🧾 How to Create a Verified BTC Reserve
ReserveBTC allows any Bitcoin holder to prove their on-chain BTC reserves — without giving up custody — by following a simple verification process.
🪪 Step 1 — Submit Verification Form
To begin, the user fills out the verification form on reservebtc.io:
- Enter a BTC address you control (Taproot, SegWit, or Legacy supported).
- Enter an ETH address to receive the rBTC-SYNTH token.
- Optionally, enter your website or social media if you wish to publish your proof.
Once submitted, the system generates a unique BTC address and a checksum amount (e.g., 0.001729 BTC).
💱 Step 2 — Send the Exact Amount
- The user must send exactly the assigned checksum amount to the generated BTC address.
- This proves ownership of the original wallet and creates a deterministic, fraud-resistant fingerprint.
- Transactions are monitored in real-time.
Important: This is not a payment or transfer — the BTC never leaves your full control.
🔍 Step 3 — Automatic Detection
Once the transaction is confirmed on-chain:
- The backend system validates that:
- The correct amount has arrived
- To the assigned verification address
- The BTC address is marked as verified
- The smart contract mints
rBTC-SYNTHto the user’s ETH address
