# vetBTC & vetETH

The vet primitive framework extends Vetro's settlement and yield architecture beyond dollar-denominated assets to BTC and ETH. The same smart contract architecture, yield infrastructure, and governance system that powers VUSD applies to all vet assets.

## The vet Primitive Pattern

Every vet asset vertical follows an identical three-token structure:

| Token         | Role                                                                                                                                                     |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **vetASSET**  | Base settlement — a 1:1 synthetic representation of the underlying reference asset, designed for cross-chain settlement and institutional collateral use |
| **svetASSET** | Variable yield — the opt-in productivity layer; users stake vetASSET to receive svetASSET and capture real-time yield from asset-specific strategies     |
| **vetASSETx** | Fixed-term — a term-locked instrument with a guaranteed yield rate for a defined epoch, suitable for institutional treasury planning                     |

## vetBTC

Users swap in approved BTC-denominated assets and receive vetBTC as a settlement-grade synthetic representation. Staking vetBTC into svetBTC opts the user into variable yield generated by BTC-denominated strategies.

## vetETH

vetETH functions as a settlement-grade ETH representation. svetETH provides the variable yield layer for users who want productive exposure to ETH without managing yield strategies themselves.

## Activation

Each new asset vertical requires a veVETRO governance vote before activation. The infrastructure required — oracle integration, yield strategy approval, collateral whitelisting — is already present in the core architecture and does not require new contract deployments.

## Technical Guardrails

* **Redundant Oracle Mapping**: Each vertical is bound to a decentralized price feed with configurable staleness and deviation thresholds
* **Isolated Treasury Vaults**: Collateral for each vet vertical is held in segregated sub-vaults with independent swap-in/swap-out toggles
* **Governance Activation**: Formal veVETRO vote required before any new vertical goes live

## 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.vetro.org/products/vetbtc-veteth.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
