What is Sovryn?

• a system for bitcoin lending, borrowing, and margin trading that uses non-custodial and permissionless smart contracts
• the DAO built on RSK, a Bitcoin sidechain, that provides Bitcoin with superpowers
• the most feature-rich DeFi platform for Bitcoin
• an ecosystem whose aim is to secure digital property rights

Sovryn is built on RSK, a Bitcoin sidechain secured by the Bitcoin network. The native token of RSK is RBTC, an exact 1:1 BTC peg. When you transfer bitcoin into RSK, your bitcoin is locked and the equivalent amount released as RBTC on RSK. Using RBTC, you can lend, borrow, and trade on Sovryn. In addition, all fees are paid in RBTC, so you don't need a separate asset just for transaction fees.
