Internet Computer Issues ‘Liquid Bitcoin,’ for Faster and Affordable BTC Transactions

.dfinity is bringing layer-2 capabilities to Bitcoin, making it faster and cheaper to transact without compromising security. By shauryamalwa.

The Dfinity Foundation, a significant contributor to the development of the Internet Computer network, on Monday issued ckBTC — a liquid and cost-efficient “twin” token that is backed on a 1:1 basis with bitcoin .
