## Assets

- [stBTC (STBTC)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/botanix_labs): STBTC is a liquid staking token representing staked Bitcoin on Botanix, a Bitcoin Layer 2 blockchain. It follows the ERC-4626 standard and accrues Bitcoin-denominated yield from network fees. The token allows holders to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity, enabling them to use their staked Bitcoin in DeFi applications without waiting for unstaking periods.
