On November 29, COINOTAG News reported that Bitcoin L2 Labs has unveiled sBTC, a new Bitcoin-backed asset developed in tandem with Stacks. This initiative promises a 1:1 backing of the asset by Bitcoin, offering a secure method for users to engage in the growing crypto landscape. Accompanying the launch is a robust incentive plan aimed at attracting early depositors, allowing them to benefit from initial participation.
The rollout of this project is structured in two significant phases. Phase 1, which focuses on Bitcoin deposits, is set to commence on December 16, 2024. Following this, Phase 2 will enable Bitcoin withdrawals approximately 6 to 8 weeks post-launch of Phase 1. This strategic approach is designed to facilitate a smooth transition for users looking to leverage Bitcoin’s potential through innovative Layer 2 solutions.
