About BOB: A Gateway to Bitcoin DeFi

BOB positions itself as a major infrastructure project focused on unlocking real Bitcoin utility within DeFi. Marketed as the “Gateway to Bitcoin DeFi,” BOB combines Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s programmability to create a comprehensive hub for Bitcoin liquidity, applications, and institutional adoption.

At the technical level, BOB operates as a hybrid chain leveraging:

• Zero-knowledge proofs
• Bitcoin staking
• Native bridging technologies connecting Ethereum and Bitcoin (via BitVM)

This architecture enables secure, trust-minimized interoperability across ecosystems. BOB’s multichain gateway allows users to swap Bitcoin for a wide range of digital assets. They can also deposit BTC directly into DeFi protocols across 11+ blockchains
