Frequently Asked Questions

What's the benefit of integrating the finality gadget with my L2 chain?

Since the integration happens at the consensus layer, all use cases within your ecosystem can opt-in to benefit from instant finality.

It also brings in users and liquidity from the Bitcoin community into your ecosystem.

You chain will be more secure with extra economic security backed by BTC staking.

How can the system bring Bitcoin liquidity to my L2 chain?

We can connect you with a few LST (Liquid Staked Token) providers, allowing users to stake their Bitcoin through these providers and receive LST Bitcoin tokens, which can then be deposited into your L2 chain.

If you choose to use our service, we will assist in integrating with these LST providers.

Who pays for the yield to the BTC stakers?

Since the chain is getting fast finality, Bitcoin users and liquidity, the chain will pay for the yield to the BTC stakers.

This could come from the sequencing fees collected from the users.

If the BTC is restaked to protect other chains, will that make my chain less secure?

No. Restaking increases the staker's risk in exchange for higher yield without reducing the security of your chain.

With restaking, BTC is used to protect both your chain and others. If slashing occurs due to an event on another chain, the total BTC securing your chain may briefly decrease. However, this gap will be quickly filled by new BTC stakers in the security-sharing market, maintaining your chain's overall security.
