dlcBTC Onboards Waterdrip Capital into Its Merchant Network

dlcBTC, a decentralized wrapped Bitcoin natively secure on bitcoin L1, is pleased to announce the onboarding of Waterdrip Capital, an established blockchain investment firm, into its merchant network. This partnership includes a significant initial Bitcoin commitment from Waterdrip Capital, substantially boosting the platform's liquidity. The firm has also pledged to increase its supply over time in response to growing demand.

Strengthening the dlcBTC Merchant Network

The successful onboarding of Waterdrip Capital into dlcBTC's merchant network & minting of 15 dlcBTC by self-wrapping 15 Bitcoin by locking them using DLCs on Bitcoin Layer 1 marks a significant milestone for dlcBTC. As an active dlcBTC merchant, Waterdrip Capital now plays a crucial role in facilitating the minting and redeeming of dlcBTC, directly contributing to the enhanced liquidity and stability of the ecosystem.

Aki Balogh, Co-founder & CEO of dlcBTC, commented on the partnership:

"Onboarding Waterdrip Capital as a merchant is crucial for expanding dlcBTC's decentralized minting and redemption network. Their commitment significantly enhances our liquidity, enabling easier minting and redemption of dlcBTC. Unlike centralized solutions, our merchant network ensures that proof of reserves remains verifiable on-chain. Waterdrip's expertise, especially in Asian markets, will broaden our reach and potentially increase adoption. This partnership strengthens our ability to offer Bitcoin holders a secure, non-custodial bridge to multi-chain DeFi opportunities."

Potential Benefits for the dlcBTC Ecosystem

This collaboration has the potential to bring several advantages to the dlcBTC platform:

  1. Increased Liquidity: The substantial addition to dlcBTC's ecosystem could significantly improve liquidity on the platform, potentially leading to better rates and smoother transactions for users.
  2. Enhanced Credibility: Waterdrip Capital's commitment underscores the growing trust in dlcBTC's approach to bringing Bitcoin liquidity into DeFi.
  3. Expanded Network: Waterdrip Capital's connections in the blockchain industry, particularly in Asia, may help broaden dlcBTC's reach and attract more participants to the ecosystem.
  4. Shared Expertise: The partnership allows for knowledge sharing, which could contribute to the ongoing development and improvement of dlcBTC's offerings.

Maintaining Our Commitment to Security and Decentralization

As we welcome Waterdrip Capital to our merchant network, we remain dedicated to the principles of security and decentralization that are at the core of dlcBTC. Our use of Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) continues to be a key feature, providing a secure method for self- wrapping by securely locking Bitcoin natively on layer 1.

It has been an honor to invest in and collaborate with dlcBTC, one of our most outstanding Bitcoin ecosystem projects. Their innovative use of Discreet Log Contracts provides a secure, non-custodial approach to bringing Bitcoin into DeFi. We're excited to showcase the excellence of U.S.-based Bitcoin ecosystem builders to a broader blockchain audience.

Looking Ahead

While this partnership marks a positive development for dlcBTC, we recognize that building a robust DeFi ecosystem is an ongoing process. We will continue to work diligently to improve our platform, expand our network of partners, and increase liquidity.

We appreciate the continued support of our community as we work towards our goal of making Bitcoin more accessible in the world of decentralized finance.
