Interbtc UI
Kintsugi and Interlay App - BTC DeFi
Overview
Interlay is revolutionizing the way Bitcoin interacts with the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems through its innovative UI. By providing a seamless method to create interBTC and kBTC, platforms that accurately represent Bitcoin on these networks, Interlay ensures that users can engage in decentralized finance (DeFi) with ease. Notably, these tokens are backed 1:1 by Bitcoin, allowing for true asset security and liquidity.
Unlike other bridges, Interlay's approach is truly open; anyone can participate as an intermediary, thus fostering a more inclusive environment for users. This configuration not only enhances accessibility but also builds trust within the ecosystem by relying on a network of collateralized third parties known as Vaults.
Features
- Open System: Anyone can become an intermediary by depositing collateral, making interBTC and kBTC unique in their accessibility compared to other bridge solutions.
- 1:1 Backing: Each interBTC and kBTC token is backed by an equivalent amount of Bitcoin, assuring users of true asset representation.
- Built with Modern Technologies: Developed using React, TypeScript, and Rust with a collection of open-source Substrate modules, ensuring a robust and flexible platform.
- Local Development Options: Users can run both the Kintsugi and Interlay UIs locally on testnet or mainnet, providing flexibility for developers and contributors.
- Support & Community Engagement: Interlay encourages community involvement and discussion through Discord, making it easy for users to connect and contribute ideas.
- Testnets Availability: Access to multiple testnets allows users to experiment and develop on the platform without risks associated with live operations.
- Rich Documentation: Detailed specifications and guidelines are provided, making it easier for developers to understand and utilize the system effectively.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Styled Components
Styled Components is a popular library for styling React components using CSS syntax. It allows you to write CSS in your JavaScript code, making it easier to create dynamic styles that are specific to each component.
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Headless UI
Headless UI is a set of completely unstyled, fully accessible UI components for React, Vue, and Alpine.js that empower developers to build their own fully accessible custom UI components. Headless UI allows developers to focus on building accessible and highly functional user interfaces, without the need to worry about styling or layout.
- Formik
Formik is a popular form library for React that helps with form state management, validation, and submission handling. It provides a declarative approach to building forms with support for complex validation scenarios and easy integration with validation libraries like Yup.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- React Hook Form
React Hook Form is a performant, flexible, and extensible form library for React with easy validation. It reduces re-renders and improves performance by using uncontrolled components and native HTML validation, making form handling simple and efficient.
- Redux
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Yup
Yup is a schema builder for runtime value parsing and validation. It provides a declarative way to define validation schemas with support for complex nested objects, array validation, and custom validation rules. Often used with Formik for form validation.
