Most people keep their Bitcoin just sitting in a wallet.
It looks nice there, but it’s not really doing anything.
@Solv Protocol wants to change that.
It’s building a system where your Bitcoin can work for you, earn rewards, move between blockchains, and join the DeFi world, all while you still keep control.
What Solv Does
You give your Bitcoin to Solv’s secure reserve.
In return, you get SolvBTC a token that represents your Bitcoin 1:1.
You can use SolvBTC in many places: lending, trading, staking, or putting it in vaults that give rewards.
When you’re ready, you can swap your SolvBTC back for your real Bitcoin.
It’s like giving your gold to a trusted vault, getting a gold receipt, and then using that receipt anywhere you want, while the real gold stays safe.
Why This Matters
Bitcoin is huge, but on its own, it can’t join smart contracts or most DeFi tools.
Solv makes Bitcoin liquid and useful in other ecosystems.
You can earn from your BTC without selling it or locking it away for years.
Extra Features
Cross-chain moves → Your Bitcoin value can work on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and more.
Vault products like BTC+ → You put in your BTC, the vault spreads it into safe yield strategies, and you get rewards.
Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) → Tokens that give you rewards but are still easy to trade.
Institution-ready → Big investors like clear audits, transparent reserves, and safe custody, and Solv focuses on all of that.
Safety and Trust
Solv’s smart contracts are audited by known security teams.
It uses tools like Chainlink Proof of Reserve to show that every SolvBTC is backed by real BTC.
Users can check the reserves and see how much BTC is stored.
Who Can Use Solv
Anyone with Bitcoin who wants to earn extra without losing control.
Traders who want to use BTC in DeFi strategies.
Institutions that need safe, audited, and transparent systems for large BTC holdings.
How You Use It
Deposit Bitcoin into Solv’s reserve.
Get SolvBTC in your wallet.
Use SolvBTC in vaults, lending, or trading.
Swap back to Bitcoin when you want.
The Big Picture
Solv is trying to build a Bitcoin-powered financial world.
It’s about taking the most powerful crypto and letting it work instead of sleep.
But remember, DeFi always has risks: smart contract bugs, market drops, and changes in rules. Only use what you can afford to risk.
