BTC liquidity and yield infrastructure layer for the Move ecosystem — bridges native, wrapped and liquid-staked Bitcoin into unified receipt tokens (aBTC, mBTC) plus a lending market and yield strategies.
Lock any BTC standard into Echo's vault to mint aBTC 1:1 against reserves, then route that liquidity across restaking and yield venues — each with its own APY and risk.
Supply aBTC into the Aptos money market to earn variable yield, boosted by APT incentives. Chainlink primary / Pyth fallback oracles secure the collateral.
Every minted aBTC is meant to be backed 1:1 by BTC locked in custody across Bitcoin, BSquared and Bitlayer. Echo publishes reserve attestations, but a continuously audited on-chain reconciliation is not yet surfaced.

Bitcoin is the largest crypto asset by market cap but mostly idle. Multiple BTC standards (native, wrapped, LSTs) fragment liquidity across chains — and the fast-growing Move ecosystem (Aptos, Movement) had no native BTC liquidity layer.
Echo unifies fragmented BTC variants into a single chain-specific receipt token (aBTC, mBTC) backed 1:1 by locked reserves, then exposes that liquidity to a money market, yield strategies and leveraged BTC products entirely on-chain.
First BTCfi infrastructure built natively on Move; ~65% of all BTC bridged to Aptos is aBTC. Combines a custodial BTC bridge, an oracle-secured Compound-style money market, and convertible-note leverage (eMSTR) under a single vetwECHO gauge-voting governance.
