LayerZero Selected as BitGo's Official Interoperability Provider for Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) Token

Crypto company BitGo has selected LayerZero (ZRO) as the digital asset custody provider’s official interoperability provider for the Wrapped Bitcoin token.

On Sept. 10, LayerZero announced that BitGo now uses LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token standard for the crypto company’s Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC). Projects that already tap into OFT are Swell, Ethena and EtherFi among others.

BitGo expands WBTC to BNB Chain and Avalanche

Together with its partners, BitGo launched Wrapped Bitcoin in 2019 with the aim to integrate Bitcoin (BTC) into the decentralized finance ecosystem on Ethereum (ETH).

Cryptocurrency holders can use WBTC to access decentralized finance applications across lending, borrowing, swapping, and other services.

BitGo’s selection of LayerZero comes as the firm expands its WBTC token, a major asset in the decentralized finance space, to two more blockchain networks — Avalanche (AVAX) and BNB Chain.

Currently, WBTC is available on Ethereum, Tron, Base, Osmosis, and other networks. The latest integrations, BNB Chain and Avalanche, rank as the fourth and seventh largest chains by total value locked respectively as seen on DeFiLlama.

Native WBTC minting

According to LayerZero, BitGo’s choice of the OFT Standard for WBTC enables the token’s native use and transfer across multiple blockchains.

Users will be able to mint WBTC natively on the supported chains without the risks involved in token bridging from Ethereum. Apart from omnichain composability, other benefits of using LayerZero for WBTC interoperability include unified supply and modular security.

As part of the collaboration with LayerZero, BitGo will implement its own decentralized verifier network, which will play a key role in ensuring that every omnichain WBTC transaction is verified. BitGo will collaborate with Polyhedra and LayerZero Labs on the DVN.
