🌉 BTC-Secured Bridges & AVS: Building a Safer Multi-Chain Future
Cross-chain infrastructure is only as strong as its weakest validator set. BounceBit tackles this head-on by securing bridges and price feeds with Bitcoin-backed stake, not just native tokens.
🔐 Here’s how it works:
– Bridges and critical oracles are guarded by validators who’ve staked both BTC and BB
– This dual-token stake is slashed if a validator submits invalid proofs or data
– In late 2025, BounceBit will launch its own Actively-Validated Service (AVS)—bringing ETH restakers from EigenLayer as external guardians
– Malicious behavior triggers a bounty: the BTC/BB bond is slashed, and ETH-staked AVS challengers are rewarded
It’s a triple-layered trust model:
Bitcoin for economic security
BB for protocol alignment
ETH via EigenLayer for external validation
With testnet planned for Q4 2025, BounceBit is not just securing assets—it’s exporting security to any dApp or chain that needs verifiable compute, price feeds, or bridges.
This isn't just about being multi-chain. It’s about being safe across chains.
