About

Perch BTC

Features
Read full description

Your STX earns real Bitcoin every Stacking cycle. Perch is the iOS app that shows it landing. Paste any Stacks address or .btc name and get the full picture in ten seconds: liquid and locked STX, how far the current cycle has filled, projected sats this cycle, and every payout that actually landed. No account. No keys. No seed phrase. ANY ADDRESS. TEN SECONDS. Type or scan an STX address, or just a .btc name. BNS names resolve everywhere. Watch as many addresses as you like and switch between them in a tap. PAYOUTS, NOT PROMISES. Every reward shown is Bitcoin that actually landed, counted in sats. Solo stackers see their exact payouts, cycle by cycle. Pool members see the pool's payouts, clearly labeled as the whole pool's. Realized yield comes from your own history, never a marketing APY. YOUR LOCK SCREEN KNOWS FIRST. The Cycle Ring widget shows how close the next payout is, on the Lock Screen or the Home Screen. The Bitcoin Earned widget keeps lifetime sats and the last payout one glance away. Ask Siri how much Bitcoin you have earned this year with the built-in Shortcut. ALERTS THAT EARN THEIR PLACE. A heads-up before the cycle closes. A warning when your lock is about to end, so you never miss an extend. And the one that matters most: your STX is liquid, idle, and leaving sats on the table. All scheduled on your phone. No servers, no account. THE SIMULATOR. Type any STX amount and see projected sats, with the assumptions spelled out. HONEST BY DESIGN. Perch reads public chain data and never touches your funds. Stacking itself is non-custodial: locked STX stays in the protocol's contract under your own keys. Amounts are shown in STX and sats only, never fiat. Projections are labeled as projections. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sign, nothing to phish. Everything is computed on your device. WHAT IS STACKING? Stacking is the Stacks blockchain's consensus mechanism. STX holders lock tokens to help secure the network, and every reward cycle (about two weeks) Bitcoin flows from miners to Stackers, as BTC for solo stackers or as sBTC through a pool. It is the only major protocol whose native reward is actual Bitcoin. Perch watches the chain so you can watch it land. Perch is a watch-only tool built on StacksKit, an open-source Swift SDK for Stacks. It is not a wallet, an exchange, or a financial institution. Yields float from cycle to cycle and pool to pool, and past payouts do not guarantee future rewards.
