View ChartBounceBit (BB) is a CeDeFi infrastructure project and EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed to bring tokenised real-world assets and institutional-grade collateral into crypto markets. Launched in 2024, it combines a Proof-of-Stake settlement layer with an institutional collateral framework. The platform enables BTC holders to restake their assets while integrating centralised and decentralised finance models. BB has a maximum supply of 2.1 billion tokens, all of which are counted in total supply. On 22 August 2026, after an attacker exploited an authorization flaw and drained 286.5 million BB tokens from nine wallets, BounceBit permanently shut down BounceBit Chain, the Layer 1 it had run since May 2024.
BounceBit was founded by Jack Lu, who serves as Founder and CEO. Jack Lu is Founder and CEO of BounceBit; he is also a co-founder of Bounce Finance and a partner at NGC Ventures. The project is backed by a well-connected team with support from top-tier venture capital. In February 2024, BounceBit raised $6 million in a seed round. Backers include Binance Labs, Breyer Capital, Blockchain Capital, OKX Ventures, dao5, CMS, Bankless Ventures, NGC, and Mirana, among other investors. Angel investors include XinJun Liang, Nathan, Calvin, Jessy, Kevin, Ashwin, George Lambeth, Pranay Mohan, James Parillo, RookieXBT, MacnBTC, and Pentosh1.
BounceBit operates as an EVM-compatible Proof-of-Stake Layer 1 that separates custody, execution, and onchain accounting. Under the dual-token PoS design, validators stake both BTC and BB, so network security draws on Bitcoin's liquidity alongside the BB token. Validators record and verify transactions, receiving transaction fees as rewards. The platform integrates a CeFi model using Mainnet Digital's custody services and Ceffu's MirrorX technology, allowing BTC to maintain its on-chain presence while engaging in trading activities on centralised exchanges. A BTC Bridge facilitates secure transfers between the Bitcoin network and EVM chains. The BB-Token Standard (V3) introduces rebasing, yield-embedded voucher tokens such as BBUSD and BBTC, minted when users subscribe to V3 vaults, usable across DEXs, money markets, perpetuals, and staking.
BounceBit distinguishes itself through its CeDeFi model, which bridges centralised finance custody with decentralised finance execution. BounceBit is one of the earlier chains to combine BTC restaking with a CeDeFi collateral framework, enabling BTC holders to take part in network validation while earning rewards. The project's focus on tokenised real-world assets makes it relevant for market makers, trading firms, and treasuries seeking regulated custody combined with onchain collateral mobility. BounceBit Prime integrates tokenised cash equivalents from Franklin Templeton's Benji and BlackRock's BUIDL via Securitize, with client assets custodied at Standard Chartered and connected to execution through an off-exchange collateral mirroring model. The Ignition upgrade, outlined as the next chain upgrade, targets a 0.5-second block time with about 0.5-second finality, EIP-1559 support, and 30 million gas at launch with a path to 45 million gas, aimed at improving throughput, fee predictability and execution performance.
BB tokens serve multiple functions within the BounceBit ecosystem. Users can stake BB to participate in network validation and earn staking rewards. BB is used to pay for transactions on the network and for smart contract interactions when deploying or using decentralised applications. Holders can participate in governance by voting on protocol upgrades and network changes. BB functions in DeFi applications for lending, borrowing, and providing liquidity. Additionally, BB is used as exclusive margin collateral for leveraged trading of global crypto assets through Quanto Trading. The token also plays a role in the Farm product, where staking BB farms rewards and compounds ecosystem holdings.
The BounceBit ecosystem includes several products: BounceBit Borobudur for CeDeFi asset management, The Foundation for institutional-grade compounding yield on BTCB, ETH, SOL, USDT, or BNB, BB Credit for interest-free liquidity against deposits, Farm for staking rewards, Quanto Trading for leveraged crypto trading with BB as margin collateral, and Trade Tokenised Stocks for 24/7 RWA investing in U.S. stocks, ETFs, gold, and treasury bills. BounceBit Prime empowers institutions with RWA liquidity and layered yield. RWA partners include OKX, Franklin Templeton, Benji, Centrifuge, Circle, Hashnote, and Superstate. Institutional integrations include Franklin Templeton's Benji, BlackRock's BUIDL via Securitize, Standard Chartered for custody, OKX for off-exchange settlement, Mainnet Digital for custody, and Ceffu's MirrorX. Assets under management stood at approximately US$289.4 million as of 9 October 2026 (per the project's published figures).
BounceBit does not use traditional mining. Instead, it employs a dual-token Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism where validators stake both BTC and BB tokens to secure the network and validate transactions. Miners securing the BounceBit network receive BB tokens as rewards according to available technical documentation. BB holders can stake BB directly and receive stBB through BounceBit's liquid staking system; eligible BB-tokens can also be staked in the Farm module for additional rewards paid in stBB. Because BounceBit secures its network through proof-of-stake rather than proof-of-work mining, it does not rely on energy-intensive hardware.
BounceBit applies comprehensive KYC, KYT and AML protocols for onboarding, and uses a multi-layer custody architecture with segregated accounts, strict access controls and real-time risk monitoring. Enterprise-grade cloud security, encryption, and disaster recovery protocols ensure platform stability and scalability. For personal security, users should store BB tokens in reputable wallets, enable two-factor authentication, verify contract addresses before transactions, and remain cautious of phishing attempts. In August 2026 an authorization flaw allowed an attacker to drain 286.5 million BB tokens, about a quarter of circulating supply, and the Layer 1 chain was permanently shut down; BB remains highly volatile and holders should treat announcements about token status as unverified until confirmed by official channels.
