What is Bitway?
Bitway (BTW) is a Bitcoin-compatible Layer 1 blockchain and financial infrastructure project that aims to serve as a “gateway for online capital,” connecting idle on-chain liquidity with institutional-grade yields and financial products.
The idea is simple: vast amounts of Bitcoin sit idle in wallets, earning no interest. Bitway aims to put them to work.
The project describes itself as a DeTraFi model—a blend of decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi)—with the goal of providing a single access point for saving, borrowing, and investing.
2. Technology and Architecture
• Bitcoin-compatible Layer 1: Uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, but is designed to understand Bitcoin natively.
• Native BTC support: Supports SegWit and Taproot addresses, so users can transact with real Bitcoin without needing Wrapped BTC or bridges that hold their assets with a third party.
• Core ecosystem products:
1. Bitway Ledger: The base chain
2. Bitway Earn: On-chain yield vaults and wealth management
3. Bitway Lending: BTC-backed loans
3. BTW Tokenomics
The BTW token is the beating heart of the network. #BTW
