While I agree to have a more decentralized alternative present on Moonwell, iBTC lacks liquidity and its 24HR volume is around $40,000 (just using a quick search on CoinMarketCap). Also iBTC depends on Polkadot , no? While Polkadot has been around for a long time and is battle tested, it’s fallen on some more difficult times recently, and this could possibly be a security risk in itself. It might make more sense for other forms like tBTC, etc. I know there’s been some discussion on social media about integrating cbBTC if there’s the option (granted, that is most certainly permissioned and I’d still like to see a decentralized solution as well).
