So when protocols try to “add BTC,” they usually bolt it on — through oracles, wrappers, or external services. ⚠️ That creates a split: execution lives in one system, Bitcoin truth lives in another. @SovaBTC closes that gap at the lowest level. ⚙️ Modified Execution Client — sova-reth Instead of using a standard client, Sova runs sova-reth — a modified version of Reth where Bitcoin validation logic is integrated directly into the EVM runtime. This isn’t middleware. It’s part of execution itself. ⚒️ What that changes: • 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 • 𝘉𝘛𝘊-𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 • 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘴 • 𝘯𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘴 Execution doesn’t just reference Bitcoin — it understands and enforces it. 🔗 The key shift is architectural.
