Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for building your EVM-compatible Bitcoin sidechain.
A standard EVM-compatible Bitcoin sidechain deployment takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes architecture design, smart contract development, bridge implementation, and security audits. Complex features like custom consensus mechanisms or advanced DeFi modules can extend this to 8-10 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones during the initial scoping call.
