In the traditional world, many people buy Bitcoin (BTC) and simply let it sit in a wallet — much like keeping gold in a safe. It’s valuable, but it doesn’t do anything. BounceBit is here to change that by creating a way for your BTC to work for you, generate income, and still stay safe.

By combining Centralized Finance (CeFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) — an approach referred to as CeDeFi — BounceBit provides BTC owners with various means of generating yield while retaining security and flexibility.

What Is BounceBit?

Imagine having a turbo-charged bank for your Bitcoin, but it's not owned by a single corporation. Rather, it leverages blockchain technology to provide transparency, security, and flexibility.

BounceBit is a BTC restaking chain — a blockchain designed to allow holders of Bitcoin to engage with staking, governance, and decentralized applications while continuing to earn yield. By using its CeDeFi platform, it marries the safety of regulated custodians (CeFi) with the creativity of blockchain-based finance (DeFi).

Mission: Bringing Wall Street-Level Opportunities to Everyone

Back then, sophisticated investment strategies in Bitcoin — such as funding rate arbitrage or intricate yield farming — were only open to hedge funds and top-level asset managers.

BounceBit's goal is to level the playing field in terms of these opportunities so that anyone who holds BTC can now take part, whether you have 0.01 BTC or hundreds. As food delivery apps made restaurant food accessible to everyone's doorstep, BounceBit is making high-return BTC opportunities available directly to the average crypto holder.

Value Proposition: Making Bitcoin Work Harder Without Changing Bitcoin

BounceBit does not attempt to modify the Bitcoin blockchain itself. Rather, it functions as a "side service" to enclose your BTC in a token named bounceBTC (BBTC) and get it working.

Suppose you own a gold bar (BTC). You place it in a certified vault (regulated custody) and get a gold certificate (BBTC). You can now use that certificate in other marketplaces to earn interest, trade, or stake — without ever moving your original gold bar out of the vault.

This model enables Bitcoin to:

Earn interest from arbitrage tactics.

Be staked to assist in securing other blockchain networks.

Be utilized in DeFi protocols for additional rewards.

Main Points of BounceBit

1. BTC Restaking Infrastructure

When you send BTC to BounceBit, it's protected by reliable custodians such as Ceffu, Mainnet Digital, and Fireblocks. You're rewarded with BBTC, which you can assign to node operators and redeem a voucher token stBTC.

You may then restake the stBTC to other chains like sidechains, bridges, or oracles — earning additional rewards.

Daily-life analogy: It's similar to putting your money in a bank, getting a CD (certificate of deposit), and then investing the CD somewhere else while still making interest on the money from the bank.

2. Dual-Token Proof of Stake (PoS)

BounceBit employs a dual-token PoS where network operators (validators) can use either BBTC or the natively issued BB token on the platform for staking.

Daily-life analogy: Imagine it as a toll booth that takes cash or digital payments — easier for more people to join and secure the network.

3. BounceClub – DeFi Without Coding

BounceClub is a "drag-and-drop" website builder, but for DeFi applications. Customers can build financial tools and apps based on pre-built widgets from the BounceBit App Store — no coding needed.

4. Liquid Custody – Safeguard Assets but Continue to Utilize Them

By placing assets in BounceBit, you receive a Liquid Custody Token (LCT) for the assets held safely in custody.

Daily-life analogy: You place your car in a storage warehouse but receive a "car token" that allows you to rent it out or lend it virtually without moving the car.

This system even facilitates off-exchange settlement in delta-neutral funding rate arbitrage — a low-risk trading mechanism.

Token Utility: What BB Can Do

BB is the natively-issued fuel of the BounceBit ecosystem and is utilized in a variety of ways:

Staking: Engage with the network's dual-token staking mechanism.

Protocol Incentives: Receive BB as incentives for validating the network.

Gas Fees: Pay transaction and smart contract fees in $BB.

Governance: Vote on upgrades, fees, and other proposals.

Currency: Utilize BB as a means of exchange in BounceBit's ecosystem.

Fundraising & Token Supply

BounceBit has raised $7.98M USD from the last funding round.

Total Supply: 2,100,000,000 $BB

Listing Circulating Supply: 409,500,000 BB (19.5% of total supply).

Why BounceBit Matters

In the modern crypto economy, merely keeping BTC does not create passive income. BounceBit makes this possible — safely unlocking multiple streams of income for Bitcoin owners, much as renting out an idle apartment can provide rent every month without selling it.

Through combining CeFi security and DeFi flexibility, BounceBit is taking a place as the de facto platform for yield generation, staking, and governance of BTC — all while user funds remain in regulated custody.
