The Bitcoin Cross-Chain Era
summary
Panelists describe a working pipeline that lets mainnet Bitcoin move into Cosmos with CK BTC custody via ICP’s on‑chain MPC/chain‑key primitive (ICP stores full Bitcoin UTXO state and smart contracts can hold ~400 GB), Omnity runs light clients on a proxy subnet to verify BTC, and Osmosis already routes BTC to Kepler wallets; currently 90–95% of on‑chain BTC liquidity is wBTC, so Osmosis builds alloy BTC baskets with per‑source caps (eg 5%) to limit bridge risk while preserving fungibility.
