Introduction
Build BTCFi dApps without bridges, wrapped BTC, or custodial risk, while delivering a seamless, native experience for Bitcoin holders.
BTCFi Builders Face Four Major Hurdles
-
Custody Challenges
Introducing Bitcoin into dApps often creates custodial risk by relying on third-party signers compromise of those signers can put user funds in jeopardy. -
Lack of Native Anchoring
Bitcoin doesn’t natively anchor off-chain logic. Most solutions depend on external oracles or soft-verification methods, undermining trust-minimization at the base layer. -
Fragmented Developer Ecosystem
Bitcoin’s scripting limits force developers to choose between clunky off-chain workarounds or unfamiliar new languages (e.g., Clarity, Motoko). This fragmentation and steep learning curve slow adoption. -
Poor User Experience
Wrapped-BTC workflows are broken: users juggle multiple wallets, gas tokens, and blind-sign messages. The result is low engagement and high friction.
These hurdles leave today’s BTCFi UX inaccessible and overly complex for most users.
So What’s Surge Building?
-
Minimal Custodial Risk
Users keep full control of their keys, no bridges, no custodial intermediaries. -
Bitcoin-Native Execution
Off-chain computation is anchored directly on Bitcoin’s base layer, with no external trust assumptions. -
EVM-Compatible Dev Environment
Write smart contracts in Solidity using familiar tools and tap into Bitcoin’s security and liquidity. -
Seamless BTCFi UX
One wallet, one token, one interface , no gas tokens, no wrapped assets.
