Bringing Bitcoin TVL to Cardano is a major opportunity to attract new capital and grow the ecosystem. @btc_karma is building toward that opportunity. The next step is making Bitcoin productive in DeFi. Our goal is to give BTC holders access to strategies that generate returns paid in BTC or USDCx. Our planned Phase 2 model uses BTC as collateral to borrow stablecoins on Cardano, while the Bitcoin remains on the Bitcoin network. We’re exploring USDCx interoperability and @Circle’s CCTP infrastructure to access yield strategies across supported chains, with financing and repayment managed on Cardano. $KARMA connects both phases: rewarding users for committing Bitcoin to the ecosystem today and unlocking access to higher-yield opportunities planned for Phase 2. We’re in late-stage discussions with potential institutional partners about funding, liquidity, and integrations. Our next development milestone is a controlled pilot demonstrating the full journey from BTC collateral through yield generation and repayment. You can support that work by trying Phase 1 today: https://t.co/KDb1pnt7BH Stake native BTC, earn $KARMA, and help grow Cardano’s Bitcoin ecosystem. BTC Karma charges no staking fees. You only pay Bitcoin network transaction fees. There’s no bridging or wrapping: your BTC stays on Bitcoin and is temporarily locked through a Bitcoin script. You can unlock at any time. This functionality is battle tested and has been live for months. Due to the abrupt cancellation of Catalyst fund 15, we funded the initial build ourselves. Phase 1 has not yet undergone an independent audit, and we’re seeking partner backing to support the next stage, including independent security review. Please understand the locking conditions before participating. Starting with a small amount is reasonable. https://t.co/nOKGa6wCJe We’ve built a smooth staking experience and would welcome your feedback and participation. We’re also exploring a future community airdrop, but we'd really like to see broader community support first. We currently have 40 people staking, but we would like to see more. If you believe Bitcoin inflows can help grow Cardano, we’d appreciate you trying BTC Karma and sharing it with others. Thanks.🙏
