Buy & Swap Bedrock (BR)

From BTCFi 1.0 to 2.0

Bedrock frames its story as a second chapter. BTCFi 1.0, in the site's telling, introduced Bitcoin to DeFi and unlocked yield beyond simple holding — but it was held back by fragmented liquidity, scattered opportunities and limited restaking options, making it hard for users to get good returns efficiently.

BTCFi 2.0 is described as the shift from competing on headline APY to building infrastructure that routes Bitcoin capital intelligently. Bedrock calls itself the yield layer for that shift, giving holders access to institutional credit, DeFi strategies and market yield with full transparency on every source.

The site sums the idea up with a question: Bitcoin is no longer just a store of value, so who routes it best?^{[2], [1]}

How the yield layer works

The process is laid out in three steps. First, deposit: bring BTC into Bedrock via uniBTC, brBTC or upcoming vault products. Second, choose a yield source. Third, use BRclaw to earn smarter.

The yield sources are grouped by risk. Bedrock lists delta-neutral quantitative vaults that aim to capture market premiums regardless of Bitcoin's price direction; DeFi-native vaults focused on liquidity provision; lending and credit vaults using overcollateralised lending for steadier returns; and real-world asset vaults that add exposure to off-chain financial instruments. The site's message is that users decide where their capital goes.

BRclaw is pitched as an AI analyst, risk manager and strategy guide: it analyses yield sources, assesses trade-offs and helps users make allocation decisions with clarity.^{[3], [4], [5]}

Liquid tokens and security

Bedrock's entry points are liquid staking tokens. uniBTC is its BTC liquid staking token, brBTC is described as a multi-protocol BTC derivatives aggregator, and the platform also offers uniETH for ETH and uniIOTX for IoTeX staking. Yield figures shown on the homepage change over time, so check the live site before relying on any number.

Security gets its own section. Bedrock lists audits by BlockSec and PeckShield with cross-firm verification, always-live proof of reserves backing every token, support for the ERC-7730 clear-signing standard so users are not asked to blind-sign, AI-powered round-the-clock monitoring, and Chainlink Secure Mint with CCIP proof of reserve for uniBTC.^{[6], [7]}

Where BR fits

BR is Bedrock's governance and participation token. In the site's words, BR is how you participate in the yield layer itself.

Holders lock BR to influence which strategies get added and how capital is allocated, and gain early access to new yield sources as they come online. Bedrock's short version: BR helps decide where Bitcoin goes.

That makes BR a steering wheel rather than a claim on Bitcoin itself — the people who lock it help shape the menu of strategies other depositors choose from.^[9]

Supply and lock figures

The homepage does not state BR's total supply, how much is locked, or the exact voting rules. Its live counters for holders and capital managed did not render in the page text read for this profile. Those figures are UNKNOWN from the source used here.^[9]
