Ran a small test on @beyond__tech to see if the Avalanche ➤ Bitcoin flow is really “no bridges, no custody.” Locked a bit of AVAX in the Source Contract, LayerZero’s messenger fired, and Forge minted wAVAX on Bitcoin almost instantly. After 6+ blocks, the Registry + Indexer confirmed, and the position was immutable. No wrappers to babysit, just Bitcoin finality doing the heavy lifting
What stood out ↓
• Tri-Directional routing: bring $USDT/$ETH into Bitcoin L1, move $ORDI/$DOG out to Solana/Base
• Cross-standard swaps: BRC-20 Runes without leaving L1, kills fragmentation
• 140+ chains connected while preserving self-custody and transparency
• Early-user incentives: 4% of total $BYD reserved for the community
• Mainnet lands Q4 this feels like core infra, not a gimmick
If you had native BTC liquidity plugged into DeFi without custodians, what would you route first?
