Brotocol BroBridge is a MPC-based hybrid bi-directional bridge that acts as a 'connector' between Bitcoin and other blockchains, enabling anyone to move between chains beyond the limitation of just EVM-based bridges.
Bridging shouldn’t suck—high fees and sketchy paths are out. Brotocol’s your crypto bro, offering:
Lowest Fees: Just 0.1% to bridge native Bitcoin to EVM chains.
Most Bridge Paths: Supports 18+ networks, including non-EVM.
Rock-Solid Security: MPC-based for stress-free transfers.
Seamless Swaps Across Chains: Allowing users to swap to any assets from native Bitcoin to EVM tokens back and forth.
If you are bridging 1 $BTC—how much do you keep, let’s see the table below:
🔴: No direct bridge but requires the use of CEX deposit/withdrawal and does not include withdrawal fees
Beyond the savings, Brotocol has the most BTC-friendly route possible!
When you want to move assets (like Bitcoin) from one network to another, Brotocol handles the process, making sure everything happens securely.
Here’s how it work:
You start by deciding how much you want to bridge on our UI (e.g: Native $BTC → Arb’s $WBTC)
We lock that amount in a multisig wallet.
Once network confirmed, our validators unlock the equivalent on your target chain (e.g., $WBTC on Arbitrum).
Done—You pay 0.1% fee once.
Here are Brotocol numbers by the numbers (As of 25th March):
Total Bridged Volume: $336.5M+
TVL: $51.1M+
Supported Chains: 18
Total Bridge TXs: 44.8K+
Unique User Counts: 20.1K+

Limited Network Support: Most centralized exchanges (CEXs) don’t support depositing $WBTC on Arbitrum or other low-TVL EVM chains, reducing liquidity and options.
High and Unpredictable Costs: Moving $BTC across EVM and non-EVM chains is expensive and inconsistent due to fees (bridging, swapping, withdrawals) and liquidity issues.
Complex CEX Workarounds: Users must either bridge Arbitrum’s $WBTC to Ethereum’s $WBTC and deposit/withdraw via CEX, or swap to $ETH, deposit, trade, and withdraw—both costly and often requiring KYC.
Lack of Bridge Options: Popular bridges (e.g., Wormhole, Stargate) rarely offer consistent paths between chains like Arbitrum, BNB, or Ethereum for $BTC variants.
Poor User Experience: Different $BTC versions vary in support, cost, and ease of movement, creating a confusing and inefficient onboarding process that limits chain adoption.
Let’s take Arbitrum’s $WBTC as a quick example.
Arbitrum’s $WBTC moves $1.3B/month on Uniswap and holds $243M in Aave deposits (March 25, 2025). Bridging it to native BTC? A mess—until Brotocol:
Old Way: CEX swaps, high fees, or no paths.
Brotocol Way: 0.1% fee, direct to BTC, 18+ chain options.
Demand for EVM BTC is huge—Brotocol makes it flow.
