC is the only long-term scalable and decentralized bitcoin bridge, which is why Mezo uses tBTC as its foundation.
