Neutron is on a mission to democratize access to the best financial opportunities. As the first integrated blockchain, Neutron combines high-performance, built-in infrastructure with atomic composability — enabling new financial products, better capital efficiency, and a seamless user experience.

Finance is Broken

Traditional finance has always been about keeping the best opportunities for insiders. Billions remain unbanked, while the wealthy enjoy better rates, services, and opportunities, exacerbating inequality. Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency aimed at addressing these problems, built to separate money from state. But while the industry and asset have been legitimized through things like the BTC ETF, we have yet to take the next step in transforming it into a productive asset capable of offering real returns beyond price appreciation. An asset that can not only be held by anyone, but one that offers them sustainable real yield and empowers them to benefit from an open financial system. Strides have been made that allow BTC holders to access new financial opportunities, but key challenges have prevented BTCFi from taking off:
  • BTC yields remain driven by expiring points programs and inflationary token incentives
  • DeFi strategies for BTC are limited
  • Providing BTC liquidity on-chain carries too much risk of loss

Neutron: Where Bitcoin Goes to Grow

Fortunately, the above are all solvable problems — ones Neutron is uniquely well-positioned to solve with:
  • maxBTC: Tokenized real yield on BTC.
  • Supervaults: Advanced market-making vaults that protect deposits from being frontrun while offering CEX-level prices to traders on-chain.
  • Isolated Lending Markets: Independent lending markets that maximize leverage while minimizing risks.
Together, these tools create an ecosystem of real yield opportunities for BTC. DeFi’s largest and most successful strategies — such as leveraged looping — will be made available to any BTC holder on-chain for the first time ever, allowing for 50% or more of real yield on BTC.

Bitcoin Summer

Neutron offers the most attractive risk-adjusted yields on BTC across the entire crypto industry. BTC holders can stack more BTC – in addition to other rewards – by participating in Bitcoin Summer: Neutron’s multi-phase BTC yield campaign in partnership with Lombard, EtherFi, Bedrock, Wrapped Bitcoin, Babylon, Structured, Amber, Valence, Mars, and Astroport. There are three ways to participate in Bitcoin Summer:
  1. Deposit in a Bitcoin Summer vault or position
  2. Loop maxBTC on Amber
  3. Lend BTC assets on Amber
Participants earn:
  • Real BTC yield, powered by maxBTC
  • Partner token airdrops (ETHFI, SOLV, and others)
  • NTRN rewards
  • Lending yield from Amber Finance
  • Swap fees from Supervaults

How it works

BTC holders can deposit WBTC, eBTC, solvBTC, uniBTC, and LBTC into a variety of Bitcoin Summer vaults based on their yield, risk, and asset preferences. Lending and DEX liquidity sourced through these vaults unlocks leveraged BTC looping – one of DeFi’s largest and most successful strategies previously unavailable to BTC holders at scale. Through maxBTC – an asset that tokenizes real BTC yield from both on- and off-chain strategies – depositors can earn a base BTC yield of ~5-10%, with the potential to leverage their position up to 10x via looping. As maxBTC looping demand grows, Bitcoin Summer vault depositors capture higher yields through swap fees and lending income paid by loopers. Ready to start earning?

NTRN: The Lynchpin of the Neutron Economy

With a fixed supply and zero inflation, NTRN is the native token that powers Neutron’s decentralized economy. With NTRN, you can:
  • Stake to secure the network and earn rewards
  • Boost your Bitcoin Summer rewards up to 3x
  • Earn swap fees by providing liquidity in Supervaults
  • Earn real yield through lending
  • Trade crypto with leverage
  • Take out loans
  • Purchase NFTs
  • Vote on governance proposals
  • Save 30% on transaction fees
Neutron offers a suite of products that allow BTC holders to earn real yield on their hard-earned BTC. As the demand for BTC yield on Neutron increases, NTRN stakers capture the value of the network in transaction fees and a reduced supply of NTRN tokens through token burns. NTRN is tradable on Binance, Kraken, Kucoin, and Bybit, as well as on the Neutron app where you can buy and sell NTRN through decentralized venues using tokens from 100+ different networks.

Core Architectural Principles

What This Means in Practice

Unlike other networks where applications are isolated in the VM, apps on Neutron can tap directly into the network’s bespoke resources. Developers can leverage purpose-built infrastructure that enables superior designs impossible to build elsewhere. Applications on Neutron benefit from:
  • Per-block price oracles without third-party dependencies
  • Integrated automation for consistent execution of critical functions
  • Trust-minimized cross-chain account control and state queries
  • Native market primitives for efficient capital allocation
