Asymmetric Research joins Stacks as core security contributor for sBTC
The Stacks Foundation has announced that security firm Asymmetric Research has joined its eco as a key security contributor, reinforcing efforts around its Bitcoin Layer 2 solution
According to a press release shared with crypto.news, Asymmetric Research will support the security of sBTC, a new asset expected to be released later this year.
SBTC will enable developers to build decentralized financial applications using Bitcoin (BTC).
Asymmetric Research has extensive experience securing high-profile blockchain projects, having worked with Wormhole (W), Solana (SOL), and Cosmos (ATOM). In its new role with Stacks (STX), Asymmetric will focus on auditing the security of sBTC and become part of the Stacks Signer Network.
This network comprises multiple parties responsible for safeguarding the process of moving Bitcoin into and out of the sBTC eco.
sBTC
The sBTC asset will be backed 1:1 by Bitcoin, meaning every sBTC will represent one Bitcoin. This will allow users to interact with Bitcoin in decentralized applications without leaving the Bitcoin network.
This integration will enable Bitcoin to be used in decentralized finance, a financial built on blockchain technology without the need for traditional intermediaries. Adding Asymmetric strengthens Stacks’ security efforts, involving more than 30 institutional node operators, including companies like BitGo, Blockdaemon, and Copper
The network’s decentralized nature reduces the risk of relying on a single entity, offering a more secure option for moving Bitcoin within the eco.
To further bolster security, the Stacks Foundation has launched initiatives such as a bug bounty program and ongoing audits, ensuring that sBTC will be protected at multiple levels once it goes live.
