stBTC
With ERC-4626 stBTC you have ultimate control over your staked assets, supercharging your staked BTC to deploy in BitcoinFi while continuing to earn on your deposit.
DAO Governed
The future of the protocol will be managed by a DAO, where our community maintains the ongoing health of positions by token voting. Early depositors and community members will have opportunities to join the DAO as it is launched.
Bitcoin-in, Bitcoin-out
No need to switch wallets with our bitcoin-native staking experience. Your bitcoin rewards auto-compound to stBTC and you redeem rewards and your initial stake in BTC.
Open Source by Design
Our team has been building open-source, fully-decentralized products since 2018. All transactions are viewable on-chain and our code is viewable by the public.

The Road to Earning Bitcoin on Bitcoin
FAQ
What happens to my Bitcoin when I stake?
BTC deposited in Acre is used to mint tBTC via Threshold Network. The tBTC is then allocated to select validators of Bitcoin protocols and pools to secure the network and provide liquidity. All BTC movements with Acre can be tracked in the smart contracts on the Ethereum network.

tBTC is secured through the Threshold Network, which uses a decentralized network of nodes and probabilistic guarantees to securely mint tBTC. Threshold Network nodes reach a consensus before executing any kind of mint or redemption, which makes tBTC highly secure and decentralized.
