Making Bitcoin a fully programmable, productive asset.
sBTC will allow Bitcoin to become foundation for a more secure Web3 by enabling trustless writing to Bitcoin and the movement of Bitcoin in and out of Bitcoin layers.
Trustless. sBTC will enable Bitcoin write, trustless movement of BTC in and out of the layer, while securing transactions with 100% of Bitcoin hash power.
Decentralized. sBTC is not reliant on a fixed federation or other points of centralization.
Growth. sBTC can enable a new era of Bitcoin applications, unlocking $300B+ in latent capital for Web3, while accelerating growth of the Bitcoin economy.
The sBTC peg operations like signer selection, peg-out requests, etc. happen on the Bitcoin main chain, meaning that external actors in the layer cannot censor these operations.
The threshold signers are incentivized through BTC rewards from Stacks layer consensus giving them strong economic incentives to participate without introducing any additional peg fees.
Real-world participation data suggests that sBTC can reach a circulating supply of hundreds of millions to billions of dollars given recent capital locked in Stacks consensus, making sBTC commercially viable and scalable.
sBTC is trustless Bitcoin-pegged asset that uses the unique characteristics of the Stacks Bitcoin layer and PoX consensus to provide high performance and decentralized security.
