Introduction

Problem

The rapid expansion of Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions and sidechains has resulted in fragmentation, which negatively impacts BTCfi scalability. This fragmentation makes it challenging for users to seamlessly move assets between different L2s.

Solution

Persistence One tackles this issue with an intents-based architecture that enables:

• Fast, secure, and zero-slippage cross-chain swaps.
• A more secure and efficient alternative to traditional bridging solutions.

Mission

Persistence One aims to become the primary gateway for cross-chain BTC swaps, focusing on:

• Simplifying the BTCfi user experience.
• Enhancing interoperability across ecosystems.
