Lying down is not enough; you also need to know how to turn.
My experiences after throwing Bitcoin into Solv
I'll share my personal experiences with everyone.
Friends, I admit—previously, I held onto Bitcoin as if it were a family heirloom, just “holding tight and not moving.” As a result, I was just a long-term bull in my emotions during the ups and downs. It wasn't until I started using Solv recently that I discovered Bitcoin can maintain liquidity while participating in DeFi scenarios to earn some “real interest.” Don't roll your eyes just yet; I'm not promoting anything, just sharing how this logic comes together.
What does Solv aim to solve?
In simple terms, Solv attempts to transform “BTC that originally stays on-chain” into an asset form that is “circulating, generating returns, and does not affect your use.” A common problem with traditional staking is: once locked, it's dead, and you can't move it when you want to use it. Solv's direction is to tokenize/certify your BTC, allowing it to circulate in different scenarios; at the same time, it seeks sources of income through strategy combinations and cooperative ecosystems.
2) How does it turn “dead money into live money”?
Cross-chain connectivity: BTC is inherently conservative, and Solv uses cross-chain and intermediate layers to bring the “value of BTC” to richer DeFi lands for cultivation (lending, market-making, yield farming, etc.).
Usable and earnable: After obtaining the income certificate, you can continue to use this certificate for collateral, providing liquidity, effectively letting one asset do two jobs.
Strategy combinations: Breaking down single-source income into multiple channels to smooth out fluctuations while avoiding putting all risks on one play.
3) Users’ intuitive feelings
No need to sacrifice liquidity: When you need money, the certificate can circulate or be exchanged, at least it won’t be “locked to suffocation.”
Returns are more “decent”: Not relying on betting direction, but accumulating through strategies and scenarios.
Combination options: Conservative, balanced, aggressive; different strategy styles, choose your own flavor.
4) Don’t ignore the risks
Cross-chain and contract risks: No matter how audited the bridges, contracts, and custodians are, treat them as “potentially having accidents.”
Returns are not guaranteed: Strategy performance and market fluctuations will affect the annualized yield.
Liquidity timing: In extreme markets, redemptions and discounts may occur.
My habit: Small positions to test the waters → understand the rules → then gradually increase positions; at the same time, keep some spare cash on hand, avoiding full-position big risks. #BTCUnbound $SOLV @Solv Protocol
