The Problem

Bitcoin generates no native yield and cannot interact with smart contracts. Existing BTC bridges suffer from federated-custody risk (Ronin, Multichain) or rely on wrapped-asset issuers with limited transparency.

The Solution

exSat provides a custodian-federated bridge to mint 1:1 XBTC on an EVM-compatible execution layer built on EOS/Antelope, then offers BTC staking that earns XSAT rewards while a regulated custodian set (Ceffu, Cobo, ChainUp, Cactus) holds the underlying BTC.

Why it Matters

Built on EOS/Antelope rather than a standalone L2, leveraging EOS RAM and the high-throughput Antelope toolchain. Operates with a regulated custodian federation rather than a permissionless multisig. XSAT follows a Bitcoin-style fair launch with no pre-mine or pre-allocation.
