Meet WBTC

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is a token that represents bitcoin on networks such as Ethereum and Solana. Each token is designed to correspond to one bitcoin held in custody. A holder can use WBTC as collateral in a lending protocol or supply it to a liquidity pool on a supported network.

The WBTC website lists contract addresses by network, so someone preparing a transfer can check which token an application accepts. It also lists exchanges that offer WBTC. The transparency dashboard lets anyone compare the published bitcoin reserves with the circulating supply and inspect records of token minting and burning.
