Threshold Network resumed on-chain operations for its tBTC bridging protocol on 8 November 2026, though access through its primary web application remains paused. The protocol restored its underlying smart contracts on-chain, but user-facing features will remain offline until a sufficient number of node operators rejoin the network to validate transactions.
The continued pause on the web application interface leaves $119.9 million worth of tBTC frozen inside Aave's Ethereum Core reserve. Threshold said interactive bridging operations and direct Bitcoin redemptions through the app will not resume until node operator participation reaches the required operational threshold, allowing safe token transfers to restart.
tBTC is a decentralised wrapped token designed to let investors use Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain within decentralised finance protocols. The step toward restoration follows a week-long network outage that initially locked $123.2 million in tBTC reserves inside Aave. Data shows Ethereum was down 4.4 percent at $2,132.70, while Aave fell 3.2 percent to $126.25.
The reactivation of on-chain functionality signals that the protocol is progressing through the technical recovery process needed to restore full liquidity. Market participants will watch for additional node operators to reconnect in the coming days, which will allow Threshold to reopen its web interface and unfreeze user assets across the Aave platform.
