Summary of Capabilities

Helios lets Bitcoin holders put idle BTC to work or unlock liquidity—without ever leaving the Bitcoin security model.

• Earn or borrow: Deposit BTC or BTC-native assets to accrue yield, or post assets as over-collateralized security to borrow additional BTC, stablecoins, or other assets.

• Flash loans: Instantly borrow any reserve asset with zero upfront collateral—provided the loan (plus a small premium) is repaid within the same transaction. Use cases include arbitrage, self-liquidation, and one-click refinancing. The premium flows straight back to depositors as extra yield, while unreturned loans simply revert the entire TX, keeping pool funds safe.

• Tax-efficient liquidity for miners: Mining treasuries can pledge freshly minted BTC to obtain stablecoins instead of selling or wrapping, sidestepping taxable disposal events while retaining upside exposure.

• BTC-denominated accounting: All loans, interest accruals, and risk metrics are expressed in satoshis, keeping incentives fully aligned with long-term Bitcoin accumulation.

• Single-transaction UX: A single Bitcoin transaction handles deposit, withdrawal, repay—or a flash-loan cycle—no multi-step bridging or wrapping.

• Partial collateral swaps: Borrowers can dynamically rebalance collateral versus debt without closing positions.

• Adaptive interest & risk controls: Rates, LTVs, and liquidation thresholds auto-adjust block-by-block to mempool congestion and price volatility.

• Optional compliance modules: Role-based permissions, BIP-322 attestations, and KYC/KYB hooks integrate seamlessly with custodians, fund administrators, and auditors.
