Echo is seamlessly integrates with all native BTC Layer 2 solutions (Babylon, BSquared, Bitlayer) and supports various BTC liquid staking tokens (PumpBTC, LBTC) and wrapped BTC tokens (wBTC, fBTC). Echo also relies on Proof-of-Reserve to ensure that the BTC assets that are being accepted on Echo's aggregation layer are safe, secure and transparent.

Echo LST infrastructure simplifies BTC integration into DeFi, ensuring pricing efficiency, depegging risk prevention, minimized slippage, and maximizing asset utilization for users across decentralized protocols.
