Hey hey @Starknet thought BTCFi came with the same trade off every time. either park your BTC on an exchange, or accept that every move is visible onchain. been looking into strkBTC and the flow feels different. you can move BTC from your own wallet into Starknet through GardenFi, receive strkBTC, and keep your BTC exposure instead of swapping out of Bitcoin. the part that stood out to me was shielding. Xverse lets you shield strkBTC first, then AVNU supports private swap flows for shielded assets. Endur also supports private liquid staking, while Vesu, Ekubo, and Troves give you more ways to use BTC across Starknet. doesn’t mean the risks disappear. bridge risk, smart contract risk, liquidity risk, and market risk are still there. shielding is optional too, not automatic. what stands out is the direction. a lot of BTCFi focuses on making BTC more productive. this feels more like giving holders another way to use BTC while keeping more control over what becomes publicly visible by default. curious how others are using it. would you keep strkBTC shielded from the start, or only before using DeFi?
