Today marks a big milestone: the stBTC Genesis Vault is officially open — and we’ve just doubled the cap from 50 BTC to 100 BTC. This means more Bitcoin holders can now join early, stake their BTC, and start earning yield backed by real activity on the Botanix network.

stBTC is our new Bitcoin yield standard. It’s simple:

Bitcoin in. More Bitcoin out.

Unlike risky lending schemes of the past, stBTC yield comes directly from transaction fees, and the economic activity is happening every day across various apps built on Botanix. No printing tokens, no hidden rehypothecation. Just cold, hard Bitcoin yield rooted in the most reliable asset in crypto. With the Genesis Vault filling quickly, now is the time to visit our page and deposit BTC for your stBTC.

Why Join the Genesis Vault?

• Be early. The Genesis Vault is your first chance to secure stBTC at launch.

• More room, same opportunity. We’ve doubled the cap from 50 BTC to 100 BTC because of overwhelming demand.

• Proven design. Each stBTC always represents your Bitcoin — but over time, as fees flow through Botanix, your stBTC grows in value.

• Use it everywhere. With stBTC, your Bitcoin doesn’t just sit idle. You can put it to work across apps on Botanix: trading, lending, borrowing, stablecoins, and more.

Where You Can Use stBTC Today

The power of stBTC is that it doesn’t just earn yield — you can use it right away across leading apps on Botanix to earn even more yield:

• GMX – One of the most popular perpetual and spot exchanges, now on Botanix, where stBTC can be used for leveraged trading or as liquidity in pools. Enjoy even better BTC perp DEX results. 

• Dolomite – A next-generation money market where you can lend, borrow, or trade using stBTC as collateral. Borrow stablecoins at negative interest rates against yielding Bitcoin.

• Arch – A decentralized exchange designed with advanced liquidity strategies, enabling stBTC holders to provide liquidity and capture sustainable yield.

• Bitzy – A decentralized exchange focused on accessibility and ease of use, giving stBTC holders new ways to trade and earn yield across the Botanix ecosystem.

These integrations mean your Bitcoin isn’t locked up or sitting idle; it’s simply working across the ecosystem while still growing in value through stBTC.

How It Works in Practice

1. Deposit your BTC into the Genesis Vault.

2. Receive stBTC in return.

3. Hold stBTC, or put it to work in GMX, Dolomite, Arch, Bitzy, or other apps on Botanix.

4. Over time, 1 stBTC becomes redeemable for more BTC — powered by real fees, not promises.

Why This Matters for Bitcoin

For years, Bitcoin holders have had to choose: hold their BTC safely, or risk it in centralized schemes that too often failed. With stBTC and the Botanix network, you no longer have to choose. You can keep your Bitcoin secure while finally earning the highest yields in the market all while accessing the best borrowing rates in the world for Bitcoin, transparently, on-chain, and backed by real usage.

The Genesis Vault is step one in building a new financial system on Bitcoin. If you’ve been waiting for a way to make your Bitcoin work for you, this is it.

The stBTC Genesis Vault is open now on our yield page — capped at 100 BTC. Once it’s filled, you will still be able to buy it on the native DEXs Bitzy or Arch. Don’t miss your chance to be part of Bitcoin’s new economy.
