We are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between Native and C4E to bring utility for Bitcoin to the Cosmos and IBC ecosystem. This collaboration aims to unlock significant value for C4E users by leveraging Native’s cutting-edge technology stack for Bitcoin programmability and interoperability.

C4E is Depin L1 Blockchain that was built as a foundation for a decentralized community-driven energy and e-mobility markets.  Meanwhile, Native’s Bitcoin Liquidity and Interoperability Scaling Stack (BLISS) is designed to unlock Bitcoin’s full potential by enhancing its scalability, programmability, and cross-chain capabilities. By combining C4E’s expertise in decentralized infrastructure with Native’s innovative technology for Bitcoin, the partnership will empower both projects to bring new use cases and economic opportunities to their respective communities. 

‍Enabling IBC Access to native Bitcoin

In the short term, our primary goal is to integrate Native's Bitcoin Liquidity and Interoperability Scaling Stack (BLISS) with C4E’s existing infrastructure, providing users with seamless IBC access to native Bitcoin. This means that C4E users will soon be able to interact with Bitcoin across the IBC ecosystem, opening up new possibilities for decentralized finance (DeFi), cross-chain transfers, and multi-chain liquidity management.

Integrating with C4E is a significant step forward in bringing Bitcoin’s liquidity and security to the IBC ecosystem. By leveraging Native’s Zero Trust architecture, we’re enabling C4E users to access native Bitcoin seamlessly, paving the way for new staking services, cross-chain functionality, and robust financial applications across IBC-connected chains - Robert Zaremba, Co-founder and tech lead of Native.

This milestone will make native Bitcoin more accessible to the C4E chain through IBC, enabling users to leverage Bitcoin’s unparalleled security while interacting with a broad range of Cosmos-based DeFi protocols. Whether you’re looking to enhance liquidity pools, deploy BTC as collateral, or explore new trading strategies, the addition of Bitcoin into the IBC network will create a wealth of new opportunities for C4E’s community.

‍Expanding Staking Services and Security through Bitcoin Restaking

Looking ahead, the partnership between our projects also sets the stage for developing advanced staking services using Bitcoin. We envision a future where BTC holders can not only access staking derivatives but also provide additional security to the IBC ecosystem through innovative mechanisms like Bitcoin restaking.

By building a robust framework for BTC staking and derivatives, C4E users could earn staking rewards or contribute to network security by locking up their Bitcoin in secure contracts. This should open up new use cases for Bitcoin within the Cosmos ecosystem, turning it from a passive store of value into an active security participant for IBC-connected chains.

‍The Future of Bitcoin in the IBC Ecosystem

With Native’s unique zero-trust architecture, based on 2PC-MPC protocols, and C4E’s strong presence in the IBC network, this partnership is poised to redefine how Bitcoin interacts with the broader blockchain ecosystem. We believe that integrating Bitcoin’s value and security into the Cosmos through IBC will enhance the capabilities of both ecosystems, paving the way for new financial primitives and cross-chain innovations.

Stay tuned for more updates as we work together to bring these solutions to life!
