Roadmap

Overview

Rover is a liquid staking solution for BTC on Botanix developing in tandem with their roadmap. Phase 1 (Deposit) lets users mint rovBTC 1:1 backed by bridged BTC and earn Protocol Points. Phase 2 aligns with Botanix’s migration from Proof‑of‑Authority (PoA) to Proof‑of‑Stake (PoS), enabling delegation of the pooled BTC to validators so that rovBTC accrues native staking yield from transaction fees.

Stage 1

Stage 1 Rover deploys to mainnet with a one‑way bridge, real‑time monitoring dashboards, and an initial audit reports, setting the stage for staking integration.

Stage 2

Introduces the delegation module: pooled BTC is assigned to whitelisted validators, rewards are accounted for on‑chain, and rovBTC becomes an interest‑bearing token backed by the deposited BTC from stage 1. Stage 2 will be developed and released as Botanix matures from a proof of authority model, at launch, to their proof of stake model.
