Interlay
Interlay is a Bitcoin DeFi protocol that bridges BTC to Polkadot and other chains as iBTC and lets users swap, borrow, and lend against it.
What is Interlay?
Interlay helps Bitcoin holders use BTC across DeFi through a trustless bridge that locks native BTC with overcollateralized vaults to mint iBTC, a 1:1 BTC-backed token redeemable for native Bitcoin. Through the Interlay DeFi Hub, users can swap, borrow, and lend iBTC and bridge assets across supported networks. The protocol is a Polkadot parachain governed by INTR token holders.
