Wrapped Crypto (Reserve Assets)
Wrapped tokens are bridged versions of external cryptocurrencies on the Unit Network blockchain. When you deposit BTC, you receive BTCU — a 1:1 representation on-chain.
How wrapping works:
- You send crypto (e.g., BTC) to a designated vault address
- Off-chain workers verify the transaction
- Wrapped tokens (BTCU) are minted and credited to your wallet
- Original crypto is held securely in decentralized vaults
Key roles:
- Treasury backing — Held in token treasuries as collateral
- Trading — Actively traded on DEXes
- Token sales — Used to purchase tokens during sale rounds
- Cross-chain bridge — Connect external blockchains to Unit Network
Unit Network exclusively supports native networks for deposits. For BTC, use Native SegWit — not BEP20 or any other network.

| GBPU | British Pound | NOKU | Norwegian Krone |
| EURU | Euro | MXNU | Mexican Peso |

| KRWU | South Korean Won | IDRU | Indonesian Rupiah |
Key properties:
