¶ What is Sovryn?
¶ Sovryn is:
- The most feature-rich DeFi platform for Bitcoin
- A non-custodial and permission-less smart contract-based system for bitcoin lending, borrowing, and margin trading
- The Sovryn DAO is built on RSK, a Bitcoin sidechain, that provides Bitcoin ecosystem with EVM superpowers
Sovryn is built on RSK, a Bitcoin sidechain secured by the Bitcoin network. The native token of RSK is RBTC, an exact 1:1 BTC peg. When you transfer bitcoin into RSK, your bitcoin is locked and the equivalent amount is released as RBTC on RSK. Using RBTC, you can lend, borrow, and trade on Sovryn. In addition, all fees are paid in RBTC, so you don't need a separate asset just for transaction fees.
