Swing and BOB: Building Bitcoin's DeFi Highway
Bridge, swap, and settle on Bitcoin's hybrid chain without changing your front-end flows
Bitcoin’s liquidity has long been fenced off from everyday Web3 products. Wrappers, custodial bridges, and one-off code paths kept most teams on the sidelines. That barrier is now gone: Swing now lists BOB - the hybrid chain that fuses Bitcoin's capital and brand power with Ethereum's innovative apps, serving as the gateway to Bitcoin DeFi - as a native source and destination across its network of 55+ chains, enabled by BOB × deBridge integration.
How the partnership works
Earlier this year BOB plugged into deBridge, a 0-TVL, intent-based bridge that finalizes transfers in minutes while resisting MEV. Because Swing already aggregates deBridge for routing, adding BOB required a configuration push rather than new code. Every dapp that calls Swing’s SDK, API, or widget instantly gains access to liquidity on Bitcoin's hybrid L2.
Benefits developers receive automatically
Seamless bridging – Move any asset supported by Swing directly to or from BOB.
Native-settlement swaps – Trades complete on BOB, ready for BTC-denominated yield or liquidity pools.
Unchanged UX – Existing front ends keep their flow; Swing rewires routing invisibly.
Live telemetry – Subscribe to WebSocket events or let Galaxy Exchange, Swing’s turnkey UI, display step-by-step status.
Because BOB is fully EVM-compatible, bridged assets land inside ordinary Solidity contracts. Swing’s router optimizes gas and liquidity across 55+ chains, so teams never juggle chain-specific logic.
The user experience
For example, the deBridge announcement highlights that a JUP holder on Solana can swap directly for LBTC on BOB in one transaction. Each hop is streamed to the interface in real time. No manual wrapping, no context switching - just proof that chains can feel contiguous. Clarity like this turns first-time users into power users.
Why it matters
• For BOB: The integration funnels builders and liquidity from dozens of ecosystems into its mission of making Bitcoin central to DeFi.
• For Swing: It strengthens our role as Web3’s connective tissue, abstracting cross-chain complexity so teams focus on features, not plumbing.
• For Developers: It opens a market where roughly 0.3 percent of Bitcoin’s market cap is in DeFi today, leaving enormous headroom for growth.
Ship it
Update to the latest Swing SDK and set BOB as your destination chain. Integrate it all with just 3 lines of code via Swing's SDK. Your roadmap now includes Bitcoin's brand power and capital, all secured by BOB's hybrid L2 architecture - without new infrastructure. Open finance should feel inevitable; with Swing and BOB, it finally does.
