Nomic Blockchain Launch
summary
Nomic launches a Cosmos-native Bitcoin bridge that turns BTC into nBTC while preserving on-chain Bitcoin ownership; it runs a fully verifying bridge with a Bitcoin client checking headers and proof‑of‑work and a tested Merkle engine (MC) that outperforms others on a 1M‑node updates/sec benchmark. Built on an Orga Rust stack, the staking module is ~10× less code than SDK equivalents. Safety features include an emergency dispersal that returns BTC if validators go down and circuit breakers plus a 10% honest quorum claim. Code drops Oct 27, network activation Oct 30; JS library and interchain deposits (Osmosis, kuira, Lana) are ready.
