Wrapped BTC

Private Wrapped Bitcoin. No public trail.

Swap and trade WBTC from a private account with no visible link to your wallet. Redacted keeps your Wrapped Bitcoin activity on-chain, but not tied to you.

The problem

What a public WBTC address gives away

WBTC brings Bitcoin to Ethereum, and with it Ethereum’s transparency. The wrapped balance, every DeFi position built on it and the address that minted or redeemed it can all be traced.

How it works

Three steps, one signature

  1. 1

    Connect and sign once

    Use MetaMask, Rabby, Keplr, Trust or the wallet you already have. One message derives your private account.

  2. 2

    Move WBTC into your Reserve

    Your WBTC joins a shared Reserve where everyone’s deposits sit together as encrypted notes.

  3. 3

    Act from Spending

    Swap and trade from a private account. Your browser makes a proof for each action and a node carries it on-chain.

FAQ

Private WBTC, answered

Is it real WBTC or a wrapped copy?+

WBTC enters through its THORChain pool (ETH.WBTC), the same asset that trades on THORChain and Rujira.

Can people still see my WBTC balance?+

Your deposit from a public wallet is a visible event. After that, your WBTC sits among everyone else’s in the shared Reserve, and what you do from your private Spending account has no visible link to the wallet you came from.

Do I need a new wallet or a seed phrase for private WBTC?+

No. You connect the wallet you already have and sign one message. Your private account is derived from that signature, and an encrypted backup makes it independent of the wallet.

Is WBTC always available?+

WBTC trades through THORChain and Rujira. Pools and markets can be paused or changed by those networks, so check the app for what is open right now.
