Bitcoin liquidity just got easier to manage. Omnity Network has pulled the curtains on a feature that many have been waiting for—permissionless Bitcoin liquidity on RichSwap. It’s now possible to add BTC to liquidity pools without the usual gatekeeping, red tape, or middlemen. And in a world that still likes to keep things locked down, that’s a bit of a plot twist.
This update lands as RichSwap becomes the first open-source runes AMM DEX, making its new feature more than just another tick on a roadmap. With permissionless listings, verifiable onchain actions, and single-sided BTC liquidity now active, it’s a hands-on shift toward giving users full autonomy. No need to form a DAO or wait for votes. Just plug in a wallet, send your BTC, and the job’s done.
For anyone eyeing arbitrage or searching for deeper, more stable pools, this is a welcome shift. By allowing BTC liquidity to flow in without matching another token, RichSwap removes a long-standing friction point. Normally, users would have to add two tokens to a pool to provide liquidity. Now, with single-sided BTC, participation becomes much simpler—especially for those who just want to put their Bitcoin to work.
And speaking of wallets, the range is broad. Users can connect through Xverse, Unisat, OKX, or MagicEden. No hoops, no paperwork. Even better, the Total Value Locked (TVL) volume link leads directly to the pool address, so users can send BTC from virtually anywhere without switching platforms or waiting for approval. It’s a kind of internet-era convenience that many platforms promise but few actually deliver.
Behind the simplicity is a complex but transparent system. Every step is verifiable onchain, from the moment a transaction is initiated to when it finishes. This kind of onchain accountability helps maintain trust, especially as decentralised platforms grow and more liquidity flows through them. Transparency is no longer a nice touch; it’s becoming the bare minimum.
For traders and BTC communities, the implications are layered. Arbitrage opportunities improve when liquidity pools are deep and prices between DEXs and CEXs start to vary. Stablecoins tied to BTC can benefit too, as more liquidity creates better trading conditions and smaller spreads. And for communities sitting on idle Bitcoin, this presents a fresh incentive—get involved without needing to understand LP ratios or token pairing strategies.
At a time when the broader DeFi scene is dealing with shifting regulations, tighter controls, and an increasing demand for compliance, RichSwap’s move feels refreshingly simple. Add Bitcoin. No questions asked. It taps directly into what many hoped decentralised exchanges would become in the first place—a free-flowing environment for peer-to-peer exchange without bottlenecks or third-party decisions.
The design of this feature also brings some subtle wins. For example, reducing the need for paired tokens in a pool means fewer transaction fees and less exposure to impermanent loss—an issue that’s made some cautious about liquidity providing altogether. Here, users can add BTC on its own, simplifying both the commitment and the risk profile.
This aligns with a broader shift where DeFi protocols are rethinking liquidity mechanics. Single-sided liquidity, while not new, is gaining traction. But offering it permissionlessly and in an open-source runes AMM format makes RichSwap a standout. Most competitors still require heavy integrations or have off-chain whitelisting processes. That adds layers, and layers add limits.
The open-source nature of RichSwap is no small detail either. It’s an invite for developers to check, tweak, or even fork the code. Open doors like that tend to attract new innovations or plug-ins that can grow the ecosystem further. And with everything verifiable onchain, it’s hard to argue with what you can see and audit for yourself.
For users who’ve held back from DeFi because of complexity or a lack of control, this could be a re-entry point. No tokens to swap beforehand. No multiple interfaces to juggle. And no long wait before your transaction settles. Just a clear path to getting BTC into action, which is likely to appeal not only to DeFi regulars but also to long-time Bitcoin holders looking to engage without abandoning their original coin.
The team at Omnity Network has taken a lean approach to building RichSwap’s latest feature. Rather than overhauling or trying to ‘reinvent’ liquidity, they’ve refined the pathway and removed points of friction. It’s the digital equivalent of unbolting a side gate to the garden—suddenly, the whole thing feels more usable.
There’s also something timely about this update. BTC is being looked at again by institutions, new ETFs are rolling out, and the macro conversation around digital assets is getting louder. Amid that, RichSwap’s feature offers something rare: simplicity in design that doesn’t dilute decentralisation.
Many Bitcoin holders have been watching the DeFi world from a distance, often sidelined by the fact that BTC wasn’t natively supported on most platforms. Wrapped tokens solved that problem to an extent, but often at the cost of trust or ease of use. Here, with direct BTC support and verifiable flows, RichSwap skips over that entire wrapped-token detour.
Of course, the proof will be in how the pools grow. If BTC liquidity deepens and volumes climb, the strategy works. If arbitrage finds traction and stablecoins see more stable pegs due to volume, the design holds. But even without waiting for charts and data spikes, the early signs point to a product that’s well-aligned with user expectations.
What’s next? Possibly more wallets, additional tools to monitor TVL and trade flows, or community incentives to draw in the first wave of liquidity. These things tend to feed on momentum. But for now, what’s been delivered is a clean, permissionless option for putting Bitcoin to work—without needing a manual or a middleman.
If you’re curious, the call to action couldn’t be simpler. Connect your wallet, check the volume link, grab the address, and send. No application forms, no waiting for green lights. For a sector that often overcomplicates innovation, this one arrives with minimal fuss and plenty of function.
As DeFi keeps experimenting, trimming the fat, and doubling down on access, RichSwap’s latest move is likely to stick. And for once, it’s Bitcoin that’s slipping into the liquidity conversation without needing to jump through DeFi’s usual hoops.
