Solv Protocol Integrates Bitcoin Holders into Berachain's DeFi Ecosystem with the SolvBTC.BERA Vault

Solv Protocol introduced the SolvBTC.BERA vault on January 13, integrating Bitcoin holders into Berachain's decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Solv Protocol has introduced a new vault, SolvBTC.BERA, that integrates Bitcoin holders into Berachain’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This vault was launched on January 13.

The new vault provides an avenue for Bitcoin and Bitcoin-equivalent asset holders to generate yield within Berachain. Notably, Berachain is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible blockchain that utilizes a proof-of-liquidity consensus mechanism.

Through the SolvBTC.BERA vault, users can deposit Bitcoin, SolvBTC, wrapped Bitcoin, or Coinbase-wrapped Bitcoin to access yield-generation strategies across multiple layers of the Berachain ecosystem. These layers include Solv Season 2, Babylon, Berachain rewards, Kodiak (a liquidity hub), Dolomite (a decentralized money market and DEX platform), and Goldilocks.

To encourage early adoption, Solv Protocol has launched the Boyco pre-deposit campaign, which will reward early users as the vault goes live. It's important to note that deposits into SolvBTC.BERA will be subject to a 90-day lockup period from the launch of Berachain’s mainnet.

Berachain operates with a tri-token model: BERA serves as the native gas token, HONEY is the stablecoin, and BGT is the primary reward and governance token. While BERA and HONEY are tradable, BGT is non-liquid and non-transferable. The issuance fees for the HONEY stablecoin are distributed to BGT holders, bolstering the governance mechanism within the ecosystem.
