FAQ

Your most common questions, answered. Missing something? Ask us here.

What is Sovryn?
Sovryn is a non-custodial and permissionless smart contract-based system for Bitcoin lending, borrowing and margin trading. No single company, organization or individual represents or controls the Sovryn protocol. Find out more by reading our black paper.
What smart contract platform is Sovryn built on?
Sovryn is an on-chain decentralized protocol deployed on the Bitcoin sidechain RSK. RSK is a Bitcoin layer-2 smart contract protocol. Learn more about RSK.
Isn’t the Bitcoin blockchain slow?
Since Sovryn is built on RSK (a Bitcoin sidechain), it benefits from lower block times which average 30 seconds compared to the Bitcoin average block time of 10 minutes.
What features does Sovryn offer?
- Spot Exchange - a low cost, low-slippage, AMM allowing instant trades between tokens

- Margin Trading - up to 5X long/short trades, allowing users to borrow leverage from the lending pool

- Lending Pool - interest earned by HODLers lending tokens to margin traders and borrowers

- FastBTC Relay - near-instant use of Bitcoin with smart contracts and decentralized products, from any Bitcoin wallet

- Borrow - funds available for borrowing by users and smart contracts with over-collateralized lending from the lending pool

- Perpetual Swaps - trades with up to 20X leverage using BTC-backed perpetual swaps (coming soon)

- Bitcoin-backed Stablecoin - USD-pegged token backed by overcollateralized Bitcoin (coming soon)
How is Bitcoin on RSK different from Bitcoin on Ethereum?
Bitcoin on RSK has decisive advantages over tokenized Bitcoin on Ethereum (such as wBTC, renBTC):

- RSK is not a competing chain—it is Bitcoin Layer 2.RSK is Bitcoin native. You don’t need any token other than bitcoin to use it and all fees are paid in bitcoin. This is the first DeFi dApp where bitcoin is the only “gas” you need to power it. This reduces the user friction of buying an altcoin so you can trade another.

- RSK is non-custodial. It is not an IOU (like WBTC) and maintains censorship resistance. tBTC is also non-custodial but is very expensive to make the conversion—and is likely to get more expensive in their new model (higher collateralization ratios). More generally, fees are much lower on RSK than on Ethereum.

- RSK is secured by Bitcoin PoW—no need to understand or trust a different model. No need to be concerned that total Bitcoin value on Ethereum could exceed total ETH value.

- BTC has the advantage of being the base asset on RSK. The loan-to-collateral ratios Sovryn will offer will be far superior to what is being offered for tokenized Bitcoin on Ethereum.

- With the FastBTC relay, moving BTC onto RSK is faster, cheaper and easier than moving BTC to any of the Ethereum BTC-tokens. This alone is a 10X improvement. This process will also be integrated with the Lightning Network, which is important to many Bitcoiners.
