# Launch Roadmap

To ensure a secure and scalable rollout, **`strBTC` will be launched in three progressive phases**:

* **Phase 0 – Soft Launch**: Only whitelisted native BTC deposits are accepted, and `strBTC` issuance is controlled manually by a trusted federation. This stage focuses on liquidity bootstrapping, system testing, and evaluating initial yield strategies.
* **Phase 1 – Native Staking**: The bridge is deployed with a permissioned operator set, but without full cryptoeconomic guarantees. This phase validates operational assumptions and begins real usage of the infrastructure.
* **Phase 2 – Full Economic Security**: The bridge transitions to being **secured by restaked assets** (via Eigenlayer, Symbiotic, etc.), enabling slashing-based protection against operator misbehavior. This marks the full realization of `strBTC` as an economically secure, yield-bearing Bitcoin asset.

Each phase is designed to progressively reduce trust assumptions while increasing decentralization, resilience, and utility for `strBTC` holders.
