# What is LeadFi

LeadFi is a user-friendly bridge that turns native BTC into **leadBTC**, an ERC-20 style token you can use across supported EVM chains. You can always redeem leadBTC back to native BTC.

**Why it matters**

* Put idle BTC to work in DeFi.
* 1:1 relationship: 1 BTC ↔ 1 leadBTC (minus network & policy fees).
* Simple UX: connect wallets, follow prompts, track status in-app.

**Core actions**

* **Mint**: Send BTC to the LeadFi reserve address (memo handled automatically in-app) → receive leadBTC.
* **Bridge**: Move leadBTC between supported EVM networks.
* **Withdraw**: Burn leadBTC on an EVM chain → receive native BTC.
