BitSmiley secures new funding to accelerate Bitcoin stablecoin project advancement

Recently, a project focused on the Bitcoin financial ecosystem secured a new round of funding amounting to $10 million, aimed at advancing its Bitcoin stablecoin bitUSD. What exactly does this BTCFi stablecoin project, affectionately referred to as "smiley face," hope to achieve? What is its core technical framework? Why is the BTCFi market receiving widespread attention? Let's delve deeper into this.

The Three Core Components of BitSmiley

BitSmiley draws on the successful experience of the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem, integrating functions similar to MakerDAO and Compound, and has launched three main components:

  1. bitUSD: This is an over-collateralized stablecoin protocol, similar to DAI. Users can deposit Bitcoin into BitSmiley to mint bitUSD. The protocol adopts the bitRC20 standard, ensuring high transparency, and collaborates with a cross-chain platform to achieve full-chain circulation.

  2. bitLending: This is a native trustless lending protocol. It uses peer-to-peer atomic swap technology to facilitate transaction matching, while introducing an insurance system to optimize the clearing process in traditional lending.

  3. Credit Default Swap ( CDS ): This is an innovative derivative agreement. It integrates the functionality of NFT slicing CDS and uses an aggregated bidding method to enhance the efficiency and fairness of the CDS market.

Core Technology Highlights

There are two core technology points worth noting in the technical framework of BitSmiley:

  1. Native Cross-Chain Technology: BitSmiley collaborates with a POS blockchain based on the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint PBFT consensus engine to achieve native cross-chain. This technology can effectively track and manage UTXOs on the Bitcoin network, enabling secure cross-chain operations. Furthermore, this full-chain smart contract technology also allows for the transparent management of assets across the entire chain.

  2. bitRC20 Standard: This standard draws on the concept of Bitcoin inscriptions and issues assets on the Bitcoin mainnet. When users collateralize BTC, they first bridge the assets through the official channel. After verification, the system sends a minting instruction for bitUSD to the Bitcoin mainnet. Unlike traditional BRC20, bitRC20 adds Mint and Burn operations to meet the demand for dynamic adjustment of stablecoin supply.

The Attractiveness of the BTCFi Market

The BTCFi market has attracted widespread attention for two main reasons:

  1. Huge market potential: Currently, the total locked value of the BTC network only accounts for 0.14% of its total market capitalization, leaving a growth potential of 50-100 times compared to other networks. Moreover, potential sources of funds are not limited to on-chain, but also include off-chain demand behind BTC+ETH ETF funds.

  2. Strategic Position: Mastering core applications such as stablecoins, lending, and derivatives of BTC assets will be able to influence the DeFi model of the entire blockchain environment. This not only revitalizes the existing market but can also lead a new wave of innovation.

As more projects and capital enter the BTCFi space, we have reason to expect that this market will see more innovation and development in the future.

Just another paper project. Given the fragility of the existing settlement model, the game equilibrium is doomed to fail.
