Key Benefits of sBTC

• Fast and Low-Cost Transactions: sBTC enables transactions on the Side Chain with instant finality (within seconds) and significantly reduced fees compared to the Bitcoin mainnet, providing a practical solution for frequent transactions.

• Simplified Gas Fee Model: Users can pay transaction fees directly with sBTC, eliminating the need to hold the network’s native SIDE token. This makes sBTC adoption easier and more intuitive for Bitcoin users.

• Bitcoin-Native Address Compatibility: The Side Chain uses address formats identical to Bitcoin’s mainnet, including Taproot and Native SegWit, and allows transactions to be signed directly with Bitcoin wallets. This seamless integration ensures a familiar and secure user experience for Bitcoin users.

sBTC stands out as it is issued on the first fully compatible dPoS Layer 1 blockchain. Unlike other threshold-based BTC bridging solutions deployed on networks that rely on EVM addresses and require native tokens for gas, the Side Chain delivers a user-centric approach tailored specifically for Bitcoin users.
