## Sovryn Unveils Ambitious Plans: Boss Platform Integration and a Dedicated Bitcoin-Secured DeFi Layer on the Horizon
After a brief hiatus, the Sovryn team has returned with major announcements, outlining a future deeply integrated with the Boss platform and the development of the Sovryn layer for Bitcoin-native DeFi. Community Call #70 detailed these strategic moves, highlighting sustained strong performance and an exciting roadmap for growth and innovation.
### Why the Change?
Sovryn’s performance remains robust, with year-to-date staking rewards exceeding **$753,000** and an impressive average **APY of 76%**. This strong foundation provides the perfect launchpad for a strategic evolution. The core motivation is to move beyond the limitations of Rootstock and create a truly trustless, industrial-grade DeFi platform on Bitcoin that is attractive to both retail and institutional players.
### What’s New?
Two major initiatives were announced:
1. **Boss Token Allocation:** Sovryn is allocating **10% of all Boss tokens** to SOV stakers. This significant distribution, valued at an estimated **$20 million**, comes with a one-year cliff and a three-year vesting period, directly rewarding the community and aligning incentives with the broader BitcoinOS ecosystem.
2. **The Sovryn Layer:** This is the most ambitious part of the roadmap. The Sovryn layer will be a native DeFi platform secured directly by Bitcoin, where all transactions are aggregated as ZK proofs. This new layer will feature:
* **A Secure Lending Platform:** For borrowing and lending Bitcoin-native assets.
* **An Efficient DEX:** A new decentralized exchange designed to be far more liquidity-efficient than traditional AMM models, featuring a system where market makers can provide lower slippage and a broader range of tradable assets.
### When is this Happening?
Sovryn has outlined a clear near-term roadmap:
* **BOSS TGE:** Expected in the coming weeks.
* **Sovryn Layer Testnet:** To launch following the TGE.
* **Sovryn Layer Mainnet:** To follow a successful testnet period.
These developments mark a pivotal moment for Sovryn, aiming to enhance security, expand utility, and deliver continued value to its dedicated community.
