The first truly non-custodial and highly decentralized Bitcoin bridge
0xBridge is a non-custodial Bitcoin bridge, built by a founder-led project and developed through the Techstars Web3 accelerator, that moves bitcoin onto Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks without surrendering custody. Users lock bitcoin and receive a 1:1 pegged token on the destination chain, issued as eBTC. Peg security rests on a decentralized verifier network built on EigenLayer with Kernel restaking, designed for censorship-resistant minting.
The service displaces custodial wrapped-bitcoin alternatives, in which an intermediary holds the underlying bitcoin and mints redeemable claims against it. Its differentiation sits on a mechanism axis: peg integrity enforced by a decentralized verifier set rather than centralized bridge custody, with minting kept non-custodial and censorship-resistant. Buyers are bitcoin holders seeking on-chain DeFi exposure across chains while keeping self-custody of their assets.
