Polkadot vs Wrapped Bitcoin: Key Differences
Polkadot (DOT) runs on the Polkadot relay chain using Nominated Proof-of-Stake, built primarily for cross-chain interoperability between parachains. Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) runs on Ethereum (ERC-20) using 1:1 custodial BTC backing, known for bringing Bitcoin liquidity into DeFi. Swapping DOT to WBTC lets you rotate exposure from a multi-chain interoperability network into tokenized Bitcoin in one step, without selling to fiat first.
