PANews reported on October 24, according to Cointelegraph, that Cardano will unlock over $1.3 trillion in Bitcoin liquidity for its DeFi ecosystem through a new integration with the Bitcoin smart contract platform BitcoinOS (BOS). The aim of this integration is to allow Cardano users to securely access Bitcoin without intermediaries, thereby enhancing cross-chain functionality and expanding DeFi.
ZK cryptography will play a key role in this collaboration, providing a trustless method for BOS to integrate BTC assets into Cardano through verified transactions without involving third parties. The BOS Grail bridge is a critical integration component, offering a trustless connection supported by BOS's ZK BitSNARK verification protocol.
