What is Wrapped Bitcoin?
WBTC stands for Wrapped Bitcoin and is simply an ERC-20 token that represents Bitcoin. One WBTC equals one BTC. One BTC can be converted into WBTC and vice versa. The ERC20 token makes WBTC transfers faster than regular bitcoin, but the key advantage of WBTC is its integration into the world of Ethereum wallets, decentralized applications and smart contracts.
Wrapped Bitcoin was launched on the Ethereum core network in January 2019. Wrapped Bitcoin was introduced to the world as a joint project between major players in the DeFi ecosystem such as BitGo, Ren, Dharma, Kyber, Compound, MakerDAO and Set Protocol, in an effort to bring more liquidity to the Ethereum network by dipping into bitcoin. The project is currently controlled by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) called the WBTC DAO.
