Cross-chain wallet vision

Biti Vision

The product thinking behind Biti: a self-custody wallet that makes cross-chain movement safe, transparent, and complete—from signature to destination.

01

Product Vision

Biti is a self-custody wallet built for people who move value across chains. The vision rests on four pillars:

  • Hold assets safely across multiple networks.
  • Move value anywhere with reviewed, transparent routes.
  • Enable staking workflows at the destination chain.
  • Make cost, route, and risk visible before every signature.

Ease of use should never come at the cost of self-custody or onchain transparency. Biti pairs both.

02

Mission

Enable anyone to use multichain crypto without becoming a protocol expert.

03

Target Users

  • Primary: retail users who hold assets on major EVM chains and want simpler cross-chain movement.
  • Secondary: power users who value execution quality, route control, and transparent fees.
  • Tertiary: global users in underbanked regions who rely on crypto rails for everyday value transfer.
04

Core Problems

  • Fragmented UX across chains, bridges, and DEXs.
  • Hidden fees and unclear slippage or MEV risk.
  • Confusing approvals and signing flows.
  • Poor handling of cross-chain failures and stuck transactions.
  • Security fatigue: it is hard to tell safe actions from unsafe ones.
05

Product Principles

  • Safety first: simulation, risk signals, and explicit approval by default.
  • Clarity over cleverness: plain-language summaries for every action.
  • Best execution: routes ranked by real net outcome, not marketing.
  • Progressive disclosure: simple by default, powerful when needed.
  • Open ecosystem: integrate the best providers rather than lock users in.
  • Reliability as a feature: predictable behavior across the full lifecycle.
06

Value Proposition

  • One wallet for multiple chains.
  • One swap interface for same-chain and cross-chain trades.
  • A bridge-to-staking pathway that completes the user journey.
  • Human-readable signing with risk flags before approval.
  • A unified portfolio view across networks.

Why staking matters: a cross-chain swap is rarely the end goal. When movement connects directly to destination-chain staking opportunities—especially on Solana—the swap becomes a complete workflow instead of a stranded step.

07

Product Scope (V1)

In scope

  • Non-custodial wallet with local key management
  • Multi-chain account management (EVM-first)
  • Token transfers and same-chain swaps
  • Cross-chain swaps via external aggregators
  • Staking handoffs at the destination chain
  • Real-time quotes with full fee breakdowns
  • Transaction simulation with warnings
  • Transaction lifecycle tracking
  • Address book and portfolio dashboard

Out of scope

  • Perpetuals and options trading
  • Comprehensive tax tooling
  • Global fiat onramps
  • A fully custom smart routing engine
08

UX North Star

One intent, one confirmation. Before any signature, the user sees a single readable summary:

  • Amount paid and minimum received
  • Full fee breakdown
  • Estimated completion time
  • Route providers involved
  • Risk indicators, if any

After signing: a legible timeline, recovery across app restarts, and one-tap retry when a step fails.

09

Trust & Security Vision

  • Local key management—keys never leave the device.
  • Mandatory transaction simulation before signing.
  • Contract and spender risk scoring.
  • Allowance management with revoke recommendations.
  • Anti-phishing signals on addresses and domains.
  • Emergency incident protocols with clear user communication.
10

Chain Strategy

Phase 1

  • Ethereum
  • Base
  • Arbitrum
  • Optimism
  • BNB Chain
  • Polygon

Phase 2

  • Solana as the first non-EVM destination
  • Additional ecosystems based on liquidity and demand
11

Liquidity & Routing Strategy

  • External aggregators behind a clean abstraction layer.
  • Routes ranked by net output, reliability, and completion time.
  • Continuous provider health tracking.
  • Provider-agnostic routing—no single point of dependence.
12

Differentiation

  • Radical execution transparency: no hidden spreads.
  • Cross-chain state observability throughout the swap lifecycle.
  • A complete destination experience connecting movement to staking.
  • Human-readable signing and risk-first design.
  • Reliability treated as a product feature, not an afterthought.
13

Business Model Hypothesis

  • Primary: a transparent take-rate on swap fees.
  • Secondary: a premium tier for analytics, alerts, automation, and API access.
  • Optional: partner revenue share with routing providers.
14

Success Metrics

15

Product Roadmap

Stage 1 · Launch (3 months)

  • Month 1: wallet core, chain abstraction, signing, EVM baseline
  • Month 2: multi-provider quotes, cross-chain flows, fee transparency
  • Month 3: transaction timeline UX, security warnings, allowance manager, launch hardening

Stage 2 · Expansion

  • Additional chains, with Solana as the priority
  • Provider reliability scoring
  • Advanced controls: slippage, gas presets, route preferences
  • Power features: alerts, automation, team wallets, portfolio intelligence
16

Technical Vision

  • Mobile-first product with a web companion.
  • Deterministic account abstraction over chain-specific signing.
  • A unified intent-to-execution pipeline.
  • Event-sourced transaction tracker for multi-step lifecycles.
  • Simulation plus heuristic risk scoring on every action.
  • Structured observability and SLA dashboards.
17

Key Risks & Mitigations

  • Bridge or provider failures → multi-provider fallback and health-based routing.
  • Security exploits → contract allowlisting and rapid revoke UX.
  • Regulatory shifts → modular regional feature flags.
  • Complexity creep → strict scope control and progressive disclosure.

Vision Statement

Biti becomes the default rail for value movement across crypto networks: secure by design, transparent by default, and simple enough for mainstream users without compromising power for experts.

Secure by design, transparent by default.
