The Programmable Logic Layer for Bitcoin

Bitcoin, despite its widespread adoption and robust security model, lacks a native virtual machine for complex smart contract execution. This limitation has hindered the development of programmable applications directly secured by Bitcoin. Sova closes this gap by introducing an EVM-compatible execution layer that natively understands Bitcoin. Unlike conventional wrapped asset bridges, which rely on external custodians or federations, Sova enforces Bitcoin transaction finality at the protocol level using cryptographic locks, native precompiles, and on-chain Bitcoin state anchoring.

Through this architecture, Sova allows developers to build decentralized applications—DEXs, lending platforms, stablecoins, and more—that can custody, transfer, and interact with real Bitcoin without sacrificing security, auditability, or decentralization.
