BTC PROXYMy name is Donnie and I am the founder of BTC Proxy and also the CTO of Kryptoin. . Our focus is the intersection of Bitcoin and ETFs which are Exchange traded Products

Kryptoin is in the regulated Asset Management space where our Directors have managed over 70 Billion and managed the GLD which was the largest Gold ETF. We are also currently engaged in the application for a US Bitcoin ETF.

There are many similarities in Exchange Traded Funds and Stable Coin structures and we have applied these fundamentals to BTC Proxy so that it can be qualified for institutional usage

Tag: What are the competitive advantages of BTC PROXY compared to other projects?

BTC PROXY: there are a few unique features of BTC Proxy. BTC Proxy is an institutional grade Bitcoin Bridge that is built on Polygon/Matic

Using our protocol will allow you to:

Mint a BTCpx with No Ethereum gas fees – this is because our backbone is on Matic L2

BTC can be wrapped into ERC20 and MRC20 (Matic)

Insured Custody – the BTC that is deposited goes straight to the custodian and is insured

$PRXY is the governance token and can be used to Farm Bitcoin

Tag: Now please share with us some upcoming events, as well as big partners BTC PROXY has been working with during development period.

BTC PROXYBTC Proxy was incubated by Alphabit Digital Currency Fund

We have direct investment by Matic

A195 Capital is our Liquidity Provider

We are part of the TDeFi accelerator program

and we have investment by over 20 different funds altogether

we just recently launched on @Launchpoolxyz

and 14M was staked in the project

To continue, we turn to Segment 2: Answer the selected Twitter questions.

First of all, I would like to say thanks to Tag’s members who have sent many questions about BTC Proxy to us..

Tag: The first question’s from @ValerieElash4
Can you list killer features of BTC proxy that makes it ahead of its competitors? What is the competitive advantage your platform has that you feel most confident about?

BTC PROXY: BTC Proxy was built for the Institutions

so it is the safest/cheapest protocol there is

for wrapping BTC to erc20 and mrc20

Gasless Minting – no metamask fees required to mint BTCpx

PRXY Governance token can Farm Bitcoin
Insured Custody for your Bitcoin
Staking Marketplace for both ERC20 and MRC20

Tag:  The second question’s from @SudilZacharias
I check your DEX and it says, Currently in Beta Testnet – Do not send real Bitcoin. So I want to try out your beta testnet, where can I get test tokens? Also do you have any bug bounty and reward programs for people who are using your Testnet and report bugs to you?

BTC PROXYTest tokens can be found on the internet by searching ‘testnet bitcoin faucet’

you will need a metamask wallet that is on the Goerli network

We may have a bug bounty reward program but we have not yet established this

Tag: It’s from @Lidiamga
Bitcoin Proxy enables the BTC holders to participate in BTC / Token trades and having a greater liquidity to ETH based applications, specifically in which centralized exchanges and DApps can this technological gap of BTC Proxy be used? Some examples?

BTC PROXY: For the general public we will be making the BTCpx token available for minting and redemption on btcpx.io an it will be on Uniswap/Quickswap and some CEX

But for the institutions we will be integrating the protocol on Fireblocks infrastructure to trade with them.

Tag: Next question’s from @HongVit17808452
The $PRXY token has the same limited supply as Bitcoin at 21,000,000 and the Total $PRXY supply will be mined in 2 years. Why would you choose the same supply as Bitcoin and prioritize speeding up the mining process for 2 years over another longer period?

BTC PROXY: Because we are a Bitcoin Proxy and we thought that it would make sense to have some of the same features of Bitcoin

such at 21M total suppl

this supply will be mined over 2 years and we believe this is long enough for us to reach our goals and when the value of the token can support the full supply

Tag: The last question’s from @Alviraafrin39
The product is developed, one of the main challenges seems to be adoption. What are some of the plans to stimulate adoption and build out the ecosystem around # Lever network?

BTC PROXYBTC Proxy belongs to TdeFi accelerator and within this ecosystem

this is a group of companies and projects that are meant to speed up adoption

we already have agreements in place to integrate with banks and other protocols

Tag: What are the ways that generates income/revenue to maintain your project and what is its revenue model?also How can it make benefit win-win to both invester and your project ?

BTC PROXYThe way that the protocol generates income is from 0.1% to Mint and 0.3% to Redeem

these are fees to use the protocol – these fees are then shared with the community and offered to $PRXY governance token stakers

Tag: Smart contracts are prone to failure and many projects fall victim to this, costing users money and the project discrediting. How reliable and secure is your smart contract? Have you audit it through any of the parties?

BTC PROXY: We have undergone penetration testing and security audit with Quillhash

we have integrated with Hex Trust and ERC20/MRC20 and will soon integrate with Gemini custody and BSC

Tag: One of the direct investor in your project is MATIC and BTCpx will operate as a Layer 2 protocol which will run on MATIC network. I saw that MATIC and proxy has been working together since 2017 with Kryptoin (the parent company of BTC Proxy). Was it because of this familiar relationship that made you to launch your project on MATIC or are there any technological advantages that you have identified on MATIC which will best suit the scope of your project? Are you planning to expand your Bitcoin bridge operation to other promising network like BSC, Polkadot, Solana and others?

BTC PROXYWe were working with the founder of Matic in 2017 before he formed that company

we chose Matic at the time not because it was popular as it is now but because it served the purpose of saving gas fees

and we are no able to offer gasless tx to mint BTCpx due to Matic L2

Tag: Thank you to be here and share with us such helpful information Mr. Donnie
