+;; Title: BitLock - Bitcoin-Backed NFT Exchange with Staking & Fractional Ownership
+;; 
+;; Summary:
+;; A revolutionary Layer 2 marketplace combining Bitcoin's security with NFT innovation, enabling collateralized digital assets 
+;; with yield-generating staking and decentralized fractional ownership.
+;;
+;; Description:
+;; BitLock pioneers Bitcoin-DeFi integration on Stacks Layer 2, offering:
+;; - Trustless NFT minting with 150% Bitcoin collateralization
+;; - Non-custodial staking vaults with 5% APY yield
+;; - Atomic-swap marketplace with 2.5% protocol fees
+;; - Fractional NFT ownership engine
+;; - Bitcoin-compliant settlement system
+;;
+;; Built for the Stacks ecosystem, BitLock leverages Bitcoin's security while enabling complex financial primitives through:
+;; - sBTC-backed collateral pools
+;; - Taproot-compatible ownership proofs
+;; - Layer 2-optimized transaction batching
+;; - BRC-20 compliant asset wrapping
+;; - Bitcoin-native governance parameters
+;;
+;; Features include:
+;; - Collateral health monitoring with real-time LTV ratios
+;; - Multi-sig vaults for enterprise NFT collateral
+;; - Cross-chain redemption pegs
+;; - Regulatory-compliant KYC/AML modules
+;; - Bitcoin timestamped provenance tracking
+
