Starknet Launches strkBTC, a Privacy-Enabled Bitcoin Wrapper Built on STRK20
The token is backed 1:1 by BTC locked on the Bitcoin base layer and redeemable at any time. STRK20 lets users toggle between a public mode, which behaves like any other ERC20 on Starknet, and a shielded mode, which hides balances and transfer amounts using zero-knowledge proofs. Users can move between the two states from within their wallet, with Xverse and Ready among the first wallets to support the asset.
