BTC Tokens from the native Bitcoin Chain and various EVM-compatible Chains can be bridged into the BounceBit ecosystem. Most notably, BTCB on Binance Smart Chain (BEP20) and WBTC on Ethereum are supported. BounceBit aims to support all sound BTC asset types.

Once transferred, these tokens are uniformly mapped and represented as BBTC within BounceBit, ensuring consistency and ease of use across the platform. Cross-chain transfer of BTC is handled by the BTC Bridge, infrastructure validated by BTC restaking.
