Backed by top venture capital firms like UTXO and ViaBTC, BOB combines the strengths of Bitcoin and Ethereum, offering enhanced security and liquidity in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. 
According to co-founder Alexei Zamyatin, BOB empowers developers to build innovative dApps without compromising on security or scalability, leveraging industry-leading liquidity and user bases. The launch, unfolding in phases, has already seen over 40 projects go live, with more expected in the coming weeks. 
BOB’s Phase 1, backed by a recent $10 million seed fund round, has attracted significant Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeding $300 million in various digital assets. Notable backers include Castle Island Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Mechanism Ventures, and Bankless Ventures. 
The next phase of BOB’s development will achieve Bitcoin proof of work via “merged mining,” enhancing security without disrupting Bitcoin mining. Merged mining refers to the process of mining two or more blockchains at the same time. 
The third planned phase will introduce BitVM, enabling a secure BTC bridge with fraud proofs similar to Ethereum’s bridges, BOB explains, ensuring safe BTC deposits enforced by Bitcoin nodes. 
Additionally, BOB introduced the FUSION program, rewarding users with Spice points for locking multiple tokens, and plans to integrate Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work security in future phases, settling transactions on both Bitcoin and Ethereum through BitVM for added security. 
BOB’s launch marks a significant step forward in integrating Bitcoin and Ethereum, offering enhanced security and liquidity, backed by strong venture capital support.
