With Bitcoin reaching unprecedented heights, it’s increasingly evident that investing in Bitcoin is a strategy that consistently proves its merit. As we anticipate the upcoming Bitcoin halving, our team has been diligently preparing BTCFi — a groundbreaking platform engineered to transform your Bitcoin investment journey.

The launch of this service is imminent, and our excitement is through the roof. To spread the enthusiasm, we’re inviting you to get a firsthand glimpse of what BTCFi offers. This platform empowers you to generate passive income from your BTC, and through our pre-launch campaign, you have the opportunity to earn rewards by depositing BTC, mirroring the benefits of the full service.

During this campaign, we’re distributing a total of 1.2 BTC among participants! Valued at around $73,000 USD as of March 14th, this giveaway is our way of expressing our gratitude to our early users, and to have our users experience what it’s like to generate passive income from just holding BTC.

Depending on how many BTC is deposited, the amount of reward received during this pre-launch period will be anywhere between 6% to 30% APY for users during the event period. When considering that most centralized BTC custody services offer returns of less than 1% for BTC, the potential yields from BTCFi present a compelling case for transferring your BTC from centralized exchanges to explore the advantages of a DeFi service.

Until now you’ve only seen the articles and the diagrams — but now it’s time for you to experience BTCFi.

BTCFi is the new way of investing in Bitcoin — it acts as a risk-minimized, revenue-earning DeFi finance service, as well as a convenient self-custody platform. By enabling Bitcoin holders to earn additional revenue through decentralized staking, BTCFi offers users unparalleled flexibility, autonomy, and the ability to participate in the decentralized finance ecosystem without compromising their Bitcoin holdings.

And now, you can experience what it is, by participating in our pre-launch. The details are as follows:

  1. Event details

This event is an event that rewards users that deposit BTC prior to the official launch of BTCFi, and to experience the actual service upon launch by minting BtcUSD to deposit into Everdex pool (BtcUSD-USDC).

  • Pre-launch period: March 14, 2024 ~ April 17th, 2024
  • The first 120 BTC depositors will be eligible for participation.
  • The total amount of reward is 1.2 BTC, and will be distributed according to how much point the user accumulates in comparison to the overall points given out.
  • The reward will be paid in BTC(BTCB).
  • The deposited amount will be rounded to the nearest 0.001 BTC.

2. Point calculations

  • 0.001 BTC deposited, or equivalent, will be counted as 1 point.
  • Points earned will be proportional to the BTC the user deposits, and to the deposits made by users referred by the referrer.
    Example) 1 BTC deposited = 1,000 points, 0.1 BTC deposited = 100 points
    If Alice refers Bob, and Bob deposits 1 BTC, both Alice and Bob are eligible for 1,000 points.

3. Referral details

  • Upon connecting a wallet(i.e. Pockie) at the “Points” page, the wallet address is imbued with a referral code automatically.
  • The referrer will receive points proportional to deposits made through their referral link.
  • There is no limit to how many users a referral link can invite, and only the person who the referral link originated from will be eligible for the referral points.
    Example 1) Bob deposits 1 BTC, through Alice’s referral link, both will receive points proportional to 1 BTC. (1,000 points)
    Example 2) If Bob is referred by Alice, but Bob does not deposit; instead, Bob refers Charlie, and Charlie deposits 1 BTC. Bob and Charlie will receive points proportional to 1 BTC (1,000 points), and Alice will not receive any points.
  • If the user connects their wallet through a referral link, their wallet will remain locked to that referral code.
    - The referral link will stay the same until the user connects using a different referral link.
    - To use a different referral link, you must connect using the referral link you want.
  • If the user deposit at least once using a referral code, then the wallet is locked to that referral code and will not be able to use another referral code.
