The Bitcoin ecosystem is undergoing a paradigm shift from 'static value storage' to 'yield-generating assets', and the Solv Protocol, with its ERC-3525 standard and BTC+ strategy, has become a core driver of this transformation. In a recent interview, Solv co-founder Meng Yan revealed its technical architecture and market vision for transforming Bitcoin's trillion-dollar market value into programmable financial infrastructure. @Solv Protocol #BTCUnbound $SOLV
1. ERC-3525: The technical cornerstone of Bitcoin financialization
The ERC-3525 semi-homogeneous token (SFT) standard developed by the Solv team is a key innovation connecting traditional finance with on-chain assets. Its core features include:
• Splittability and Composability: Supports splitting Bitcoin yield rights into notes of different terms or risk levels, for example, splitting the staking yield of 1 BTC into short-term liquidity certificates and long-term compounding certificates.
• Containerized Design: Capable of encapsulating multi-chain assets (such as BTC, ETH, RWA), and automatically allocating yields through smart contracts; currently, SolvBTC has integrated over 10 yield strategies, including Babylon staking and Ethena arbitrage.
• Compliance Adaptation: The transparency and structured characteristics of ERC-3525 make it a compliant yield product foundation certified by Islamic finance, attracting traditional capital such as Middle Eastern sovereign funds.
2. BTC+ Strategy: Building a multi-chain yield network
Solv's 'BTC+' ecosystem achieves three major breakthroughs through the Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL):
• Cross-Chain Liquidity Aggregation: After users deposit native BTC, they can generate SolvBTC with one click, circulating freely across 10 chains such as BNB Chain and Merlin, and accessing over 50 protocols like PancakeSwap and Euler for yield.
• Institutional-Level Risk Control: Utilizing Chainlink Proof of Reserve (PoR) and a dual-layer custody architecture (Fireblocks + Ceffu) to ensure 1:1 asset anchoring; currently managing over 3.3 billion USD in BTC with zero security incident records.
• Yield Diversification: In partnership with the BlackRock BUIDL Fund, introducing U.S. Treasury yields into the Bitcoin ecosystem, with annualized returns reaching 5-6%; simultaneously providing fixed-rate products through protocols like Pendle to meet different risk preferences.
3. The Core Logic of a Hundred Billion Market
Meng Yan pointed out that the explosion of the Bitcoin yield layer relies on two major driving forces:
• Institutional Demand: After the approval of the BTC ETF, the demand for capital efficiency from institutions has created a strong need for 'yield-generating BTC', and Solv has become the only designated BTC yield manager for Binance Earn.
• Technical Inflection Point: Protocols like Babylon have resolved the technical bottleneck of native Bitcoin staking, while Solv's SAL layer further lowers the barriers to cross-chain operations, with TVL growing over 300% annually.
Conclusion
From the financial standardization of ERC-3525 to the ecological synergy of BTC+, Solv is building a Bitcoin yield network compatible with CeFi, DeFi, and TradFi. As the BTCFi market size approaches hundreds of billions, Solv's positioning of 'infrastructure + yield aggregation' may become the financialization hub of trillion-dollar Bitcoin.
