Bitway
Bitway is a blockchain infrastructure project that connects on-chain digital assets with global financial markets, offering a strategic platform to enable seamless capital flow across TradFi and DeFi ecosystems. [1]
Overview
Bitway is a blockchain-based financial infrastructure platform focused on connecting digital asset markets with traditional financial systems. Its ecosystem includes stablecoin yield protocols, the Bitway Ledger blockchain, the Bitcoin-compatible token BTCT, and Bitcoin lending mechanisms that utilize Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs). The platform is designed to facilitate the movement of capital between decentralized and traditional finance by providing tools for yield generation, lending, borrowing, and cross-chain settlement. Through its architecture, Bitway supports the use of stablecoins and Bitcoin in a range of financial activities, including collateralized lending and on-chain investment strategies. Bitway operates as an on-chain strategy infrastructure that combines blockchain transparency with risk-management frameworks, aiming to provide access to financial strategies across both decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi) environments.

Products
Bitway Ledger
The Bitway Ledger is a decentralized Proof of Stake (dPoS) Layer 1 blockchain that is fully compatible with Bitcoin. This innovative chain provides the foundational infrastructure for native Bitcoin lending and supports decentralized applications aiming to leverage Bitcoin's security and liquidity. [1]
BTCT Token
The BTCT token serves as a Bitcoin-compatible asset within the Bitway ecosystem, facilitating a bridge for Bitcoin across the network. This token enables users to utilize Bitcoin's value within the Bitway framework, allowing seamless transactions and integration with financial products. [1]
Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs)
Bitway employs Discreet Log Contracts, which are used for executing native Bitcoin lending in a non-custodial, permissionless manner. These smart contracts enhance financial operations by enabling complex financial agreements to execute directly on the Bitcoin network, ensuring high security and transparency. [1]
Key Features
- DeTradFi Stablecoin Yield Protocols: Bitway integrates traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi) through its stablecoin yield protocols. These protocols provide sustainable returns on stablecoins by deploying capital into risk-managed strategies that are principle-protected. [1]
- Stake Platform: The Bitway staking platform allows users to participate in network security and governance while earning recalibrated returns. It offers features like zero-fee flash unstaking and joins users in LP pools to boost the value of their holdings through strategic asset allocation. [2]
Tokenomics
The BTW token is the native utility token of the Bitway ecosystem and is available in both ERC-20 and BEP-20 formats, enabling interoperability across multiple blockchain networks. It is used for governance, staking, network participation, and transaction-related functions within the Bitway ecosystem.
Bitway has a fixed total supply of 10 billion BTW tokens. The token allocation is distributed as follows:
- 26.67% – Community initiatives
- 20.00% – Ecosystem development
- 20.00% – Team
- 16.33% – Backers and investors
- 12.00% – Strategic partners
- 5.00% – Liquidity provisioning
At the token generation event (TGE), 22% of the total supply was unlocked, while the remainder was subject to vesting schedules extending over multiple years. Team and investor allocations are released gradually following lock-up periods, whereas partner and liquidity allocations were made available at launch. [3] [5]
Token Utilities
- Governance: BTW holders can participate in governance processes, including voting on protocol upgrades, economic parameters, treasury allocation, and other ecosystem-related proposals.
- Staking and Delegation: BTW is used to secure the Bitway Ledger, a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain. Validators stake BTW to participate in network consensus, while delegators can contribute their tokens to validators and receive staking rewards. BTW also functions as the native gas token for transactions on Bitway Ledger.
- Access to Ecosystem Services: Staked BTW may provide access to selected Bitway products, early-stage offerings, and participation programs that are not generally available to all users.
- Rewards and Fee Benefits: Users who stake BTW may qualify for enhanced rewards and reduced fees across certain Bitway products and services, subject to program-specific conditions.
- Ecosystem Incentives: BTW is used for liquidity incentives, partner rewards, and other participation mechanisms intended to support activity and engagement across the Bitway ecosystem. [3] [5]
