Starknet, a project focused on increasing the speed of the Ethereum network, has partnered with BTC wallet Xverse to bring a full DeFi experience to Bitcoin users. The partnership aims to integrate with Starknet in Q2 2025 and scale the Bitcoin network from 13 TPS to thousands. The challenge has been Bitcoin's lack of programmability compared to Ethereum, but layer 2 solutions like Starknet can address this by acting as an execution layer. While the adoption of a proposed implementation called OP_CAT remains uncertain, Xverse plans to provide a Bitcoin DeFi experience using trust assumptions until OP_CAT is adopted. The ultimate goal is to achieve trustless DeFi on Bitcoin.
