About Brotocol
Brotocol builds Bitcoin bridging and trading products, BroBridge and BroSwap: the bridge locks BTC and BRC-20 assets on the source chain and mints representations on EVM and other destinations, while the swap lets users trade directly from a Bitcoin wallet without managing addresses and keys on several chains. It targets Bitcoin holders who want access to yield and trading elsewhere but are blocked by bridging steps and wallet complexity.
The convenience and risk of lock-mint are two sides of one coin: the representation is only worth as much as the custodian's locked backing, and if the bridge is exploited or the operator disappears, wrapped assets depeg. In July 2026 its Stacks-based settlement layer shut down standard peg-outs and the team moved toward a Solana settlement layer, a migration not yet complete; on-chain value locked is about $745,000 and no full audit is publicly available. For users, counterparty risk at a small bridge outweighs contract risk, so custody and redemption paths should be checked before crossing.
Brotocol launched as a Bitcoin-native DeFi protocol, introducing a cross-chain bridge (BroBridge) that enables BTC transfers across 18+ networks with a 0.1% fee. The protocol achieved significant milestones, including a total bridged volume of $336.5M+ and TVL of $51.1M+ by March 25, 2025. A key long-term development was the integration with ALEX Multichain Launchpad, allowing users to participate in IDOs without manual bridging. Brotocol also established Proof of Reserve mechanisms and published audit reports, enhancing transparency and trust. The protocol's focus on native BTC bridging, rather than wrapped assets, positions it as a foundational infrastructure for Bitcoin DeFi.
Brotocol began migrating its settlement layer in 2026, moving its base from Stacks to Solana with completion expected in the third quarter of 2026. Peg-in minting for aBTC and aUSD has been paused during the transition, and holders on Stacks were told to complete peg-outs by July 15, 2026, after which peg-outs move to manual weekly batches. The team says reserves have remained fully backed and redeemable throughout.
Brotocol's migration aims to relaunch the protocol on a more liquid, market-focused Solana architecture, with the new version expected to bring broader integration capabilities and product possibilities and to connect global liquidity around BTCFi. The roadmap focuses on letting developers, users and merchants manage BTC and stablecoins through a single bitcoin wallet and take part in DeFi directly; BroBridge will keep supporting stablecoins from chains such as Arbitrum and Solana moving into the Bitcoin network and being staked through Babylon, while BroSwap provides in-wallet swaps and BroPay handles merchant payments with backend auto-conversion into native BTC, all aimed at a BTCFi Summer built on a single bitcoin wallet for BTC and stablecoins.
