CBTC gives asset managers institutional-grade exposure to Bitcoin on Canton Network, with rewards funded by Canton's Featured App program rather than by Bitcoin earnings. BTC is held 1:1 in FROST threshold custody, governed by the Decentralized Party.
Asset managers commit BTC to the program by minting CBTC. The CBTC is deployed across Canton venues, lending markets, or AMMs, either directly or through market makers. The Featured App rewards generated by that activity are shared back with the LP.
