BOB announces integration with Bitcoin wallet Xverse, its "one-click Bitcoin DeFi" feature now integrated into the Xverse Earn platform
With this integration, users can now exchange native BTC for liquid staking tokens (LSTs) such as uniBTC and solvBTC in a single transaction within the Xverse wallet, earning multi-chain BTC yields through Hybrid BTC.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsOn March 31, the hybrid Layer2 project BOB (Build on Bitcoin) announced its integration with the Bitcoin wallet Xverse. Its "one-click Bitcoin DeFi" feature has been successfully integrated into Xverse Earn and is now officially live on the Xverse website, accessible via browser extension for Chrome.
Thanks to this integration, users can now convert native BTC into liquid staking tokens (LSTs) such as uniBTC and solvBTC through a single transaction within the Xverse wallet, earn cross-chain BTC yield via Hybrid BTC, and accumulate points from protocols including Babylon, Solv, Bedrock, and Avalon.
Backed by BOB’s unique hybrid Layer2 model, Xverse Earn becomes one of the safest and simplest ways to earn Bitcoin yields—significantly expanding DeFi access for Bitcoin-native audiences and enabling millions of Bitcoin holders to seamlessly access DeFi yield opportunities, accelerating the growth of Bitcoin DeFi.
Xverse Earn: Effortless BTC Yield Generation
Xverse is a leading Bitcoin Web3 wallet offering seamless asset management and supporting Ordinals, NFTs, DeFi, and decentralized applications. Xverse previously played a key role in advancing Ordinals and Runes, helping usher in the “Bitcoin Renaissance” era and bringing a new wave of users and traffic to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Now, through the integration between BOB and Xverse, users within the Bitcoin ecosystem can easily earn yield through Bitcoin DeFi.
By integrating with BOB and offering EVM-based DeFi products and services for the first time, Xverse Earn significantly broadens the range of available yield strategies on the platform. Thanks to BOB’s “one-click DeFi” functionality and Xverse’s intuitive user interface, users can now effortlessly deploy their BTC into various DeFi positions and track their yield-generating assets in real time.
To date, Xverse Wallet has surpassed 1.5 million downloads, with over 7,000 users already participating in Xverse Earn. This collaboration with BOB marks a significant step forward in Xverse’s mission to lower the barrier to entry for newcomers into Bitcoin DeFi.
Commenting on the integration, Ken Liao, Founder and CEO of Xverse, said: “At Xverse, our focus is making Bitcoin DeFi easy for everyone. Our integration with BOB is a major leap toward that goal, providing users with a secure and seamless way to maximize their Bitcoin holdings and earn rewards. We’re excited to see more and more users beginning to experience Bitcoin DeFi through Xverse Earn.”
“One-Click Bitcoin DeFi” Powered by BOB Gateway
The new capabilities of Xverse Earn are powered by BOB Gateway, BOB’s intent-based exchange system that consolidates bridging, swapping, and deployment into a single Bitcoin transaction—eliminating the need for back-and-forth interactions across multiple interfaces.
BOB Gateway enables one-click deployment of BTC into various Bitcoin liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and DeFi positions, opening new pathways for Bitcoin holders to generate yield from their BTC.
BOB Gateway is now integrated into several leading Web3 platforms, including Sovryn (DEX), Pell (restaking platform), and Bitcoin wallet Xverse, with upcoming integrations planned for Everstake and Staking Rewards.
Alexei Zamyatin, Co-founder of BOB and core BitVM researcher, commented: “Bitcoin DeFi is widely recognized as the next frontier in crypto, and BOB Gateway can play a pivotal role by simplifying DeFi access for everyone—from Bitcoin beginners to DeFi experts. We’re thrilled to integrate with Xverse, an industry leader and one of the most influential Bitcoin wallets, to help more Bitcoin holders earn yield. Moreover, BOB is the ideal chain for Bitcoin users. Soon, trustless Bitcoin deposits and Bitcoin finality will go live on BOB, extending Bitcoin’s security to DeFi applications on Ethereum.”
BOB’s Hybrid Layer2 Model Built for Bitcoin DeFi
This integration with Xverse follows BOB’s release of its hybrid Layer2 vision paper and technical blueprint, which emphasize BOB’s mission to place Bitcoin at the heart of DeFi by combining Bitcoin’s unmatched security and censorship resistance with Ethereum’s versatility, usability, and innovation.
Currently, DeFi represents only about 0.3% of Bitcoin’s market cap, compared to 30% for Ethereum. BOB aims to close this gap by unlocking trillions of dollars in Bitcoin liquidity and bringing it into decentralized finance through its hybrid Layer2 model:
- OP Superchain Rollup + Bitcoin Secured Network (BSN): BOB operates both as an Ethereum rollup on the OP Superchain and as a BSN, soon inheriting security from billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin staked on Babylon;
- Trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge: Powered by the BitVM protocol, BOB’s native Bitcoin bridge offers a more secure alternative to existing centralized or custodial bridges—a reimagined native Bitcoin bridge for Bitcoin DeFi;
- Hybrid BTC – DeFi yield products: The industry’s first multi-chain BTC yield layer. With Hybrid BTC, users deposit assets into vaults on the BOB network, which automatically deploy those assets into DeFi applications across other chains and return yields in BTC.
Together, these elements make BOB the optimal and safest place to earn Bitcoin yield. As more liquid staking tokens (LSTs) are staked and used within DeFi on BOB, staking yields increase—making asset staking on BOB even more attractive and further boosting LST deposits, creating a powerful flywheel effect.
Additionally, every transaction on BOB—including the latest one-click staking via Xverse Earn—will soon be secured by Bitcoin-level security, extending Bitcoin’s own network security to the entire stack, from the network itself to cross-chain bridges and vaults.
About BOB (Build on Bitcoin)
BOB (Build on Bitcoin) is a hybrid Layer2 network that combines the strengths of Bitcoin and Ethereum, positioning itself as the “home of BTC DeFi.” Its unique Hybrid L2 model unites the advantages of both ecosystems—Bitcoin’s security and dormant BTC capital, and Ethereum’s DeFi innovation and versatility. By establishing BTC as the foundation of a new decentralized financial system, BOB unlocks novel use cases and unlocks trillions in BTC liquidity. BOB leverages the BitVM protocol to fully inherit Bitcoin’s network security and establishes trust-minimized bridges between BOB, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other L1 networks. As a result, Hybrid L2 does not rely on third-party cross-chain bridges for interoperability, effectively concentrating liquidity around the Bitcoin network instead of fragmenting it across multiple chains.
BOB is backed by leading investment firms including Castle Island Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Ledger Cathay Ventures, and IOSG.
