FAQs

Wen launch?

The plan is to launch the first relics indexer in February 2025. An initial implementation of the relics indexer was already launched by Bones Protocol and is running on Dogecoin.

Relics vs. Generic Smart Contracts on Bitcoin?

Our feature ideas will not make relics generally programmable and we're not aiming for smart contract functionality.

Will there be a frontend for the swaps?

We are working on a swap interface with an embedded BTC wallet. The swap interface will also be open source and any company or individual can host it for others. We will not run any (paid) services.

Swapping against BTC?

On-chain liquidity pools with BTC don't work with Bitcoin's current functionality. That's why a base relic is needed to swap against.

However, with the AMM pools it will be possible to swap against wrapped BTC relics (like "WBTC") with a centralized reserve.

The same would work for stable coins like e.g. USDC.
