Today, we delved into the Sovereign ecosystem, focusing on the Zero Protocol that allows borrowing against Bitcoin without interest or KYC. We explored setting up a compatible wallet, pegging Bitcoin into the Rootstock side chain, and using it as collateral. The tutorial highlighted risks, including liquidation and redemption mechanics. Sovereign's governance token, Sov, offers a share of origination fees. The Stability Pool maintains solvency by burning stablecoins to pay off liquidated debts.
