When I met the BOB team in South Korea, I asked them if the BOB cross-chain bridge could be improved, not limited to connections between BOB networks, as the BTC ecosystem might be lacking a cross-chain bridge that belongs to multiple chains. The BOB Gateway has been launched, and it resembles a multi-chain BTC gateway/bridging system, rather than just a traditional cross-chain bridge. 1️⃣ Common features of cross-chain bridges - Allow assets to be transferred between different blockchains - Usually involves a locking + minting mechanism (e.g., lock BTC, mint wBTC on the target chain) 2️⃣ Features of BOB Gateway - Supports native BTC ↔ wBTC.OFT one-click transfers: users do not need to operate complex bridging processes themselves - Covers 11 mainstream chains + nearly 15,000 dApps: provides SDK for one-click access to native BTC - Safe and reliable: wBTC.OFT is custodied by BitGo, based on LayerZero OFT standards, making cross-chain operations trustworthy - More like a gateway rather than just a bridge: not only facilitates cross-chain transfers but also makes BTC directly usable in multi-chain DeFi, providing convenience for multi-chain access and one-click operations Essentially, the BOB Gateway has cross-chain bridge functionality, but it is more like a native BTC multi-chain access gateway, simplifying operations for users and developers, and enhancing liquidity and efficiency in cross-chain DeFi.
At BOB Gateway, we have prepared a rich experience for every user.
