Bitcoin holders can now negotiate, borrow and execute complex DEFI strategies for only $ 0.01 per transaction, after the launch of TBTC by Threshold Network on Starknet. This minimized confidence protocol transforms Bitcoin into functional deffi capital while preserving the complete user guard.
TBTC is now available for direct laying on Starknet Via the threshold user interface, allowing users to provide BTC Onchain transparently without guards or intermediaries.
With Bitcoin Average Transaction costs at $ 1.49 (7-day mobile average, June 2025), this does not correspond to the ultra-low costs of Starknet, where the same Bitcoin, via TBTC, can be exchanged, loaned or deployed in complex challenge strategies for only $ 0.01 per transaction.
“BTC on Bitcoin Mainnet is like gold bars in a safe: precious but unusable,” said Maclane Wilkison, co-founder of Threshold Labs. “At only $ 0.01 per transaction on Starknet, Bitcoin becomes more than a reserve of value – it can now be used for small -scale businesses, executed hundreds of times a day, and as a capital source to lend or even borrow. It is Bitcoin because it had to be used.”
The figures: why Bitcoin Defi is struggling
Current reality of Bitcoin Mainnet (data in June 2025):
- Average transaction fees: $ 1.49 (7 -day mobile average)
- Recent PEPP during congestion: $ 91.89 (April 2024)
- Confirmation time: 10-60 minutes
Result: Complex challenge operations become non -profitable: even at $ 1.49, an exchange of $ 100 costs 1.5% in costs.
TBTC on Starknet changes the economy:
- Transaction costs: $ 0.01
- Confirmation: Instant
- Flower: 857 TPS (performed in tests)
Result: Bitcoin becomes a working capital, operating at a minimum cost.
What’s going on for TBTC X Starknet
With the launch of TBTC on Starknet, Threshold Network builds the basics of a Bitcoin-Ethereum economy in a scalable and zero knowledge environment. TBTC integrates into the most important protocols of Starknet to bring the liquidity of the bitcoin minimized by confidence in negotiation, loan and beyond.
- Live on the launch: Dex Trading on Ekubo – Native Starknet Dexs Activate the deep and effective trading of TBTC compared to the selected pairs. Users can deploy capital with minimal shift and explore high frequency strategies at a much lower cost.
- Soon: TBTC Lending on Vesu – Soon, users can borrow against their TBTC positions without abandoning custody, via Vesu. This integration reflects the success of TBTC on Ethereum, where more than 25% of the offer is locked in Aave.
What can users do with TBTC on Starknet
- Perform trading and loan strategies
- Provide cash at minimum rebalancing costs
- Use Bitcoin as warranty without selling
- Manage positions freely on Dex
- Exchange the TBTC or explore the pairs of jealization
Activation of new cases of use of applications:
- Streaming payments: Allows you to send sustained payments by Bitcoin on one base per second.
- Automated strategies: Allows BTC to operate in intelligent contract systems while minimizing the general gas costs that could reduce yields.
- Bitcoin propulsion games: Facilitates microtransactions through low -cost transfers and Bitcoin backs, making them viable in game environments.
What is going then
- Perpetuals & CDPS: The coming integrations with PRUR DEX and guaranteed debt protocols will widen the leverage managed by risks and allow BTC to supply more complex DEFI tools.
- Yield vault: Future integrations with automated vaults will simplify liquidity management for users and unlock more opportunities with BTC on DEFI.
- Oracles and liquidity infrastructure: Collaborations with the main liquidity suppliers and Oracle Networks will guarantee precise price food and optimal capital deployment.
“This fundamentally changes the role of Bitcoin in Defi,” said Damian Chen, responsible for growth at the Starknet Foundation. “We see that the developers revisit ideas killed by high costs. Bitcoin on a large scale is finally possible on Starknet. ”
Safety without compromise
Unlike other wrapped bitcoins that require police custody, TBTC uses threshold cryptography. Several independent nodes secure Bitcoin deposits, ensuring that no entity controls funds. No KYC is required and users maintain Bitcoin sovereignty when accessing Defi.
The zero knowledge evidence of Starknet provides scaling. Stark cryptography compresses thousands of transactions in a single proof, performing 857 TPS during tests while retaining Ethereum safety guarantees.
How to access TBTC on Starknet
Access TBTC on Starknet via 2 ways:
With $ 547 million on TVL,, 193 active protocolsand more 11,000 daily users,, Net Quickly emerged as a center for an evolutionary composable and composable deffi.
Starknet users can now suppress TBTC directly – a fully sustained representation of native Bitcoin – via the threshold user interface, providing them with transparent access to the Bitcoin value without intermediaries and in full guard.
In addition, users can fill the existing TBTC from Ethereum L1 to Starknet via the official Starkgate bridge, offering even more flexibility for Bitcoin holders to participate in Starknet Defi.
Market context
Despite a market capitalization of 2.1 billions of dollars, the presence of Bitcoin in Defi remains minimal, with only $ 6.3 billion (less than 0.3%) locked in decentralized protocols, according to Defillama data from June 2025. Potential to develop 10 to 15x, which will name a new utility beyond passive maintenance and in active participation and in the field of compound.
TBTC has operated since 2020 as the main Bitcoin Protocol Minimized confidence. Combined with the proven capacity of 857 TPS of Starknet, Bitcoin Defi can finally evolve.
About the threshold network
The threshold network feeds TBTC, the first decentralized active, 1: 1 supported by Bitcoin for Defi. Secure by a signatory model of 51 out of 100, TBTC allows BTC to move through several channels – including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum and Bob – without demanding guards or compromises. With 450 million dollars + on TVL and 3.6 billion dollars in volume of bridge since 2020, Threshold has offered the most robust Bitcoin infrastructure in trust in Defi.
About Starknet
Starknet is a rollup without permission and decentralized zero knowledge (ZK) which offers a high scalability, low costs and rapid purpose. Propelled by Starkware and Starkware evidence, Starknet is designed for long -term composibility, safety and flexibility of developers.
