Bitcoin TRC20

When working with Bitcoin TRC20, a tokenized version of Bitcoin that runs on the TRON blockchain using the TRC20 standard. Also known as BTC on TRON, it lets users enjoy Bitcoin’s value while benefiting from TRON’s fast, low‑cost transactions.

The core protocol behind this token is TRC20, TRON’s equivalent of Ethereum’s ERC‑20 token standard. TRC20 defines how tokens are created, transferred, and interacted with on the network, so Bitcoin TRC20 inherits those capabilities. The underlying network, TRON blockchain, a high‑throughput, delegated proof‑of‑stake platform, provides the scalability that makes Bitcoin‑backed tokens practical for everyday payments and DeFi moves.

Moving assets between Bitcoin’s native layer and the TRON ecosystem needs a token bridge, a cross‑chain service that locks Bitcoin on one chain and mints an equivalent token on another. These bridges enable users to swap, lend, or provide liquidity with Bitcoin TRC20 without leaving the TRON environment. Because the bridge handles the lock‑and‑mint process, it also plays a key role in security: any vulnerability could affect the pegged value.

To interact with Bitcoin TRC20 you’ll need a crypto wallet, a software or hardware tool that stores private keys and supports TRC20 tokens. Popular choices include TronLink, Trust Wallet, and hardware options like Ledger that now support TRON‑based assets. A compatible wallet lets you receive, send, and stake Bitcoin TRC20, and also lets you claim airdrops that many projects launch on the TRC20 chain.
