The next chapter in Bitcoin’s evolution is here. With the launch of Mezo, Bitcoin takes yet another step into a new financial era—one where BTC holders can stake, borrow, spend, and more without ever selling their Bitcoin.
At Chorus One, we’re proud to support this pivotal moment, and support BTC staking on Mezo.
Yes, you read that right: you can now stake your BTC—and earn rewards—through a network purpose-built for Bitcoin-native DeFi. Sound good? Then let’s dive in!
Despite being the most secure and decentralized asset in crypto, Bitcoin has remained mostly passive. Its limited scripting language design doesn’t allow for native smart contracts, staking, or the kinds of applications that have fueled the DeFi explosion on Ethereum and other chains.
Mezo changes that, bringing functionality to Bitcoin itself.
It’s a Bitcoin-first, EVM-compatible Layer 1 designed to transform BTC into a productive financial asset. Built using the Cosmos SDK and anchored by tBTC, the most trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge in production, Mezo enables users to do more with their BTC—while retaining full custody and sovereignty. To support this, Mezo introduces a dual-environment architecture designed to balance security and innovation:
From staking and fixed-rate lending to Bitcoin-backed stablecoins and on-chain spending, Mezo is building the core primitives that allow Bitcoin to become more than a store of value. It becomes the foundation for a circular, user-owned economy.
With Mezo’s mainnet launch comes an expansion in Bitcoin utility. BTC holders can now stake their Bitcoin (or wrapped variants like tBTC or WBTC) directly into the Mezo network. In doing so, they help secure the protocol and, in return, earn Mezo Points, a native rewards system that will evolve into BTC-based incentives as the network matures.
Staking durations are flexible—where users can choose between 2, 6, or 9 months. The longer your commitment, the higher your reward multiplier. Everything is on-chain, and designed to uphold Bitcoin’s ethos of decentralization.
