BitcoinOS Secures $10M Led by Greenfield Capital to Unlock ZK-Proof Programmability on Bitcoin Mainnet
Summary
BOS (BitcoinOS), an innovative Bitcoin "operating system" utilizing zero-knowledge proofs to enable smart contracts and interoperability on Bitcoin, announced it secured $10 million in funding. The round was led by Greenfield Capital, with participation from investors including FalconX, DNA Fund, and Trust Machines. The funds will be used to advance technological achievements, focusing on ramping up institutional and developer protocols before market rollout. Greenfield Capital highlighted that BOS achieved true Bitcoin programmability by verifying ZK proofs directly on the mainnet without altering the base protocol. BOS CEO Edan Yago stated the funding will accelerate Bitcoin and BTCFi adoption. Recent technical milestones for BOS include a bridgeless cross-chain asset transfer, the launch of Charms (a token standard leveraging zk-proofs), and the introduction of Grail Pro, an institutional protocol for BTC yield generation while maintaining self-custody.
