The Interlay UI connects the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem with Bitcoin. It allows the creation of interBTC and kBTC, a fungible token that represents Bitcoin in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem. interBTC and kBTC are backed by Bitcoin 1:1 and allow redeeming of the equivalent amount of Bitcoins by relying on a collateralized third-party called Vaults. In comparison to other bridge constructions (like tBTC, wBTC, or RenVM) anyone can become an intermediary by depositing collateral making interBTC and kBTC the only truly open system.

The bridge itself follows the detailed specification: Explore the specification »

It is implemented as a collection of open-source Substrate modules using Rust: Explore the implementation »
