With the Halving coming up more users are looking for ways to get exposure to Bitcoin on-chain. On Moonbeam, users have a few stellar options: 👉 wBTC - Wrapped BTC 👉 iBTC - @InterlayHQ BTC Here’s what you need to know about each ⤵️

2/5 Why are these two assets important? Bitcoin is not an ERC20 🙅‍♂️ Thanks to Bitcoin assets like wBTC and iBTC, trading volume that would typically only occur on centralized exchanges (CEXs) can now happen on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) too. That includes Moonbeam DEXs 🌝

🗣️ Runtime Update: RT2800 is now live on Moonbeam! RT2800 is the second of three phases before asynchronous backing can be enabled on Moonbeam mainnet.

With async backing enabled Moonbeam block times will speed up from 12s to 6s. This update will also inherently increase transaction throughput 2x in the process 🤯 📚 Learn more by reading the discussion in our forums 👇 https://t.co/hNldbT2SbG

So, what's DED? $DED is a cross-chain memecoin in the Polkadot ecosystem. By registering DED as an xc20 (xcDED) it can be deployed on Moonbeam and other Polkadot parachains or EVM networks in an ERC-20 format. 🗳️ xcDED on-chain Proposal: https://t.co/Rdjfi6V8sj https://t.co/BGnMeSaZks
