Starknet Launches strkBTC to Advance Bitcoin Privacy in DeFi

Starknet has launched strkBTC, a new Bitcoin wrapper that promises to bring enhanced privacy features to decentralized finance (DeFi) without compromising on performance.

strkBTC allows for shielded balances and transfers, enabling private Bitcoin transactions within DeFi ecosystems.
