BTChain
Enabling blockchain projects.
Powered by Bitcoin
BTChain allows you to create on BitCoin using the most popular smart contract language, Solidity.
BitCoin
The BTChain network uses BTC as its base asset for paying transaction fees. This means that you can build and enjoy defi projects using only BTC as your base currency.
Ethereum
Build and trade like Ethereum. The BTChain solution brings the DeFi applications of Ethereum to BitCoin, with lightning fast speed and low transaction fees.
BTChain: For Users
BTChain creates the opportunity to interact with decentralized applications without being directly exposed to secondary crypto assets. All you need is BitCoin.
NFTs
Create and trade NFTs using BTC as gas and payment
DeFi
Swap ERC20 compatible currencies and stable coins
GameFi
Create and trade in-game assets

Getting Started
The BTChain network uses BTC as its base asset for paying fees and gas. To access the network, you will need an Ethereum wallet with some $ and BTChain network in it.
On the following pages we will walk through the steps to create a Metamask Wallet, configure MetaMask to get a BTChain address, and finally send $ to be converted into $BTC on BTChain.
Our first step is to install Metamask. Proceed to the next section to begin.
We have a suite of webpages and tools to help navigating BTChain:
- BTChain Explorer
- BTChain Asset Bridge
- BTChain Bridge Explorer
Getting an Ethereum wallet (MetaMask)
MetaMask is a web browser extension and mobile app that allows you to manage your Ethereum private keys. By doing so, it serves as a wallet for Ether and other tokens, and allows you to interact with decentralized applications, or dapps. Unlike some wallets, MetaMask keeps no information on you: not your email address, not your password, and not your Secret Recovery Phrase or other private keys. You retain all power over your crypto-identity.
Follow the instructions on the link bellow to install the Metamask extension on your browser or the app on your mobile device.
Setting up MetaMask for BTChain
Use the button above to add BTChain to your Metamask or enter the following information manually:
BTChain testnet details:
- Network Name: BTChain Testnet
- New RPC URL: https://testnet-rpc.btchain.finance/
- Chain ID: 158
- Currency Symbol: BTC
- Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.btchain.finance
Moving Assets to BTChain and back to Ethereum
Use the BTChain bridge to send assets between Ethereum and BTChain.
Nodes & Staking
BTChain introduces staking to the BitCoin ecosystem.
A limited supply of 150 nodes will be available for purchase.
Node owners will be able to set up their own staking pools and encourage holders to stake their $BTCH tokens in their pool.
/ Node Owners
- Decentralized Leadership: Decide how much revenue share to offer those that stake in their pool.
- Competitive Rewards: The more tokens are staked — the higher % of gas fees you earn.
- Freedom of Participation: Can sell their ownership of node any time.
/ Token Stakers
- Freedom of Choice: Can choose any staking pool they want (highest paying ones)
- Community Incentives: Each token staker has own unique referral link. Stakers can encourage friends to stake in the pool with them. The referrer and referee will both receive bonuses for using the referral link.
- Passive Rewards: Earn BTC rewards from staking.
{Projects Acquisition}
BTChain is bringing all crypto together!
We are merging with other token project communities to build our community & give other communities more and new options. We have structured out a way where the merged community, developers and BTChain own community wins!
New project acquisitions alter BTChain tokenomics which takes into account new airdrops for the migrated project community holders and newly acquired liquidity.
/ What do the developers get?
Incentives to bring your project to BTChain.
- Clean way to move on without abandoning, doing fraudulent activities on the community
- % of migration funds extracted
/ What do the merged holders get?
Benefits for the new community holders of the merged project.
- LP migration from old project to BTChain
- Old holders current value in BTChain tokens plus bonuses
- Greater potential of investment growth
What does BTChain get?
You, as part of our community. More circulating value to our chain.
BTChain: Steps to decentralization
BTChain aims to provide the best decentralized blockchain but every successful decentralized system starts off with strong centralized planning.
Appropriate Initial Centralization
- Initial Leadership: Centralized management communicating proper guidance to community.
- Responsible Development: Team of developers builds out BTChain features (nodes, swap, DEX).
- Centralized Funding: Team does initial funding for the project and launches the token.
Power to community (decentralization)
- Nodes: Community members buy out nodes and decide themselves which staking pools to choose and how many rewards to pay out.
- Participation: Holders trade on BTChain DEX, giving out feedback and trust votes.
- Increased TVL and Volume: Holders can use bridge freely to transfer tokens in-and-out of BTChain.
- Decentralized Development: Community can build on BTChain with no blockage.
- Governance: Community can vote through DAO towards BTChain development.
