Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is a transformative innovation within the Ethereum ecosystem, functioning as an ERC20 token that mirrors the value of Bitcoin (BTC). Established through a collaboration between Kyber Network, BitGo, and Republic Protocol, WBTC represents a blend of Bitcoin's value with Ethereum's versatile smart contract capabilities. The unique approach of WBTC lies in its multi-institutional framework, which ensures transparency and trust by publicly recording proof of Bitcoin reserves backing each token. This melding of Bitcoin's market dominance with Ethereum's technological framework creates a Decentralised solution that maintains the stability and value of Bitcoin while expanding usability within Ethereum's flourishing landscape of Decentralised Applications (dApps).
