InterLayer Native Assets

Use BTC, ETH, SOL, and other assets natively in any VM. No wrapping, no bridges - true cross-chain interoperability.

Why "No Wrapped Tokens" Matters

Security Risk

Wrapped tokens introduce custodial risk and bridge vulnerabilities. Over $2B lost to bridge hacks in 2022-2023.

UX Friction

Users must wrap → bridge → unwrap for cross-chain operations. Multiple steps, fees, and waiting periods.

Liquidity Fragmentation

wBTC, renBTC, tBTC, WBTC - same asset, different wrappers. Splits liquidity across protocols.

Reserve-Backed System

InterLayer maintains cryptographic reserves of external assets. Deposits are locked in MPC-secured vaults and minted 1:1 as native chain assets.

Deposit Flow

1
User sends BTC to MPC vault
Multi-party threshold signature address controlled by validator set.
2
Lite clients verify Bitcoin transaction
SPV proof submitted on-chain via LiteVerse network.
3
BTC minted as native asset
Available in ALL VMs (EVM, SVM, PolkaVM, etc.) instantly.

Withdrawal Flow

1
User burns native BTC
Transaction on InterLayer chain.
2
MPC threshold signature created
Validator quorum signs Bitcoin withdrawal transaction.
3
BTC sent to destination address
Native Bitcoin transaction on Bitcoin mainnet.

Supported Assets

InterLayer Gravity Testnet currently supports native BTC and ETH deposits via MPC-secured vault addresses. SVM-executable SOL-facing programs and cross-VM asset references are under active expansion.
