Nassau, Bahamas, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TwTAO (True Wrapped TAO) is launching as the first fully regulated wrapped representation of TAO on Ethereum, enabling seamless access to DeFi, liquidity markets, and tokenized infrastructure across chains. Backed 1:1 by native TAO, TwTAO brings security, regulatory clarity, and new financial utility to the Bittensor ecosystem.
Similar to what WBTC did for Bitcoin, TwTAO unlocks TAO for the rest of the internet, making it usable for lending, trading, collateralization, staking, and institutional finance across Ethereum and beyond.
A Cross-Chain Collaboration
TwTAO is the result of a strategic partnership between Inspect, Delchain Limited, LSX Essentials Technology, and io.finnet — combining regulatory-grade custody, blockchain infrastructure, and cutting-edge security to bridge TAO into the broader DeFi world.
“At Delchain, we focus on a compliant, secure infrastructure for digital assets. TwTAO will bring TAO into the regulated DeFi world with full institutional-grade controls”
— Daniel Koehler, CEO of Delchain
Why TwTAO Matters
- 1:1 Backed: Every TwTAO token is fully backed by native TAO held in secure custody
- Regulated Custody: TAO is custodied by Delchain Limited, a licensed and regulated FCSP
- Liquidity Expansion: TAO becomes tradable and usable across Ethereum's DeFi stack — from DEXs to lending markets
- Smart Contract Ready: Developers can use TwTAO in any ERC-20 compatible dApp
- MPC Security: Powered by io.finnet's trustless MPC, eliminating single points of failure
“With MPC and trustless authorization, TwTAO's custody stack rivals the most secure systems in crypto today.” — Jacob Plaster, CTO of io.finnet
TwTAO Unlocks What's Next for TAO
By bringing TAO onto Ethereum, TwTAO makes TAO usable across a wide range of financial applications, from collateral in lending protocols, to staking in yield strategies, to participation in tokenized funds and asset-backed instruments.
For builders, investors, DAOs, and protocols, TwTAO is the key to composability.
For TAO holders, it's a new gateway to utility, liquidity, and capital access.
