Protocol TVL
About iBTC Finance
iBTC is an LST protocol that provides 1:1 pegging for staked BTC, offering users unrestricted liquidity without a 28-day lock-up while ensuring the same yield as directly staking BTC on the exSat network. The protocol seamlessly combines high liquidity with stable staking rewards, making it an ideal solution for optimizing BTC staking returns
