A one-stop shop for Bitcoin DeFi.

A trustless, decentralized bridge bringing BTC to multi-chain DeFi — wrapped token, vault network, and a BTC Relay light client, built in Rust and C++.

Challenges

Bring trustless, decentralized BTC integration to other blockchains
Design vault economics — collateral whitelisting, risk assessment, and safety thresholds — that keep user assets safe
Verify Bitcoin block headers and transactions on-chain, resilient to blockchain forks

Results

A wrapped BTC token bridging Bitcoin to multi-chain DeFi, with non-interactive, censorship-resistant minting.
A BTC Relay light client verifying block headers, proof-checking transactions, and handling forks.
A permissionless vault network with over-collateralization and immediate liquidations guaranteeing users can always redeem.
Engineers onboarded rapidly into Rust and C++ blockchain development — outside the original stack.

Apoddo’s initial expertise wasn’t specifically in Crypto and Blockchain. However, their adaptability and proactive approach truly impressed us. They rapidly onboarded top-tier talent and seamlessly integrated their team members to align with our requirements.
