What is the Threshold Network?

Threshold Network powers tBTC, the Bitcoin standard in finance, and the most decentralized 1:1 tokenized Bitcoin.

tBTC enables Bitcoin liquidity to move seamlessly across chains without compromising settlement finality. Built on threshold cryptography and secured by a rotating network of independent node operators, it distributes control of Bitcoin so that no single entity can act alone on funds.

This structure upholds Bitcoin’s core principles of being trust-minimized, permissionless, and censorship-resistant while maintaining a direct and verifiable path back to native Bitcoin. No complex staking mechanics needed.

Threshold Network's T token is the value accrual and governance asset for the network.

Threshold Network has been managed by Threshold Labs (TLabs) since February 2025, following the approval of DAO proposals TIP-098 and TIP-100. Threshold Labs, led by MacLane Wilkison and Callan Sarre, handles operations, development, and growth of the protocol and tBTC.
