The Eidoo wallet and ecosystem was built upon the Ethereum network. For this reason, you cannot use your Bitcoin (BTC) to interact with a variety of our in-app services and features, as it has its own native blockchain. As a decentralized wallet, this also means you cannot swap directly your Bitcoin for Ethereum’s native token Ether (ETH) or ERC-20 tokens.
However, we’ve now made it easy to make your Bitcoin Ethereum-compatible!
You can transform your Bitcoin into an ERC-20 token using your Eidoo wallet thanks to our latest integration with pTokens.io. You can deposit your BTC and mint your own pBTC tokens (peg-in) and redeem your pBTC for your original BTC (peg-out) any time you like. The pBTC token is pegged 1:1 with Bitcoin, meaning that one pBTC is always equal to one BTC You can swap pBTC with the following tokens: ETH, USDT, USDC, DAI.
Before proceeding, be sure to update your app to the latest version available through the url https://eidoo.app.
