Why Sova?
Bitcoin is the world’s most secure asset - but it’s been idle for too long. Sova unlocks its next phase: a programmable, yield-bearing asset class.
By combining native Bitcoin integration with EVM compatibility, Sova enables a new wave of capital-efficient applications powered directly by BTC. From execution to liquidity, Sova is built to serve as the foundational layer for Bitcoin-native finance. Here’s how:
1. A Bitcoin-Native Execution Layer
Sova’s architecture allows smart contracts to directly interact with the Bitcoin blockchain. Developers can submit BTC transactions, read UTXO state, and design DeFi protocols that treat BTC as a first-class citizen.
This is made possible by:
Custom precompiles that decode Bitcoin state and UTXO sets
A validator-set synchronized with Bitcoin to verify real BTC transactions
Full EVM compatibility, enabling Solidity-based smart contract development
Unlike typical bridges or federated wrappers, Sova eliminates reliance on third parties, unlocking true Bitcoin programmability without compromising decentralization or composability.
2. Interoperable BTC Capital Markets
Sova is built on the OP Superchain, making it natively interoperable with the Ethereum ecosystem. This enables seamless capital flow between Bitcoin and EVM environments, creating unified BTC markets for:
Sova bridges Bitcoin and DeFi at the infrastructure level, removing fragmentation and allowing institutional and onchain-native users to build in a unified capital market.
3. Growing Your BTC Wealth
Sova transforms Bitcoin from a passive store of value into an active yield-bearing asset. By combining direct BTC integration with smart contract execution, users can deploy BTC into:
Onchain DeFi protocols
Tokenized real-world asset strategies
Capital-efficient credit markets
Sovereign BTC yield, without compromise. Built for institutional allocators, fund managers, and sophisticated retail users.
4. BTC Clearing House – Unified Liquidity Layer for BTC
Sova includes a protocol-level clearing layer for all major Bitcoin wrappers (e.g. WBTC, cbBTC, LBTC, FBTC). Through this, users can mint, redeem, and swap across BTC wrappers in a single pipeline, without friction.
sovaBTC serves as the universal BTC token across the network
Underlying reserves are held in a mix of native BTC and qualified BTC wrappers
Routing and clearing logic is embedded into Sova’s base layer
A universal BTC interface that abstracts away complexity and enables seamless liquidity routing across chains and wrappers.
