CoinList launched staking for the Threshold Network, a leading data encryption protocol, that will allow CoinList users to stake their T tokens and participate in the network’s consensus.

The second iteration of tBTC is expected to require stakers to only lock up Keep rather than both Keep and ETH, alongside introducing changes to its wallet-generation mechanism. The protocol allows users to tokenize their Bitcoin for use on the Ethereum network.

Two encryption projects, Keep and NuCypher, both running on the Ethereum blockchain, have begun discussing what they are calling a “hard merge,” codename: Keanu. Crucially, this would be a merger of their protocols’ functions and communities, not of their companies.

Development teams for Keep Protocol and NuCypher are proposing an on-chain merger in a network first for Ethereum.

Users can now mint tBTC, a decentralized version of Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain, right on the CoinList exchange.

These DeFi applications offer an increasingly large array of potential use cases for bitcoin investors looking for alternative ways to issue loans or make trades on new exchange platforms.

Nexus Mutual has announced a new staking feature called “shield mining” to incentivize smart contract cover, starting with Keep Network.

tBTC is an ERC-20 token that allows Bitcoin to be securely on Ethereum as as tBTC. Unlike WBTC, tBTC allows users to trustlessly go to and from the bridge without having to use a centralized custodian.

A decentralized way to copy bitcoin (BTC) over to Ethereum relaunches today. Called tBTC, the Thesis-built protocol was first announced in April, and is now ready for a fresh start.

Thesis CEO Matt Luongo says the launch of tBTC is an opportunity to unite two disparate tribes, and galvanize an emerging DeFi market.
