TON Core Support for BTC Teleport

BTC Teleport is a unique cross-chain project developed by the RSquad team and TON Foundation, enabling Bitcoin transfers between the Bitcoin network and the TON network—and back—without intermediaries, powered entirely by smart contracts.

During development the RSquad team collaborates closely with both the Bitcoin Core and TON Core teams.

We were glad to support this project by contributing in the following areas:

— Integrating the BTC Teleport node and functionality into the MyTonCtrl validator tool.

— Assisting with updates in both the TON testnet and mainnet, including proposals for validator software upgrades and governance voting for system configurations.

— Researching Extra-currency vs Jetton 2.0 approaches for representing Bitcoin within the TON blockchain.

— Providing consultations and assistance with testing.

As of the latest mainnet validator update on July 28, the MyTonCtrl release already includes BTC Teleport functionality.

We wish the RSquad team success with the BTC Teleport launch!
