### What Is Bitlocus (BTL)?

Since 2018 the main goal of Bitlocus has been to remove the complexity of the crypto space for fiat users. Our products for retail and business clients automatically convert between fiat and crypto assets, allowing users to participate in DeFi without ever touching a cryptocurrency wallet or facing other technical barriers.

Our platform users benefit from the fast-growing DeFi ecosystem easily, as they can access selected DeFi protocols with either fiat or crypto. A major advantage of Bitlocus is the user-friendly and no-hassle system that is easy to use even for those unfamiliar with the concept of DeFi.

Bitlocus services include:
* Crypto exchange. 
* DeFi staking, lending and farming platform with fiat access to selected DeFi protocols.
* NFT minting self-service.
* Crypto-as-a-service platform for business clients.

BTL is the native utility token that empowers overall Bitlocus ecosystem and is used for:
* Better DeFi interest rates: BTL holders earn up to 30% better interest rates.
* Better BTL staking rates: the longer you stake your BTL, the more BTL you earn as interest.
* Fee discounts: additional discounts are available for business clients’ fees paid in BTL.
* Exclusive access: additional features and services will be available to BTL holders only - soon.

Being considerate and careful about the risks, our company managed to keep the exposure to Terra crash limited and experienced only minor loss related to liquidity provided for Terra blockchain (BTL/UST). Even under these unfavorable circumstances Bitlocus team kept up the pace continuously building and improving the platform. We quickly pivoted and tweaked our offering to business clients, while our token supply, originally on Terra, was immediately bridged to BSC and Ethereum.

Theta (THETA) is a blockchain powered network purpose-built for video streaming. Launched in March 2019, the Theta mainnet operates as a decentralized network in which users share bandwidth and computing resources on a peer-to-peer (P2P) basis. The project is advised by Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube and Justin Kan, co-founder of Twitch.

Theta features its own native cryptocurrency token, THETA, which performs various governance tasks within the network, and counts Google, Binance, Blockchain ventures, Gumi, Sony Europe and Samsung as Enterprise validators, along with a Guardian network of thousands of community-run guardian nodes.

Developers say that the project aims to shake up the video streaming industry in its current form — centralization, poor infrastructure and high costs mean that end users often end up with a poor experience. Content creators likewise earn less revenue due to the barriers between them and end users.

The Theta team has created a customer-centric business plan for their growing ecosystem of services focused on esports, music, TV, movies, and education. The list of Theta Network partners includes video platforms like Samsung VR, Cinedigm, Shout! Factory, Pandora.tv, Play Labs, and THETA.tv.
