• Threshold (T) is one of the best-performing cryptos, rallying by more than 200% since the start of the year.
• The skyrocketing price of Threshold is in anticipation of the tBTC v2 protocol, which is scheduled to launch this month.
• The tBTC v2 protocol will allow BTC holders to stake their coins and earn rewards, increasing Bitcoin’s use in the DeFi space.
• Ahead of the launch, the Threshold team has educated over 7,000 people about the tBTC v2 and Threshold.

Project Review

Threshold Network is one of the newer cryptocurrency projects, only launched in January 2022. Threshold Network merges two decentralized protocols: NuCypher (NU) and Keep Network (KEEP).

The Threshold Network solves blockchains’ online security and privacy concerns using Threshold Cryptography. The technology reduces dependence on trusted parties, allowing for a decentralized tBTC bridge connecting Bitcoin and Ethereum networks.

Threshold aims to accelerate the introduction and use of Bitcoin (BTC) in the decentralized finance space. Its native token, the T token, is primarily used to stake a node. T is also a governance token users can use to earn yield for protecting the network.

Recent Developments

As part of its plan to connect Bitcoin to the DeFi space, the Threshold Network recently launched “It’s Time To Put Your BTC Back To Work.” This would allow BTC holders to stake their coins and earn rewards as part of the tBTC v2 protocol. 

According to Threshold, tBTC is open-source and noncustodial, thus allowing users to remain in control of their private keys and assets. tBTC is also a fully decentralized protocol meaning there is total transparency at all times.

The Threshold team is currently accepting applications for individuals who want to become a Threshold Guardian of the Optimistic Minting protocol. Guardians will be whitelisted on the optimistic minting contract and help protect the network.

Building up the launch, the Threshold team has educated over 7,000 people about tBTC v2, ThresholdUSD, and ThresholdAC. In appreciation, Threshold gifted three participants selected randomly $T40,000.

On Thursday, January 26th, it was announced that the Threshold native token, T, had been listed on America’s biggest exchange, Coinbase. The listing comes just as tBTC prepares to be rolled out.

On the same day, the Threshold team announced the completion of its listing on the world’s largest crypto tracker, CoinMarketCap. Now, users can view the market supply, price, market cap, and other information on CMC.

Future Events

Threshold announced that it was accelerating the launch of the tBTC v2 protocol but without fixing a date for the release. While there is no set date, the Threshold team has said they are working on rolling out the feature this month.

The Threshold team has advised users to move their BTC to self-custody while waiting for the launch of tBTC v2 so they can earn on their Bitcoin holdings.

On the Flipside

• As the Threshold network grows in popularity, scammers have been looking to defraud users by creating alternate websites and Twitter accounts for the project.

• The official Twitter handle for Threshold is @TheTNetwork, while their website is http://threshold.network.
