Product Updates and News
Oct 9, 2024
We’re always looking to give our users more avenues to interact with the Bitcoin ecosystem. This includes apps that can show them new and improved ways of engaging with protocols as developers continue to build upon existing innovations on Bitcoin.
Our September app partners are doing just that.
Introducing Leather’s New Partners
In addition to engaging in more efficient swaps in-app thanks to our integration with Bitflow Finance, users can also connect their wallet to an atomic swap provider for more swap options. Ordinals collectors can now make use of a platform dedicated to Ordinals creators to try their hand at inscribing their own collections, and Bitcoin DeFi enthusiasts can now put their assets to use on a liquid staking protocol.
Oviato: Made For Ordinals creators
Oviato is a platform made for Ordinals creators. The app’s Studio feature, in particular, makes it especially easy for creators looking to inscribe entire collections. Additionally, users can take advantage of Oviato’s Canvas tool to lay out their artwork ahead of the inscription process. Oviato effectively simplifies the inscription process by also focusing on creator tools, giving it a unique place in the Ordinals ecosystem.
CTRL: Innovating with Ordinals
At this point, CTRL is a name that is no stranger to the Ordinals community. Their two collections – Seize CTRL and n0 0rdinary kind – have already demonstrated how art and Bitcoin technology can come together to reshape how we think of art on the blockchain. Namely, CTRL has sought to embody the Bitcoin ethos and point people towards a future where self-custody and decentralized financial systems are the norm. Their latest collection, n0 0rdinary kind, in particular, has demonstrated how innovative art forms can rally an entire community around a strong vision, and how Bitcoin does have a place in the ever-evolving world of digital art.
pSTAKE: Secure access to Bitcoin yield
pSTAKE is a Bitcoin yield protocol backed by Binance Labs. More specifically, it is a BTC staking solution built on the Babylon infrastructure that gives users an accessible way to earn returns on their Bitcoin holdings. The protocol also has a governance and incentivization token, PSTAKE. Ultimately, the pSTAKE team’s main goal is to unlock Bitcoin and demonstrate how it can be a more active, effective yield-bearing asset for all DeFi users.
Mises Browser: The next-generation web3 browser
Mises Browser is the first mobile web3 browser that offers users a fast and secure mobile browser experience. Its key features include support for Chrome extensions and a web3 dApp aggregator that allows users to explore apps that they may like. DeFi users can also tap into Mises’ cross-chain swap aggregator that includes the likes of 1inch and OKX, along with web3 domain name resolution.
Jing.Cash: Atomic swaps with BTC and STX
Without a doubt, swaps are increasingly in demand for uses. Jing.Cash facilitates cross-chain atomic swaps between the Stacks L2 token (STX) and Bitcoin. On Jing, STX is the traded asset, and STX holder can choose to lock their tokens and set an asking price in satoshis for BTC holders to bid on. This creates a trustless, peer-to-peer market between STX and BTC holders.
Conclusion
At Leather, we carefully vet each and every one of our potential partners to make sure that our users can seamlessly continue their Bitcoin experience beyond the Leather extension itself. This past September, we introduced another set of partners that are pushing the envelope on what’s possible on Ordinals, DeFi, and more.
