You won’t want to miss this if you’re a BTC holder!

tl:dr

  • ACoconut v2 on BSC Beta testing begins on 17:00 3/26/2021 (UTC+8)
  • Beta testing participants will be eligible for $AC Airdrop
  • BTC+ on BSC supports BTC assets from: Venus, Autofarm, ACryptoS and ForTube
  • Mint and deposit vBTC+, autoBTC+, acsBTCB+, fBTCB+ to earn global interests and $AC

We are thrilled to introduce the launch of ACoconut v2 Beta on BSC!

The launch of ACoocnut v2 also marks the inauguration of BTC+. BTC+ is a positively rebasing synthetic BTC designed to provide global interests, stable peg and protocol versatility for BTC holders.

With the addition of BTC+, the ACoconut protocol suite is the first BTC DeFi solution that empowers BTC holders to realize cross-chain yield opportunities.

New Features in ACoconut v2

  • Single+ token, BTC+ and cross-chain BTC yield aggregator
  • Compatible with BSC, Ethereum and multiple networks
  • $AC Tokenomics v2 (details will be released via a separate post)
  • New DApp UI

What is the ACoconut Protocol Suite?

ACoconut v2 consists of two open protocols: BTC+ and acBTC. The protocol suite aims to enable frictionless movement of BTC liquidity between decentralized systems.

BTC+

BTC+ is a positively rebasing synthetic BTC composed of BTC-yield tokens. The positive rebase mechanism of BTC+ provides holders with a number of benefits currently unavailable to BTC-yield token holders, namely:

  1. Global interests from underlying BTC-yield tokens
  2. Stable peg against BTC
  3. Composability with DeFi protocols

acBTC

acBTC is a synthetic BTC backed by a basket of pegged BTC assets. The acBTC composite basket serves as a swap engine to facilitate the exchange of underlying pegged BTC constituents. acBTC holders benefit from the powerful swap engine, namely:

  1. Affordable cross-chain transfer of BTC liquidity at scale
  2. Mitigates single point of failure
  3. Stable peg against BTC

As BTC liquidity continues to enter Ethereum, we foresee a growing number of use cases for frictionless transfer of BTC liquidity between Ethereum and next generation Layer 1 networks. Furthermore, demand for consistent returns on BTC will be highly sought after by BTC holders.

ACoconut v2 is a truly innovative BTC DeFi solution compatible with multiple networks. It is built to enable efficient cross-chain movement at scale; empowering BTC holders to effectively put Bitcoin to work.

Beta Testing Details

ACoconut v2 is a significant milestone for the BTC DeFi community. With months of research, design and implementation, we would like to invite all BTC holders, DeFi maximalists, yield farmers, traders and BSC community advocates to participate in Beta testing!
