A valuable discussion with @AleaResearch featuring Threshold Network’s Co-founder, @MacLaneWilkison, on the importance of decentralized onchain access for BTC and how tBTC repositions for the next phase of Bitcoin.
🚨 Proof of Vision #41 is now live.
For our 41st episode, our Director of Protocol Services, @0xKmack, had on @MacLaneWilkison, CEO of @TheTNetwork
Threshold Network is the decentralized custody layer behind tBTC, a permissionless wrapped Bitcoin that brings BTC safely into DeFi.
With distributed signers, seamless mint/redeem, and non-commingled institutional custody, it delivers trust-minimized Bitcoin rails across Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, Sui, Starknet, with more networks joining soon.
In this episode, we get into why centralized wrappers keep failing, how tBTC is capturing flows while others stagnate, and why bring-your-own-custody is the real unlock for institutions.
…and much more.
