BitcoinOS & the ZK Breakthrough Bringing BTCFi to Institutions | Blockchain Interviews
In this episode of Blockchain Interviews, Ashton Addison speaks with Edan Yago, Co-Founder of Bitcoin OS (BOS), the ZK-powered operating system built to bring crypto home to Bitcoin. Fresh off a $10 million raise led by Greenfield Capital, BOS is expanding institutional BTCFi capabilities and pioneering the first-ever zero-knowledge proof on Bitcoin’s mainnet. Yago explains how BOS merges Bitcoin’s unmatched security with modern programmability, connecting networks like Cardano, Litecoin, and Arbitrum through trustless interoperability.We explore what “institutional BTCFi” really means, how Grail Pro enables yield and cross-chain liquidity for Bitcoin holders, and why BOS could reshape the narrative around programmable Bitcoin. Tune in for deep insights on ZK technology, decentralized finance on BTC, and the future of multi-chain Web3 innovation built on the world’s most secure blockchain.
