Built for Bitcoin holders

Use your Bitcoin in DeFi without giving up control

Q: What is Bitcoin DeFi?

Bitcoin DeFi means using your Bitcoin in financial tools like trading, lending, and earning without giving up control of your BTC. Many DeFi systems rely on wrapped Bitcoin, but Rujira is built around native Bitcoin so you can do more while staying closer to self custody.

Q: Can I use Bitcoin in DeFi without wrapping it?

Yes. On Rujira, you can use native Bitcoin in DeFi without turning it into a synthetic stand in first. That means fewer custodial detours and fewer extra trust assumptions. If you want the deeper explanation, see Secured Assets.

Q: Do I keep control of my Bitcoin on Rujira?

Yes. Rujira uses a wallet first model, so your Bitcoin stays aligned with self custody instead of being handed over to a centralized platform. You choose when to trade, earn, borrow, or move BTC.

Q: Can I use Bitcoin privately in DeFi?

Yes. Rujira offers an optional privacy layer for Bitcoin DeFi activity, but it is designed to keep bad actors out. The system blocks deposits from OFAC blacklisted addresses and includes Proof of Innocence so legitimate users can show their funds are not linked to illicit activity. That lets you add privacy without turning the system into a safe haven for abuse. For the full walkthrough, see the privacy page.

Q: What can I do with Bitcoin on Rujira?

You can trade, provide liquidity, swap, borrow against BTC, and bid on liquidation opportunities on Rujira. That gives you more than a simple hold or sell choice. If you want the deeper walkthroughs, explore RUJI Trade, RUJI Swap, and RUJI Money Market.

Q: How is native BTC possible on Rujira?

Rujira uses Secured Assets to make native BTC usable across more financial applications without relying on wrapped stand ins. In simple terms, that gives you a way to use real Bitcoin in DeFi while staying closer to the asset you actually hold.

Q: Can I borrow against Bitcoin without selling it?

Yes. You can use Bitcoin as collateral and borrow against it instead of selling the BTC you want to keep. That can help when you want liquidity without giving up your long term position. The RUJI Money Market page explains how borrowing works.

Q: Which wallets can I use with Bitcoin on Rujira?

For Bitcoin on Rujira, the main requirement is a wallet with THORChain support. Good starting options include Keplr, Vultisig, and CTRL Wallet. You can see the broader wallet list on the wallets page.

Q: How do I get started with Bitcoin on Rujira?

Start by connecting a compatible wallet, depositing BTC, and choosing the route that matches your goal, whether that is trading, earning, swapping, or borrowing. If you want the step by step walkthrough first, use Get Started.

Q: How is this different from other DeFi platforms?

Rujira is built around native Bitcoin, self custody, and fairer, more transparent market access instead of asking you to wrap BTC and accept more intermediaries. The goal is to give you more financial tools without pulling you away from the principles that make Bitcoin valuable in the first place.

Access trading, earning, and borrowing with your Bitcoin while staying in full control. No wrapping, no custodians, just real Bitcoin DeFi.

What do you want your Bitcoin to do?

Choose the route that fits what you want to do with your Bitcoin.

New to Bitcoin?

Learn what makes Bitcoin unique

Bitcoin was created as a response to the 2008 financial crisis, with the idea that money should not depend on trust in banks or centralized institutions. It became the first blockchain and is now widely seen as digital gold, built to preserve value over time.

Its design is intentionally simple. With a fixed supply and proof-of-work security, Bitcoin prioritizes decentralization and reliability over flexibility. That makes it powerful as money, but not suited for complex financial applications, which is where systems like Rujira extend what you can do without changing what makes Bitcoin valuable.
