Embrace the Real Magic of tBTC!
WHY does True Decentralization Matter?
Empowering Users with Transparency and Security
Decentralization isnʼt just a buzzword—itʼs the backbone of a secure and transparent digital future. tBTC champions this ethos by providing a truly decentralized Bitcoin bridge to Ethereum, ensuring that there are no custodians, only verifiable, direct control of your assets. This is the essence of blockchainʼs promise: security, transparency, and true ownership without compromise. Understand why settling for anything less could mean risking the foundational benefits of blockchain technology.
- No Custodians: Direct control over your assets without intermediaries holding your Bitcoin.
- Enhanced Security: With no central point of control, decentralized networks greatly reduce risks and vulnerabilities.
- True Ownership: tBTC ensures your Bitcoin remains yours —fully controlled and verifiable on the blockchain, no hidden hands.
- Trust Minimized: By eliminating centralized authorities, tBTC places your trust in a fully auditable and transparent technology.
- Innovation Freedom: A genuinely decentralized environment promotes unrestricted innovation, free from the limitations imposed by custodial entities.
- Long-Term Viability: Decentralization ensures the network’s resilience and adaptability, free from influence by any central authority.

<=== SWIPE FOR FULL TABLE ===>
| tBTC | wBTC | Bitcoin | |
| Decentralization | Trust-Minimized | Centralized Custodians | Fully Decentralized |
| Chain Compatibility | Ethereum + Multiple L2s | Ethereum Network | Bitcoin Network |
| Transaction Speed | Fast (within minutes on Ethereum for 3 confir mations) | Fast (within minutes on Ethereum for 3 confir mations) | 10 minutes (average for 3 confirmations) |
| Average Fees | Lower (benefits from L2 scaling solutions) | Moderate (dependent on Ethereum gas fees) | High (varies significantly with network congestion) |
| Censorship Resistance | High | Moderate (depends on custodian practices) | High |
| Redeemability | Direct and easy (facilitated by smart contracts on Ethereum and the T-Network) | Restricted (requires going through custodians) | Direct (on-chain, high fees in DeFi contexts) |
In the dynamic realm of cryptocurrencies, understanding the distinctions between different types of Bitcoin on Ethereum is critical. tBTC merges the security and resilience of Bitcoin with the adaptability and utility of Ethereum, adding the expansive possibilities of L2 solutions without compromising on central tenets like censorship resistance and easy redeemability. It’s not just about deploying Bitcoin in DeFi; itʼs about retaining the foundational values of decentralization and autonomy that are essential to Bitcoinʼs ethos.
