Making Bitcoin Programmable

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
