uniBTC is Now Live on X Layer: Expanding Bitcoin’s Reach and Liquidity on the New Money Chain

Bedrock has officially launched uniBTC on X Layer, marking another step in our mission to make Bitcoin productive across leading DeFi ecosystems.

If you’re part of the X Layer community or an OKX Wallet user, this expansion gives you direct access to restaked Bitcoin assets — ready to bridge, stake, or earn across the network’s DeFi ecosystem.

Built for Scale: The Infrastructure Powering X Layer

X Layer is a next-generation Ethereum Layer 2 built using the Optimism Stack for faster and cheaper on-chain transactions. It offers full EVM equivalence, meaning developers can deploy existing Ethereum dApps without modification, while users enjoy near-zero gas fees and lightning-fast confirmations.

The network supports up to 5,000 transactions per second (TPS), with average transaction costs as low as $0.0005 and 400-millisecond block times — making it one of the most performant L2s for DeFi.

X Layer integrates directly with OKX’s centralized exchange and OKX Wallet, giving its 50-million-strong user base a seamless entry point to Web3. Over 200 dApps have already gone live, spanning DeFi, infrastructure, and cross-chain bridges, with notable integrations such as Aave, Uniswap, Curve, LayerZero, and EigenLayer.

Expanding Bitcoin’s Utility Through X Layer

BTCFi on X Layer is still in its early stages, but the foundation is already being built for long-term growth. Following X Layer’s L1 upgrade in August 2025, wrapped Bitcoin assets such as xBTC have started to gain traction in DeFi lending and liquidity protocols.

xBTC, launched globally by OKX in May 2025, serves as a 1:1 BTC-backed wrapped token with reserves verified through real-time Proof of Reserves. Initially available on chains like Aptos and Solana, xBTC made its way to X Layer in late October 2025, opening new ways for Bitcoin holders to access DeFi yields while staying within the OKX ecosystem.

As one of the key players in the Bitcoin DeFi segment, Bedrock sees this progress as a great foundation for expanding BTC liquidity and creating more yield opportunities for Bitcoin holders.

What’s Live Now for uniBTC on X Layer

As part of our latest expansion, uniBTC is now bridgeable between Ethereum and X Layer. Users can bridge seamlessly through Bedrock’s dApp, secured by Chainlink CCIP. Here’s a quick guide to bridge your uniBTC between Ethereum and X Layer:

  1. Visit Bedrock’s dApp and connect the Web3 wallet where you store your uniBTC.

  2. Select the origin and destination networks. For example, if your uniBTC is stored on Ethereum, set Ethereum as the origin and X Layer as the destination. The same applies vice versa.

  3. Enter the amount of uniBTC you wish to bridge.

  4. Click “Send”, confirm the transaction, and your bridged uniBTC will appear on the destination network once completed.

In the near future, you’ll be able to explore DeFi pools and yield routes across X Layer’s growing ecosystem — including lending, staking, and liquidity provision through major protocols. Bedrock will also launch a DeFi Earn campaign with OKX Wallet, giving X Layer users even more ways to earn Bitcoin yield directly from their wallets.

Stay tuned for details on supported pools, APR tiers, and campaign rewards.

About Bedrock

Bedrock is the first multi-asset liquid restaking protocol, pioneering Bitcoin staking with uniBTC. As the leading BTC liquid staking token, uniBTC enables holders to earn rewards while maintaining liquidity, unlocking new yield opportunities in Bitcoin's $1T market. With a cutting-edge approach to BTCFi 2.0, Bedrock is redefining Bitcoin's role in DeFi, while integrating ETH and DePIN assets into a unified PoSL framework.

Bedrock continues to expand across chains. Following its recent BR deployment to Solana, Bedrock has now brought uniBTC to the network, further broadening access to BTC-backed yield opportunities. This move is part of a wider push to bring Bedrock to more ecosystems in the months ahead.
