How Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) Works
When a merchant wants to have new WBTC tokens in exchange for BTC, he calls on the Wrapped Bitcoin smart contract and sends his BTC to a custodian. The custodian then triggers the smart contract to mint new WBTC and send it to the merchant. When the merchant wants his BTC back, he submits his WBTC to the custodian and gets his BTC. That WBTC is then burned.

The Commonwealth of The Bahamas is an island country lying between the US state of Florida to the north and Cuba to the south. The country covers an area of 13,878 km2 where approximately 400,516 people live. English is the official language, and both Bahamian dollar (BSD) and United States dollar (USD) are accepted as the currency of the country.

If you prefer nature, there are Atlantis Paradise Island, Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, and Harbour Island waiting for you. And if you are more of a culture explorer, the capital Nassau, National Art Gallery of the Bahamas, and Fort Fincastle cannot be overlooked.
