Bridge

TaoFi’s bridge allows users to bridge USDC from Ethereum and receive taoUSD on Bittensor EVM. Users can also bridge taoUSD from Bittensor EVM to receive USDC on Ethereum. USDC can be converted to taoUSD 1-to-1. Interchain communication is provided by Hyperlane.

Idle USDC on Ethereum earns yield via whitelisted real-world asset providers (“RWAs”). Currently, the only whitelisted RWAs are Superstate’s USTB and Blackrock’s BUIDL. Adding new RWAs is subject to passing a thorough risk management process, with at least 1 week public notice given before funds can be allocated. The split of assets among whitelisted RWAs is determined by Bittensor SN10.

In the future, users will be able to earn the yield from USDC by staking taoUSD on Bittensor EVM.
