### Bitcoin Bridge (XCLAIM <-> Substrate <-> Polkadot)

The Interlay team has written a [specification](https://spec.interlay.io/) on a
Bitcoin bridge that is based on the [XCLAIM](https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/643.pdf) design paper. The
protocol enables a two-way bridge between Polkadot and Bitcoin. It allows holders of BTC to
"teleport" their assets to Polkadot as PolkaBTC, and holders of PolkaBTC to burn their assets for
"teleport" their assets to Polkadot as iBTC, and holders of iBTC to burn their assets for
BTC on the Bitcoin chain.

The Bitcoin bridge, as documented in the specification, is composed of two logically different
components:

- The XCLAIM component maintains all accounts that own PolkaBTC.
- The XCLAIM component maintains all accounts that own iBTC.
- The BTC-Relay is responsible for verifying the Bitcoin state when a new transaction is submitted.

For full details on how it works, please refer to the specification.
