Description
DeCus.io is a groundbreaking project aimed at bridging Bitcoin and the Ethereum ecosystem to enhance the liquidity and utility of Bitcoin in the DeFi space. At its core, DeCus utilizes a unique Keeper Network to ensure secure, decentralized custody and cross-chain movement of digital assets, primarily focusing on allowing Bitcoin holders to engage in DeFi through eBTC, an ERC20 token representing Bitcoin on Ethereum. eBTC is trustlessly backed by BTC, allowing 1-to-1 conversion between BTC and eBTC, facilitating seamless participation in DeFi activities without moving assets off the Bitcoin blockchain. The project's innovation lies in its group signature scheme and decentralized custody framework, which disperses asset security responsibilities among multiple custodians (keepers) to reduce trust and risk. This setup not only minimizes the need for over-collateralization but also significantly increases collateral efficiency, with the system being capable of securing custody for more Bitcoin than is pledged, achieving an efficiency factor as high as 20. This means the collateral required is less than 5% of the total assets under custody, a substantial improvement over existing s...
