Starknet: Bitcoin’s DeFi Domain
Since the rise of Bitcoin L2s in 2023, most of BTCFi’s earning capacity came from token-incentivized liquidity programs. These programs offered parking liquidity in underutilized pools, which resulted in short shelf lives.
This model is unsustainable for two reasons. First, incentives are finite. Second, users are left constantly searching for the next opportunity, with no reliable place to deploy their BTC long-term.
