Threshold Network

Threshold Network (Threshold)

Threshold Network is a decentralized blockchain protocol and ecosystem focused on making Bitcoin usable across onchain finance (“BitcoinFi”), primarily by powering tBTC, a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed, decentralized wrapped Bitcoin used in DeFi. (docs.threshold.network)

What it does

• Powers tBTC: tBTC is designed to move Bitcoin liquidity across chains while maintaining a verifiable, redeemable relationship to native BTC (i.e., it is intended to remain 1:1 backed). (docs.threshold.network)
• Uses threshold cryptography: Threshold describes its security approach as “threshold cryptography,” where control is distributed across independent operators so that no single party can act alone. (docs.threshold.network)
• Decentralized signer model: Threshold’s “About” materials describe tBTC as being secured via a threshold signer model (e.g., “51-of-100”), intended to reduce custodial and single-point-of-failure risks. (threshold.network)

Origins and governance

• Threshold is described as the first on-chain merge between two existing networks and communities: Keep and NuCypher. (threshold.network)
• The T token is described in Threshold documentation as the network’s governance (and value-accrual) asset. (docs.threshold.network)
