Token Migration

PreviousGovernance ModelNextProject Roadmap

Last updated 2 months ago

The BTC-S token will first be issued on the Solana blockchain as an SPL token. This strategic approach offers several significant advantages:

  1. Immediate Utility: Users can start interacting with BTC-S tokens on Solana’s established ecosystem from day one. This includes:

    • Participation in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols

    • Staking opportunities for earning passive income

    • Integration with existing Solana wallets and dApps

  2. Liquidity: Access to Solana’s DEXs and liquidity pools provides:

    • Immediate trading opportunities on established Solana DEXs like Raydium and Serum

    • Ability to provide liquidity and earn trading fees

    • Potential for inclusion in Solana-based index funds or ETFs

  3. Cost-Effective: Leveraging Solana’s infrastructure offers:

    • Low transaction fees, often less than $0.01 per transaction

    • High throughput, capable of processing thousands of transactions per second

    • Energy-efficient transactions, aligning with Bitcoin Solaris’ sustainability goals

  4. Ecosystem Exposure: Launching on Solana exposes BTC-S to:

    • Solana’s growing user base, potentially accelerating adoption

    • Opportunities for cross-protocol collaborations within the Solana ecosystem

    • Increased visibility in the broader cryptocurrency market

  5. Development Timeline: This approach allows for:

    • Faster time-to-market for the BTC-S token

    • Concurrent development of the native Bitcoin Solaris blockchain

    • Real-world testing and refinement of tokenomics before native chain launch

Once the Bitcoin Solaris native blockchain launches, a 1:1 redemption process will be implemented. This migration process will include:

  1. Secure Bridge Mechanism:

    • Development of a cross-chain bridge for seamless token transfers

    • Multiple security audits to ensure the integrity of the bridge

    • Gradual rollout to manage risk and ensure stability

  2. User-Friendly Migration:

    • Step-by-step guides and tutorials for token migration

    • Integration with popular wallets for easy redemption process

    • Community support channels to assist users during migration

  3. Incentive Structure:

    • Potential rewards for early migrators to encourage swift adoption

    • Temporary dual-chain operations to ensure smooth transition

  4. Liquidity Management:

    • Coordinated efforts with Solana DEXs to manage liquidity during migration

    • Gradual transition of liquidity from Solana to native Bitcoin Solaris DEXs

  5. Long-term Coexistence:

    • Exploration of long-term wrapped BTC-S on Solana for continued interoperability

    • Development of cross-chain DeFi applications leveraging both ecosystems

This phased approach allows Bitcoin Solaris to leverage Solana’s established infrastructure while building towards full independence. It provides immediate value to early adopters and supporters, while the project continues to develop its unique blockchain solution designed to address Bitcoin’s limitations in scalability, energy efficiency, and smart contract capabilities.

4. Technical Architecture

4.4 Solana Integration and Migration

During the initial phase, Bitcoin Solaris will leverage Solana’s infrastructure:

  1. Token Standard:

    • BTC-S will be created as an SPL token on Solana

    • Compliance with Solana’s token standards ensures compatibility with existing wallets and dApps

    • Implementation of metadata standards for rich token information

  2. Smart Contracts:

    • Initial DeFi functionalities will be implemented using Solana’s smart contract capabilities

    • Utilization of Solana’s Sealevel runtime for parallel transaction processing

    • Potential use of Anchor framework for more secure and efficient smart contract development

  3. Wallet Integration:

    • BTC-S will be compatible with popular Solana wallets like Phantom, Solflare, and Sollet

    • Integration with hardware wallets that support Solana for enhanced security options

    • Development of a custom Bitcoin Solaris wallet with support for both Solana and future native chain

The migration process will involve:

  1. Snapshot:

    • A snapshot of BTC-S holdings on Solana will be taken at a predetermined block height

    • Multiple snapshots may be taken to ensure accuracy and handle any potential network issues

    • Development of a public verification tool for users to check their snapshot balances

  2. Bridge Development:

    • Creation of a secure bridge to facilitate the 1:1 token swap

    • Implementation of multi-signature security measures for bridge operations

    • Regular security audits and potential use of fraud-proof mechanisms

  3. Gradual Migration:

    • Users will have a generous timeframe to migrate their tokens to the native chain

    • Phased migration approach to manage network load and ensure stability

    • Continued support for Solana-based BTC-S for a set period post-migration

  4. Technical Challenges and Solutions:

    • Handling of decimal place differences between Solana and native chain implementations

    • Ensuring transaction finality across both chains during migration

    • Development of fallback mechanisms in case of unforeseen technical issues

This technical approach allows Bitcoin Solaris to benefit from Solana’s robust infrastructure while building and perfecting its native blockchain. The migration process is designed to be secure, user-friendly, and flexible, ensuring a smooth transition for all BTC-S holders.

As we approach the token migration phase for Bitcoin Solaris, we urge all users to exercise extreme caution. Scammers WILL attempt to exploit this process through various means, including:

• Fake migration websites • Unauthorized Telegram groups • Misleading Twitter ads and social media posts • Phishing emails and direct messages

REMEMBER: The official token migration process will ONLY be communicated through Bitcoin Solaris's official channels
