Stake BTC. Earn Rewards. Help Shape Bitcoin’s Future on Cardano.
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the BTC Grow Staking Testnet — a major step toward bringing Bitcoin-native, non-custodial staking to life on Cardano. This is your chance to test-drive the protocol, earn token rewards, and help refine one of the most secure and composable DeFi systems ever built for BTC.
What Is BTC Grow?
BTC Grow is a permissionless staking protocol for Bitcoin that lets you:
Stake BTC directly from your Bitcoin wallet — no custodians, no other tools
Withdraw anytime — with full control of your BTC
Generate yield via Danogo’s decentralized lending protocol on Cardano
Bridge Bitcoin into the Cardano DeFi ecosystem seamlessly via Wanchain
For the first time, Bitcoin holders can participate in
yield-generating DeFi without giving up custody or relying on centralized infrastructure
