Why Sova?

The Sova Chain Provides Verifiable Bitcoin Finality, which Enables Cryptographically Provable Reserves on Sova

The Sova Chain enables BTC native execution through a unique dual-node architecture where validators run both Bitcoin Core and an EVM client, synchronized by a database that tracks finalized BTC transactions. This creates the foundation for treasury-as-code, where Bitcoin movements are deterministically tied to on-chain logic.

Unlike other centralized wrapped Bitcoin solutions that rely on opaque minting/burning processes, Sova directly ties every Bitcoin txid to corresponding token minting and burning events on Sova Chain. These txids aren't just posted arbitrarily - they're deterministically checked for finality by every operator in the network, creating a real-time auditable trail that third parties can independently verify.

Tri-Party Agreements with Verifiable Execution

The combination of provable reserves and programmable custody makes sophisticated tri-party agreements possible. Every mint, transfer, and burn throughout an agreement's lifecycle is tied to an on-chain Bitcoin transaction. Participants can run their own BTC nodes to independently verify and dispute txids if needed, eliminating trust assumptions between parties.

This creates a new primitive: Bitcoin that's both fully verifiable on L1 and programmable within the EVM, combining the security and deep liquidity on Bitcoin with the expressiveness of smart contracts and the EVM.
