# Roadmap and Future Development
The Bits Protocol launches with single-sided BTC staking: users deposit only BTC (or wrapped variants), which is paired with externally sourced CORE tokens to participate in Core Network’s Dual Staking. This streamlined entry point enables Bitcoin holders to earn yield immediately without managing the CORE side.
At public launch, Bits will introduce single-sided CORE staking as a parallel option. Users can deposit CORE tokens independently, which are then paired with BTC from the existing pool. Incentives from Dual Staking rewards are dynamically allocated based on real-time supply balance:
* If BTC and CORE are proportionally matched for optimal staking efficiency, rewards are distributed proportionally between BTC and CORE depositors.
* If more CORE is needed to pair with available BTC, a larger share of yield is directed to CORE depositors to encourage participation.
* If BTC becomes the limiting factor, incentives shift toward BTC depositors.
This need-based, algorithmic reward distribution encourages the Dual Staking pool to remain balanced and operating at peak yield without requiring users to supply both assets simultaneously.
Following successful implementation on Core, Bits will expand single-sided BTC and CORE staking across compatible ecosystems with dual-staking mechanisms. The BITS token remains the canonical, cross-chain representation of staked value. Yield is aggregated from all supported networks and distributed according to the same balance-driven incentive model, always optimizing for maximum efficiency and returns.
As the protocol scales, its distribution and incentive engine will continuously adapt: monitoring supply ratios, adjusting reward weights, and routing capital across chains to maintain optimal Dual Staking utilization. This unified, self-balancing framework positions Bits as the go-to protocol for secure, yield-optimized Bitcoin participation, starting with Core, and growing into a multichain standard.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.bits.financial/protocol-overview/roadmap-and-future-development.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
