According to BlockBeats, the Bitcoin-backed token ccBTC has been launched on the CKB mainnet on July 3. The token is supported by a 1:1 Bitcoin reserve and is managed meticulously by Cactus Custody, a subsidiary of Matrixport, serving as its BTC asset custodian. Meson Finance, a leading cross-chain service provider in the Bitcoin ecosystem, has been appointed as the cross-chain bridge by the CKB Eco Fund. It has officially launched on the CKB mainnet and supports ccBTC, assisting users in achieving cross-chain circulation of ccBTC assets on mainstream public chains and BTC Layer2.
ccBTC will utilize the features of Nervos CKB and RGB++ protocols to ensure the safe flow of BTC within the Bitcoin ecosystem, aiding various DApps in using Bitcoin assets. Previously, the CKB Eco Fund announced a strategic partnership with Cross-Chain Tokens (ccTokens) and Meson Finance to facilitate the deployment and issuance of ccBTC on the CKB main chain, introducing Bitcoin liquidity to the CKB mainnet. Until July 31, users can enjoy a free cross-chain experience through this cross-chain bridge.
