What is BounceBit?

BounceBit is the first-ever native BTC Restaking chain. The BounceBit network is secured by staking both Bitcoin and BounceBit tokens. BounceBit's PoS mechanism introduces a unique dual-token staking system by leveraging native BTC security with full EVM compatibility. In a groundbreaking move, BounceBit introduces the mixed DeFi and CeFi yield mechanism, allowing BTC holders to earn yields through native validator staking, DeFi ecosystem, and a CeFi mirroring mechanism powered by Ceffu and Mainnet Digital. The $BB token has several uses on the BounceBit platform: Staking: Stake $BB to actively participate in the PoS dual-token staking mechanism. Protocol Incentive: The token is paid out as staking reward to validators who secure the network. Gas: $BB is the denomination of the gas fees that are required to conduct transactions and execute smart contracts. Governance: Use $BB to participate in on-chain governance, e.g. voting on protocol upgrades. Currency: $BB can be used as currency on the BounceBit platform. It can be used in various applications and infrastructure, as medium of exchange or store of value. BounceBit’s Layer 1 consists of the following components: Dual-token PoS: A hybrid consensus mechanism where each validator can accept both $BBTC and $BB tokens; Native LSD module: A module allowing the delegation of staking to validators and receiving a LST voucher in return. BounceBit has a foundational CeFi layer which consists of below components: Regulated Custody: All user funds are stored in secure custody solutions utilizing MPC wallets. Off-Exchange Settlement (OES): OES enables safe access to CEX liquidity, while transactions are settled off-exchange.

How Does Crypto Work?

Cryptocurrency operates on decentralized networks, leveraging blockchain technology to record transactions securely without the need for a central authority. Users initiate transactions by sending cryptocurrency to others, which are then verified and added to the blockchain by a network of computers using cryptographic techniques. Transactions rely on public and private keys for security, with miners validating transactions through complex puzzles in a process called mining. Consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work (PoW) ensure agreement among network nodes on transaction validity. Wallets enable users to store, send, and receive cryptocurrency securely, while decentralized applications (DApps) utilize cryptocurrencies for various functions across industries. In summary, cryptocurrencies facilitate decentralized, peer-to-peer transactions, supported by blockchain technology and cryptographic principles.
