Bitcoin (BOB), a hybrid layer 2 (L2) blockchain, has launched Bob Gateway. Bob Gateway connects one-click on and off-ramps to bitgo’s wbtc.oft, including Etherm, Avalanche, Base, BNB Chain, Unisyism, Opricism, Sei, Bob and more, one-click on and off-ramps that connect native Bitcoin to the 11-layer Zero Support Blockchain.
This update comes with Bob’s Bitcoin Intents System and Layerzero standard. It enables instant native BTC↔WBTC.oft transfers and provides nearly 15,000 decentralized applications on those chains with the ability to accept Bitcoin deposits directly through the gateway SDK. Bob said the integration will simplify cross-chain flow by replacing complex bridging processes with streamlined transformations and maintain the regulatory custody of all WBTC tokens while injecting fresh BTC liquidity into decentralized finance (DEFI). Bob co-founders Alexei Zamiyachin and Layer Zero Simon Baxy both highlighted access and user experience as central benefits, but noted that the company would expand support for chains such as Sonyum, Bella and Sonic.
