This proposal would add BTC.int3 as a constituent of Alloyed BTC with an initial static limit of 5%.
Alloyed BTC
Alloyed BTC was recognized as the canonical Bitcoin on Osmosis in Proposal 813.
It currently has around 123 BTC in supply on Osmosis and consists of:
- WBTC.eth.axl (Axelar bridge from Ethereum) (75% Cap)
- WBTC (Natively Issued on Osmosis)
- ckBTC (Chain-Key Bitcoin via ICP) (35% Cap)
- nBTC (Nomic Bridged Bitcoin) (35% Cap)
- cbBTC (Coinbase Bitcoin via Axelar) (75% cap)
This proposal requests that BTC.int3 be added to the existing Bitcoin Alloy, enabling BTC deposits via the Int3face bridge. This provides another decentralized Bitcoin to Osmosis deposit method.
This proposal adds an initial static rate limit of 5% to bound risk to Alloyed BTC for a new variant. This may be further expanded by governance as adoption grows and transfers occur without incident.
