The Yala Bridge allows users to deposit Bitcoin and receive yBTC, a tokenized representation of Bitcoin on the Yala platform. This token, yBTC, can then be used as collateral within the Yala ecosystem, allowing users to mint $YU, Yala’s Bitcoin-backed stablecoin, across different blockchain environments, including EVM and non-EVM chains. This process not only facilitates cross-chain liquidity but also broadens the accessibility of Bitcoin in DeFi, making it possible for users to participate in yield-generating activities, lending, and more diverse DeFi strategies.
The Yala Bridge operates through a modular framework, which supports the deployment of programmable cross-chain modules. These modules enhance the composability of Bitcoin, driving the development of a more interconnected DeFi ecosystem that spans multiple blockchain networks.
Deposit BTC: Users deposit BTC into the Yala Bridge.
Receive yBTC: In return, users receive yBTC, a tokenized representation of their Bitcoin that can be used within the Yala platform.
Using yBTC as Collateral: yBTC can be used as collateral within the Yala ecosystem, enabling users to access additional functionalities.
Minting $YU on Multiple Ecosystems: Detail the process of using yBTC to mint $YU across different ecosystems, emphasizing cross-chain capabilities.
