New expansion to Nomic is the first step to building a decentralized onramp for moving Bitcoin onto new blockchain networks

GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Nomic DAO Foundation announced today the launch of Ethereum support on Nomic’s decentralized custody engine for Bitcoin. This will enable seamless BTC on-and-off-ramping into Ethereum, bringing Bitcoin to the largest ecosystem in decentralized finance (DeFi). Starting with a testnet released today, Nomic will facilitate native Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals on Ethereum, without relying on centralized custodians.

Traditionally, to use BTC on Ethereum, users have had to obtain wrapped bitcoin (WBTC), an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain that is pegged to real Bitcoin. Each WBTC is backed 1:1 with Bitcoin, which is held in reserve by a centralized custodian. Recently, amid centralization concerns with custodians holding all the keys to the multisig for WBTC worth $9.2 billion, the broader DeFi community has pushed for users to consider new decentralized alternatives.

“Bitcoin is the highest-value crypto asset, and Ethereum is the highest-value DeFi ecosystem. I’m excited to see Nomic bring its products to Ethereum, including the native and decentralized nBTC asset, and seamless one-step BTC deposits,” said Matt Bell, CEO of Turbofish, Nomic’s founders and core contributors. “It’s time to move beyond the current centralized and clunky BTC-on-Ethereum offerings, and start truly bringing Bitcoin into DeFi.”

In addition to bringing Bitcoin into Ethereum through nBTC, this upgrade introduces a new framework for protocols to leverage Nomic’s decentralized custody engine. Previously, to build Bitcoin DeFi solutions, protocol developers had to rely on centralized MPC providers or basic multisig setups to hold BTC, which presented trust and decentralization challenges. Now, with Nomic’s decentralized custody engine, protocols can easily create Bitcoin-backed assets at a lower cost, providing a trust-minimized solution to accelerate Bitcoin DeFi growth on Ethereum and other EVM chains.

This upgrade also paves the way for future bridging to other EVM-based chains, expanding the reach and utility of nBTC across ecosystems that represent more than $46 billion in total value locked (TVL).

 MultiversX (EGLD), the leading internet scale blockchain known for its sharding technology, announced its support to the Helios Collabathon conducted by Helios Staking, to redefine product building through an effort of collaboration over competition. Jointly supported by the MultiversX Foundation, Hatom, XOXNO, and the Injective Foundation, the first-of-its-kind Collabathon brought together 14 top-level Web3 builders from across the world with skills ranging from coding to marketing and business development, to solve pressing industry challenges related to singular user identity across multiple blockchains.

With a background in building 11 different companies and winning 15 hackathons, the Collabathon’s participants deployed a fully-functioning MVP of Helios Connect in 8 days, with a clean interface and Smart Contracts deployed on mainnet on both the Injective and MultiversX blockchains. Simultaneously, all content and related documentation were posted to ensure the product has visibility and is usable afterwards, resulting in Helios Connect acquiring active users already.

As a fully open-source product, Helios Connect is a groundbreaking cross-chain wallet verification and identity dApp, allowing users to create a singular, unified identity across multiple blockchains, addressing a significant challenge of User Fragmentation in the decentralized ecosystem. By simplifying and securing identity management, Helios Connect is poised to become a building block for a plethora of applications that strengthen connections between different ecosystems.

Alongside building the product, the Collabathon hosted networking events and four workshops, hosted by Robert Sasu (Core developer of MultiversX), Joan (Product Manager of Injective Labs), Alex Radu (CEO of Astrarizon), and Sergi & Jose (Founders of Moonlorian).

We are looking forward to developing the concept further and pushing the boundaries of what is currently thought possible.”
