According to Foresight News, Tezos, a proof-of-stake blockchain, has announced the launch of tzBTC 2.0. This version is an improved iteration of tzBTC, with a key innovation being the use of the Acurast execution environment to automate the minting and burning processes. The Tezos Foundation will subsidize a fixed annual fee, allowing Gatekeepers to mint and burn for free. This move aims to address the limitation of the original tzBTC version, where minting and burning were restricted to a few large organizations.
