Kraken 推出 Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC) 代幣，以提高比特幣在去中心化應用上的實用性

10 月 17 日，Kraken 推出了 Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC)，這是一種新的 ERC-20 代幣，旨在提高比特幣在去中心化應用程式中的實用性

Kraken has introduced Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC), a new ERC-20 token designed to enhance Bitcoin's usability across decentralized applications (dApps) on networks like Ethereum and OP Mainnet. Backed 1:1 by Bitcoin and held in custody at Kraken, each kBTC token enables users to interact with Bitcoin's value within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Kraken 推出了 Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC)，這是一種新的 ERC-20 代幣，旨在增強比特幣在以太坊和 OP 主網等網路上的去中心化應用程式 (dApp) 中的可用性。每個 kBTC 代幣均以比特幣 1:1 的比例支援並由 Kraken 保管，使用戶能夠在去中心化金融 (DeFi) 生態系統中與比特幣的價值進行互動。

The launch of kBTC aims to integrate Bitcoin's store of value and security capabilities into broader blockchain ecosystems, particularly those operating on Ethereum and beyond. Each kBTC token is securely held at Kraken Financial, a Wyoming-chartered Special Purpose Depository Institution (SPDI). The kBTC smart contract has also undergone an audit by the security firm Trail of Bits.

kBTC 的推出旨在將比特幣的價值儲存和安全功能整合到更廣泛的區塊鏈生態系統中，特別是在以太坊及其他平台上運行的生態系統。每個 kBTC 代幣均安全地保存在懷俄明州特許特殊目的存款機構 (SPDI) Kraken Financial 中。 kBTC 智能合約也經過了安全公司 Trail of Bits 的審核。

Kraken highlights the interoperability aspect of kBTC, allowing Bitcoin to be utilized across different networks. The token is initially set to integrate with Ethereum and OP Mainnet, with plans for further expansion to non-EVM chains in the future. This increased flexibility is touted as making kBTC a valuable tool for developers building dApps using Bitcoin or for investors seeking to access Bitcoin in on-chain environments.

Kraken 強調了 kBTC 的互通性，允許比特幣在不同的網路上使用。該代幣最初計劃與以太坊和 OP 主網集成，並計劃在未來進一步擴展到非 EVM 鏈。這種靈活性的提高被認為使 kBTC 成為使用比特幣建立 dApp 的開發人員或尋求在鏈上環境中存取比特幣的投資者的寶貴工具。

Moreover, the exchange allows users to independently verify that each kBTC token is fully backed by Bitcoin by inspecting Kraken's on-chain reserves.

此外，該交易所允許用戶透過檢查 Kraken 的鏈上儲備來獨立驗證每個 kBTC 代幣是否完全由比特幣支援。

Kraken's launch of kBTC also includes partnerships with several platforms from Day 1, such as deBridge, Definitive, Gauntlet, ParaSwap, and Yearn, which will incorporate kBTC into their services. These partnerships are expected to help expand kBTC's reach and utility across DeFi ecosystems.

Kraken 推出 kBTC 還包括從第一天起就與多個平台建立合作夥伴關係，例如 deBridge、Definitive、Gauntlet、ParaSwap 和 Yearn，這些平台將把 kBTC 納入其服務中。這些合作夥伴關係預計將有助於擴大 kBTC 在 DeFi 生態系統中的影響力和效用。
