What are "sats"?
A "sat" (short for satoshi) is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, named after Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
1 sat = 1×10⁻⁸ BTC
Instead of thinking in confusing scientific notation like 1×10⁻⁵ BTC, you can think in whole numbers like 1,000 sats. This makes tracking your Bitcoin growth more intuitive and motivating!
Why Satoshi Tokens?
🔢 Big‑number clarity
- Display balances in sats to make progress obvious and motivating
- See 100,000 sats instead of 1×10⁻³ BTC
- Track growth with whole numbers, not scientific notation
- Psychology of abundance drives engagement

How it Works
Deposit tBTC to mint tSAT
Swap your tBTC tokens for tSAT tokens at a fixed 1:100,000,000 ratio. Every tSAT represents one satoshi of Bitcoin.
Transfer tSATs to anyone
Send tSAT tokens to any Solana wallet with fast, low-cost transactions. Perfect for payments, DeFi, or holding.
Redeem tSATs for tBTC
Convert your tSATs back to tBTC any time from locked reserves with guaranteed 1:1 backing.
Backing and Reserves
Every Satoshi token represents one satoshi of Bitcoin and is fully collateralized by Threshold Network's tBTC reserves. The backing is secured through an immutable smart contract framework with the following key features:
🔒 Custody
- Held by a smart contract with fixed rules
- No human intervention possible
- Immutable contract logic
- Transparent and verifiable
🔍 Anyone can Audit
- All transactions are public on Solana
- Real-time reserve verification
- Open-source smart contracts
- Community-driven oversight
📊 Token Mechanics
- Fixed 100,000,000 tSAT = 1 tBTC ratio
- Maximum supply: 21T tSAT (210,000 BTC equivalent)
- Only 1% of all Bitcoin can become tSAT
- Market forces will balance supply and demand
Security Features
The tSAT protocol implements multiple layers of security:
- Governance-controlled upgrade authority: Managed by multi-signature address with transparent upgrade process
- Fixed Ratio Trading integration: Locked liquidity ensures 1:1 redeemability
- Burned LP tokens: All liquidity provider tokens have been permanently destroyed, locking the reserves
- Open-source verification: All code is publicly available on GitHub
Proof‑of‑Reserves
All tSAT tokens are verifiably backed by tBTC reserves locked in the Fixed Ratio Trading smart contract. Here's the complete transaction history:

Frequently Asked Questions
The full story: tSAT was created with a maximum supply of 21 trillion tokens (equivalent to 210,000 BTC or 1% of Bitcoin's total supply). All 21T tokens were minted at genesis and locked in the Fixed Ratio Trading smart contract.
FDV vs Market Cap:
- Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV): 21 trillion tokens × current price = $24.6 billion
- Actual Market Cap: ~80 million tokens × current price = ~$96,000
Why the difference? Only 0.0004% of the total supply is currently in circulation! The vast majority (over 99.99%) remains locked in the FRT smart contract as backing reserves. tSAT only enters circulation when users deposit tBTC to mint it.
Real Market Value: The actual market cap reflects only the circulating supply that's actively being traded. As adoption grows and more users mint tSAT, the circulating supply (and real market cap) will increase organically based on demand.
