Epoch Protocol is a proposed Bitcoin-based liquid staking organization focused on enabling users to stake BTC and receive a liquid representation that can be used in DeFi-like environments. Conceptually, it adapts the liquid staking model—popular on proof-of-stake chains—to Bitcoin, where native staking does not exist and must instead be emulated through sidechains or layer-2 constructions. Public technical detail is still sparse, so it is best understood as an emerging DeFi protocol design rather than a fully standardized system. Epoch Protocol enables users to: 🔒 Stake BTC on OP_NET 🎟️ Receive epBTC (Liquid Staked BTC) as a representation token 💧 Stay liquid while earning yield 📈 Use epBTC across DeFi pools and strategies Instead of simply holding Bitcoin, users can now make it work — without giving up flexibility.
