Many people think that Bitcoin can only be hoarded, sold when it rises, and held when it falls, as if there’s nothing else to do but wait for price changes. However, in reality, more and more technologies are changing this situation, allowing the holding of BTC itself to generate actual returns without sacrificing security or control. Currently, most Bitcoin holders who want to participate in yield-generating financial activities often need to lock their BTC on third-party platforms or convert it into cross-chain tokens, transferring it to other blockchains that support smart contracts. This method not only increases the risk of asset exposure but also relies on the trust endorsement of multiple intermediaries, which deviates from the original intention of Bitcoin's decentralization. The BitVM bridge launched by @build_on_bob changes this status quo. It allows users to directly access DeFi applications within the Bitcoin network using native BTC, without wrapping, cross-chain transfers, or relinquishing asset control. Through BitVM technology, complex contract logic can be executed off-chain and verified by the Bitcoin network, thereby expanding functionality for lending, staking, and automated strategies without modifying the underlying protocol. This advancement enables Bitcoin itself to support a variety of financial applications while retaining its security and trustless characteristics. Users can now participate in yield activities without leaving the Bitcoin main chain, reducing risk and enhancing capital efficiency. As the ecosystem develops, more native financial tools will gradually be launched, providing BTC holders with more direct, transparent, and secure ways to utilize value. #BuildOnBOB #SNAPS #Bitcoin #DeFi #CookieFun @cookiedotfun
