BTCFi Builders Face 4 Major Hurdles

BTCFi Builders Face

4 Major Hurdles

Custody Challenges

Porting Bitcoin to dApps often introduces custodial risk, relying on third-party signers that can compromise user funds.

Native Anchoring

Bitcoin lacks native anchoring for off-chain logic. Most systems depend on external consensus or weak verification methods, breaking trust-minimization at the base layer.

Developer Ecosystem

Bitcoin's scripting limits force devs to choose between building off-chain or creating new languages (like Clarity, Motoko). Ecosystem fragmentation and steep learning curve block adoption.

Ecosystem fragmentation and steep learning curve block adoption.

User Experience

WrappedBTC UX is broken: juggling multiple wallets, gas tokens, and blind signing makes it unusable for most. wBTC stats reflect that.

Let's Talk

About Surge

Surge was founded in June 2024 by Yash Belavadi (CEO), Punith (CTO), and a team of seasoned Web3 builders with deep experience in EVM, Cosmos, and self-custody systems.

We raised our pre-seed round in October 2024, backed by founders and early believers who saw the potential for truly Bitcoin-native infrastructure.

In our second architecture (V2), we shipped full documentation, a litepaper, and began engaging early builders. But as the space evolved, we realized V2 didn’t go far enough.

V3 is different. It’s a fundamental leap forward—an architecture that not only builds on the learnings from V2, but breaks into an entirely new design space. We’re heads down bringing V3 to life, and will be sharing more very soon.
