What is Solv Protocol?
Solv Protocol is an on-chain Bitcoin reserve and liquid staking ecosystem that bridges Bitcoin with DeFi. Users deposit BTC to mint SolvBTC, a 1:1 backed token that can be used across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.
At its core is the Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL), which enables yield on BTC through liquid staking tokens (SolvBTC.LSTs), covering options like xSolvBTC, SolvBTC.CORE, SolvBTC.JUP, and more—each offering different yield sources and chain exposure.
The protocol maintains robust security with a tiered reserve model—native BTC and high-quality wrapped BTC form the core, while other wrapped assets are capped under innovative reserve limits. All SolvBTC is fully auditable via on-chain proof of reserves.
Additional infrastructure includes cross-chain bridges (e.g., CCIP, Free.tech), Solv Guard for smart contract security, and a modular approach to yield distribution and governance via the native SOLV token. The protocol has been audited by Quantstamp, Certik, SlowMist, Salus, and Secbit.
Solv Protocol stands as a comprehensive Bitcoin DeFi stack—combining liquidity, yield, multi-chain access, and strong security infrastructure in one composable ecosystem.
