MetaMask (wBTCZ)

Important Notice

This wallet only supports wrapped BitcoinZ (wBTCZ) on Binance Smart Chain, not native BitcoinZ!

For the authentic BitcoinZ experience with maximum privacy, security, and decentralization, we recommend using native BitcoinZ wallets like the Full Node Wallet, Coinomi, or ZelCore.

Understanding Wrapped BitcoinZ (wBTCZ)

What is Wrapped BitcoinZ?

Wrapped BitcoinZ (wBTCZ) is a token on the Binance Smart Chain that represents BitcoinZ. It’s a 1:1 representation of BTCZ on the BSC network, allowing for interaction with BSC’s ecosystem.

Contract Address: 0xcBBB3e5099F769F6d4E2b8b92DC0e268f7E099D8

Key Differences from Native BTCZ

  • Runs on Binance Smart Chain, not the BitcoinZ network
  • Depends on BSC network status and fees
  • Lacks native BTCZ privacy features
  • Centralization risks from BSC
  • Different security model

The Bridge System

How the Bridge Works

  1. Visit https://bridge.btcz.rocks/
  2. Connect your MetaMask wallet
  3. Lock BTCZ on the native network
  4. Receive wBTCZ on BSC
  5. Reverse process to return to native BTCZ

Bridge Considerations

  • Technical knowledge required
  • Understanding of cross-chain operations needed
  • Transaction fees on both networks
  • Potential bridge downtime
  • Smart contract risks

Expert Recommendations

When to Use wBTCZ

  • DeFi participation
  • BSC ecosystem integration
  • Smart contract interaction
  • Lower fee requirements
  • Cross-chain operations

When to Use Native BTCZ

  • Maximum privacy needed
  • True decentralization required
  • Long-term holding
  • Direct peer-to-peer transfers
  • Privacy-focused transactions

  • Technical assistance

Remember: Wrapped BitcoinZ on BSC is an advanced feature for experienced users. For typical transactions and maximum security, we recommend using native BitcoinZ wallets. The wrapped version sacrifices some of BitcoinZ’s core benefits (privacy, decentralization, security) for BSC ecosystem access and should be used cautiously.
