Bitway is a Bitcoin-native Layer 1 protocol serving as an Internet Capital Gateway, enabling advanced on-chain finance solutions including yield products, payments, lending, and DeFi infrastructure for BTC holders. The platform aims to bridge traditional finance with Bitcoin's ecosystem through gas-free transactions and sophisticated yield strategies.
$BTW is the native utility and governance token of the Bitway ecosystem, used for network security via staking, governance voting, fee benefits, and gaining exclusive access to premium products and rewards.
In January 2026, Bitway successfully closed its $4.444 million Seed round led by TRON DAO with participation from HTX Ventures. This round, building upon prior backing from YZi Labs, brought the project's total institutional funding to over $5.8 million and supports the expansion of its Bitcoin L1 infrastructure.
