# SolvBTC

**SolvBTC** is an **on-chain Bitcoin reserve asset**, designed to represent Bitcoin in on-chain financial systems in a **secure, transparent, and protocol-native** form.

Each SolvBTC corresponds to **one fully backed unit of Bitcoin reserve**, governed by clearly defined rules for minting, custody, and redemption.\
SolvBTC provides a consistent and verifiable way for Bitcoin to exist and circulate within programmable on-chain environments, while remaining anchored to Bitcoin as the final settlement layer.

### Why an On-Chain Bitcoin Reserve Is Needed

Bitcoin is the most widely adopted and trusted digital asset, with unmatched security and monetary properties. At the same time, modern on-chain systems rely on assets that can be **programmatically integrated, composed, and executed** across protocols and chains.

This creates a structural gap:

* Bitcoin serves as a global value anchor
* On-chain systems require reserve assets that can participate in standardized execution flows

**SolvBTC bridges this gap** by expressing Bitcoin as an **on-chain reserve**, making it accessible to a wide range of on-chain systems while preserving Bitcoin’s fundamental role.
