[Roadmap] Integration of an EVM ↔ non-EVM Bridge to Bitcoin and Monero

Summary of the Proposal: This proposal seeks DAO approval to integrate a cross-chain bridge between EVM and non-EVM blockchains, enabling swaps to and from Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR).

The bridge would be developed in partnership with Quickex, a recognized interoperability provider. This integration supports BIM’s long-term vision: building an “OnlyOne” multifunctional DeFi platform capable of covering all major crypto use cases within a single protocol.

Context: Most DeFi protocols remain limited to the EVM ecosystem. However, Bitcoin and Monero represent:

• A significant share of total crypto market capitalization,
• Critical use cases such as store of value and privacy-preserving payments,
• Strong demand for interoperability with DeFi applications.

An EVM ↔ BTC/XMR bridge would:

• Expand BIM beyond EVM-only limitations,
• Attract new users and liquidity,
• Strengthen BIM’s value proposition as a truly universal DeFi protocol.

💰 Fee Structure 1% swap fee applied to users Fee allocation:

• 0.25% retained by Quickex as the technical partner
• ~1% net allocated to BIM through a revenue-sharing model

100% of BIM’s revenue from this bridge will:

• Be converted into USDC on the BASE blockchain
• Be transferred entirely to the DAO treasury, in line with current DAO policy

🏦 Revenue Management

• Automated monthly conversion of fees to USDC (BASE)
• No revenue retained by a centralized entity
• Full treasury control by the DAO

Strategic Objectives

• Extend BIM beyond the EVM ecosystem
• Onboard Bitcoin and Monero users into DeFi
• Generate new recurring revenue streams for the DAO
• Reinforce BIM’s vision as the “OnlyOne” DeFi platform
• Position BIM as a multi-chain, multi-asset infrastructure protocol
