Bitcoin Collateral Vaults mainnet demo is live
Bitcoin holders can now deposit native BTC into a Bitcoin Collateral Vault on Bitcoin L1 and borrow real USDC against it on Ethereum. The demo runs on mainnet with a capped position size per wallet, so the community can use the real system ahead of production launch.
