Bitcoin empowerment should be asset-driven
BounceBit’s innovative framework revolves around the idea that Bitcoin empowerment should be mostly asset-driven without alterations to the Bitcoin blockchain.
BounceBit seamlessly merges the best features of CeFi (centralized finance) and the ones of DeFi (decentralized finance) in order to unlock new opportunities for Bitcoin while, at the same time, providing enhanced yield generation and apps.
This will be done via strategies that include funding rate arbitrage and the issuance of on-chain certificates for re-staking and mining.
Yi He, Binance‘s co-founder and head of Binance Labs highlights that BounceBit is unlocking new adventures for Bitcoin’s use via the fusion of CeFi and DeFi.
He says that Binance Labs seeks continuous innovators shaping the industry, and they are always looking forward to watching their growth, while they achieve the mission to empower Bitcoin with secure and transparent CeDeFi solutions.
BounceBit’s leadership is based on experience across DeFi, traditional finance, and Layer-1 blockchain technology. They prioritize security and transparency by using regulated custody and Multi-Party Computation (MPC).
Together with Ceffu’s Mirror X and off-exchange settlement (QES) solutions that bring counterparty risks to a minimum, BounceBit promises to develop a secure environment for Bitcoin engagement in yield-generating activities.
Ceffu offers institutional clients a secure environment to store digital currencies, leveraging best-in-class security, processes, and technology solutions from the world’s largest digital asset platform provider.
MirrorX allows Binance Institutional users to mirror their assets instantaneously from Ceffu to Binance.
Unique PoS Layer 1 ecosystem
One of the most important innovations brought by BounceBit is its unique PoS Layer 1 ecosystem. This incentivizes validators to stake BounceBit tokens and Bitcoin – this creates a dual-token system that fortifies the network security, while amplifying Bitcoin’s value and utility by network involvement.
This system leverages the native Bitcoin security with full EVM compatibility.
One of the main targets of BounceBit is to enhance security and operation network efficiency.
Jack Lu, Founder & CEO of BounceBit, highlighted the importance of building restaking infrastructure that drives Bitcoin’s utilization in the most secure and transparent manner.
