Sova is a new blockchain designed to add programmability to Bitcoin. While Bitcoin secures the most global economic value of any blockchain, applications and utility beyond value storage and exchange via $BTC are limited.

Sova introduces a new EVM-compatible blockchain with a set of precompile-based VM extensions, combined with validator-level bindings to Bitcoin Core, that enables a smart contract execution environment to interact with Bitcoin and its native assets, such as BTC, Runes and Ordinals. Using pooled security from Ethereum mainnet, the network will quickly bootstrap its economic security to the requisite level for enforcing honest, user-initiated operation on Bitcoin and interaction with Bitcoin-native assets.
