21.co Integrates Chainlink Proof of Reserve To Increase Transparency of its Wrapped Bitcoin (21BTC) on Solana and Ethereum
24 9월 2024 - 1:00AM
ZURICH, 23 September 2024 – 21.co, the parent
company of 21Shares – one of the world’s largest issuers of crypto
exchange traded products (ETPs), today announced the integration of
the industry-standard Chainlink Proof of Reserve on both Solana and
Ethereum mainnets to increase the transparency of 21.co Wrapped
Bitcoin (21BTC). The firm is leveraging Chainlink Proof of Reserve
within 21.co’s digital asset management platform Onyx to automate
real-time reserve verification and enable secure minting of
21BTC.
In May 2024, 21.co announced the launch of 21BTC on Solana,
offering users native access to Bitcoin on Solana through a simple
and secure solution that creates cross-chain compatibility,
liquidity and utility. Earlier this month, the firm announced the
expansion of its Wrapped Bitcoin ecosystem with the launch of 21BTC
on Ethereum with one of the world’s largest market makers, Flow
Traders. 21.co wrapped Bitcoin is built by institutions and for the
digital asset community with institutional security and strong
mechanisms to help ensure user protection.
Chainlink has securely enabled over $15 trillion in transaction
value and its infrastructure is seamless to integrate, time-tested
in production, and provides ease of integration and widespread
adoption – making Chainlink 21.co’s preferred decentralized
computing platform and recommended service for bringing reserve
data onchain.
21BTC is a native Solana and a native Ethereum token, fully
backed 1:1 by Bitcoin reserves held in cold storage and
institutional custody. Timely updates on the status of those BTC
reserves are delivered onchain via Chainlink Proof of Reserve,
giving users greater visibility and stronger assurances that 21BTC
is fully collateralized. Ultimately, this makes Bitcoin, the
largest digital asset by market cap and proven store of value with
deep liquidity, more easily and securely accessible across the
Solana and Ethereum ecosystems.
Key benefits of Chainlink Proof of Reserve include:
- Programmatic Utility — By bringing reserve
data onchain, protocols can build automated logic around the
reserve data backing an asset thus building new use cases and
features such as automated onchain risk management.
- Confidence — With secure minting, Proof of
Reserve protects against malicious minting by embedding
cryptographic guarantees that new tokens minted are backed by
reserves, helping to prevent infinite mint attacks.
- Decentralized — As the industry-standard
solution, Chainlink Proof of Reserve Feeds are decentralized at the
data source and oracle node level, eliminating central points of
failure in the sourcing and delivery of external data to Solana and
Ethereum.
- Transparent — Chainlink Proof of Reserve Feeds
can be monitored by anyone in real-time, allowing any user to
independently verify asset collateralization, bringing increased
transparency and trust to onchain products.
“21Shares and Chainlink have played fundamentally important
roles in ensuring the adoption of a more secure blockchain
infrastructure, and we’re excited to see 21Shares integrate
Chainlink Proof of Reserve to support 21BTC. Proof of Reserve’s
role in enabling a secure minting function is a key step to
creating a reliable framework that allows for the tokenization of
trillions of dollars in value.”— Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer
at Chainlink Labs.
“The industry-standard Chainlink Proof of Reserve is critical
for providing transparency into the reserves backing 21BTC, helping
to secure its minting function and supporting its widespread
adoption across the Solana and Ethereum ecosystems. By securing the
minting function and providing timely and reliable monitoring of
reserves, Proof of Reserve gives users greater assurances that
21BTC is fully backed by BTC 1:1.”— Eliezer Ndinga, Head of
Strategy and Business Development, Digital Assets at 21.co.
