What is Relinx
Relinx is a native self-custody consensus layer built on Bitcoin.
Relinx introduces a new Bitcoin self-custody model that ensures users retain control over their $BTC while also supporting the effective operation of applications on the Relinx consensus layer. Users can earn profits by locking their $BTC in their wallets. Developers can integrate the Relinx SDK into their applications, enabling them to run decentralized applications on Bitcoin.
Relinx's universal consensus layer is built on Bitcoin using an MPC (Multi-Party Computation) network. This layer ensures Bitcoin nativeness while achieving high TPS (Transactions Per Second). Additionally, the universal consensus layer can implement on-chain smart contracts and integrate off-chain services. We call this consensus layer SCC (Self-Custody Consensus).
Key Features:
Self-Custodial: Users run their own custody nodes, select their preferred income methods, and earn corresponding profits.
Nativeness: Everything is built on Bitcoin—no cross-chain transactions, no asset mapping, and no transfers. Relinx only adds Hashed Time Locks to the wallet.
Real-Time: Relinx's universal consensus layer is essentially an MPC network. This framework ensures almost the same TPS as centralized servers. It can implement smart contracts on the blockchain and integrate on-chain and off-chain applications.

For $BTC Holders
For most $BTC holders, Relinx offers a way to earn incentives directly in their own Bitcoin wallets. No cross-chain, no asset mapping, not even transfer transactions are involved. In this process, Relinx utilizes the HTLC of the Lightning Network, adding a hash time lock to the wallet. This essentially binds the asset for a certain period, during which neither the user nor anyone else (without the UTXO private key) can transfer it. These locked assets provide decentralized network, asset assurance, and security for applications on the universal consensus layer. Therefore, users who lock their assets receive corresponding rewards. This solution is more native and secure than traditional Bitcoin projects, as it is built directly on Bitcoin without cross-chain or asset mapping, and no transfers are involved. With just three steps, users can securely earn rewards in their Bitcoin wallets:
Hold $BTC in wallet
Run a Relinx node and add a time lock to the wallet
Select supported applications and wait for distributed earnings
For Developer
Relinx has created a real-time decentralized consensus with a very high TPS, enabling the implementation and integration of both on-chain and off-chain applications. The universal consensus layer of Relinx is essentially an MPC network. This ensures a TPS almost equivalent to that of centralized services, allowing for both on-chain smart contracts and traditional programming.
In this system, only the final confirmation transactions are broadcasted on Bitcoin. The intermediate processes are handled by the MPC network using Accountable Custody Commitments, similar to how the Lightning Network handles intermediate states off-chain. Transactions are only broadcasted to Bitcoin when the parties finally settle.
Developers can embed Relinx's SDK into their applications to create decentralized applications. Each transaction running on Relinx's universal consensus layer is backed by locked assets for asset security, validated by numerous self-custody service votes, and the final ownership transactions are confirmed on Bitcoin.
On this universal consensus layer, both traditional on-chain smart contracts and off-chain services can run and be integrated, enabling the creation of more interesting and versatile applications. For example, Oracles are no longer limited by Chainlink contracts, and settlements no longer suffer huge losses due to DEX or marketplace slippage or depth issues.
