An Attempt to Defi Bitcoin
There’s been a lot of fizz over the aftermost two years and phrases tossed about like “decentralized accounts (defi)” or “open finance.” Most of the time, cryptocurrency proponents are talking about the cardinal of defi agenda bill projects congenital on the Ethereum network. Popular defi projects accommodate platforms like Makerdao, Ren, Request Network, Aave, and the Kyber Network. There’s been a lot of money tossed at these projects but they are not after controversy, as a cardinal of defi incidents accept bedeviled investors. Just afresh news.Bitcoin.com appear on Makerdao users suing the Maker Foundation for over $2.5 actor account of uncollateralized assets. A while back, the accessible accounts activity Dforce absent some funds due to a hack, but this anniversary the hacker alternate $25 actor aback to the project.
Atomic Loans Cross-Chain Collateralized Loans
Now there are developers who are attempting to use BTC’s blockchain to actualize defi projects that accord with lending and stablecoins. The two new projects chase the contempo announcement from the creators of the Bitcoin Cash-enforced constructed derivatives agreement Anyhedge. According to the Anyhedge developers, the activity will advantage Cryptophyl’s non-custodial exchange, Detoken.
The website alleged atomic.loans is addition activity attractive to action defi on the BTC alternation by accouterment bodies with the adeptness to advantage cross-chain collateralized loans.

Money on alternation Leverages Rootstock
Another activity in the branch of defi and BTC is the Money on alternation project, which leverages the RSK protocol.
