🌯 Wrap BTCN on Curve

BTCN, Corn's native gas token, is a powerful asset that bridges the gap between Bitcoin's value and the programmable potential of EVM-based applications. However, since BTCN is a native asset on the Corn network, certain protocols and applications require it to be wrapped into a tokenized form to interact with their systems.

To address this, Corn introduces wBTCN, a wrapped version of BTCN similar to wETH for ETH on Ethereum.

wBTCN is backed 1:1 by BTCN, ensuring its value mirrors that of BTCN. It is fully immutable, transparent, and has no minting or redeeming fees, making it a reliable and efficient option for DeFi applications on Corn.

This guide will walk you through the steps to wrap BTCN into wBTCN using Curve's intuitive user interface.

  3. Approve the transaction in your wallet when prompted.

Even though the UI suggests that a swap is happening, the transaction is actually a deposit into wBTCN. There are no fees associated with this transaction.

Once the transaction is complete, the corresponding amount of wBTCN will be credited to your wallet.

Do you want to unwrap your wBTCN?​

Follow the same steps as above, but instead of selecting BTCN as the asset you wish to swap and wBTCN as the asset you wish to receive, select wBTCN as the asset you wish to swap and BTCN as the asset you wish to receive.

Post-Wrapping: What’s Next?​

  • Use wBTCN Across Corn's Ecosystem: With wBTCN, you can interact with a variety of DeFi applications, participate in liquidity pools, and more.
  • Track Your wBTCN Holdings: Use your wallet or block explorer (like Cornscan) to view your wrapped BTCN balance.
