What is BOB (Build on Bitcoin), a hybrid Bitcoin Layer-2 network?

BOB (Build on Bitcoin) is a hybrid Bitcoin Layer-2 network that combines Bitcoin security through merged mining with Ethereum Virtual Machine programmability. The network is built on the OP Stack and operates within the Optimism Superchain, branded "The Bank of Bitcoin" and targeting BTCFi use cases: BTC staking, lending, swaps, and borrowing. The BOB token launched at TGE on November 20, 2025 as an ERC-20 on the BOB network, with contract representations on Ethereum and BNB Chain.

How does BOB's hybrid Bitcoin Layer-2 design work?

BOB's network combines Bitcoin proof-of-work security with Ethereum Virtual Machine programmability. A merged-mining setup lets the Layer-2 inherit Bitcoin's security model. Contract execution runs on the OP Stack, placing BOB within the Optimism Superchain. The hybrid design targets two audiences: Bitcoin holders seeking yield and DeFi access, and EVM developers building Bitcoin-adjacent applications.

What is the maximum supply in BOB tokenomics?

BOB has a fixed maximum supply of 10,000,000,000 tokens, matching its total supply, with no inflationary issuance. Ecosystem & Community holds the largest allocation at 44.76%. Early Backers hold 20.09%, Core Contributors 19.00%, and the Foundation 10.00%. Initial Claims & Staking Bonuses account for 4.15% and the Community Sale 2.00%. Backers and contributors together control 39.09% of supply, which concentrates the unlock overhang among insiders.

How is the BOB token used across BTCFi applications?

The BOB token serves three network functions: paying fees, governance voting, and staking with bonus multipliers. Staking rewards apply only to liquid tokens. Locked allocations cannot be staked, so rewards accrue exclusively to liquid community holders. The token also provides access to incentive participation across the network's BTCFi applications, which cover BTC staking, lending, swaps, and borrowing.

What does BOB's vesting and unlock schedule mean for investors?

BOB's vesting schedule concentrates future sell pressure among early backers and core contributors. About 22.2% of supply was circulating at the November 20, 2025 token generation event; the full 10 billion BOB unlocks over 48 months. Early Backer tokens (20.09%) and Core Contributor tokens (19.00%) unlock linearly over 36 months after a 12-month cliff. Those cliffs expire around November 2026, when insider unlocking begins in volume. The fixed 10B cap removes inflation risk from new issuance.

The BOB Fusion campaign launched May 1, 2024 and awarded Spice points for activity across the BOB app. Spice tiers gated eligibility for the 415M-token claim and the community-sale allocation, reserved for top Spice holders and the top 2,000 Cookie snappers.

Where can I buy BOB token?

BOB trades on both centralized and decentralized venues. Centralized listings span spot pairs quoted in USD, EUR, and USDT, with Kraken and KuCoin the top-tier names among predominantly mid-tier venues. Decentralized liquidity sits on Uniswap V4 on Ethereum, against the Ethereum-side BOB contract. DropsTab lists no derivatives markets for BOB. On BingX the token appears under the GOBOB ticker; that label is a venue naming variance for the same asset.
