BitcoinOS unveils Grail Bridge testnet app

Bitcoinos, a Rollups Protocol for Bitcoin, announced the Testnet launch of its transverse Bitcoin bridge solution, Grail Bridge.

The solution allows users to transfer Bitcoin safely (without confidence (BTC) With compatible chains with Ethereum Virtual Machine, the Bitcoinos team said in a announcement.

The Grail Bridge Testnet follows a key step for Bitcoinos in July 2024, when the platform successfully verified the first proof of zero knowledge on Bitcoin Mainnet. In November, the platform joined Merlin Chain to execute the First-Zero-Knowledge Bridge Transaction.

The launch of Grail Bridge defines bitcoins on the path to improving scalability and features for users and developers on the Bitcoin network. Users and manufacturers can now use the unidirectional bridging solution to move BTC to EVM channels.

The platform powered by ZKP released A white paper in April 2024, describing solutions to Bitcoin scalability and the limitations of smart contracts.

In this Testnet phase in the first step, Bitcoinos offers integration with Testnet Holešky d’Ethereum (ETH). It also supports the basic sepolia, the Sepolia mode and the Merlin Chain Testnet. In addition, the Grail Bridge Testnet allows transactions through the main cryptographic wallets such as OKX, Xverse, Bitget and Unisat. The Testnet application also supports WalletConnect.

“The launch of the Grail application with the EVM channels benefits the maximum number of stakeholders who impatiently plan to be able to use BOS. We take advantage of the proven history of EVM Chain with ZKP and Dominance in Defi. »»

After the launch of Testnet, Bitcoinos plans that its maint-cis underline will be posted in the second quarter. Before that, the main security audits will be carried out. The project also plans to integrate into non -EVM channels, notably Cardano and Solana.

Bitcoinos recently announced its expansion with the integration of arbitrum, allowing a transition without confidence with its native token, BOS. The BTC-Arbitrum bridge connects Bitcoin to the wider ecosystem of Ethereum. Zero-Knowledge technology allows layer 2 of Ethereum to operate as a DEFI layer for Bitcoin.
