BitYield
Q2 2026
BitYield is building a consumer-grade Bitcoin yield dashboard that lets BTC holders access Stacks yield opportunities without needing to understand sBTC, STX, or DeFi. The grant supports mainnet-ready deposit flows, live protocol routing, and a closed beta with on-chain adoption evidence from real users.
Mainnet-Ready Deposit Flow
Mainnet-Ready Deposit Flow Complete the BitYield mainnet-ready deposit flow from wallet connection through deposit confirmation; display user wallet balance, available yield opportunity, expected yield rate, protocol information, and relevant risk/audit disclosures; implement the deposit preview and confirmation flow for a Stacks yield protocol; support fee abstraction or a user experience that does not require the user to manually manage STX for gas where technically feasible; maintain the public repository with setup instructions, deployment details, and updated implementation notes; provide a demo video showing the full mainnet-ready deposit flow.
Live Protocol Routing Integrated
Live Protocol Routing Integrated Integrate BitYield with live Stacks yield protocol routing; support routing into at least two Stacks yield opportunities, such as Zest, Dual Stacking, Hermetica, or another Endowment-approved Stacks yield protocol; complete at least one successful mainnet deposit or protocol interaction through the BitYield interface for each integrated route; display route-specific yield information, user position status, and relevant protocol risk information; provide transaction evidence, updated documentation, and a demo video covering the integrated routing flow.
Closed Beta + On-Chain Adoption Evidence
Closed Beta + On-Chain Adoption Evidence Launch a closed beta with real Bitcoin holders; enable closed beta users to complete mainnet deposits into Stacks yield opportunities through BitYield; track beta conversion from invite or waitlist through wallet connection, deposit attempt, and completed deposit; provide evidence of independent user completion without founder assistance; publish a final grant update with links to product, repo, documentation, demo, transaction evidence, beta results, user feedback summary, and known limitations. Usage requirements: at least 15 closed beta users invited; at least 10 closed beta users connect a wallet through BitYield; at least 5 non-team users complete a mainnet deposit through BitYield; at least 5 total mainnet deposit transactions completed; at least $1,000 equivalent in aggregate user deposits routed; at least 3 users complete the deposit flow independently without founder assistance; at least 5 beta users provide structured feedback on the flow, trust assumptions, risk disclosures, and likelihood of using BitYield again.
