Solv Protocol, in collaboration with BNB Chain, Ceffu, and Chainlink, is excited to announce the launch of the Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL), a innovative framework designed to simplify and standardize Bitcoin staking across multiple blockchain ecosystems.
With the introduction of SAL, Bitcoin holders can now unlock new yield opportunities without sacrificing liquidity or security. This marks a significant breakthrough for Bitcoin, the world’s most dominant cryptocurrency, as it transforms from a passive store of value into a yield-generating asset.
Solv Protocol: Leading Innovations in Bitcoin Staking
Best known for its flagship product, SolvBTC, Solv Protocol is at the forefront of advancing Bitcoin-Finance. Its “Bitcoin Reserve for Everyone”, SolvBTC, is deployed across 10 different blockchain networks, allowing users to stake Bitcoin while maintaining liquidity, revolutionizing DeFi for Bitcoin holders. Since launch, more than 20,000 BTC has been staked through Solv’s products, bringing the Total Value Locked (TVL) of SolvBTC to approximately $1.3 billion.
With the launch of SAL, Solv is expanding its Bitcoin staking capabilities, simplifying a process that has traditionally been limited by Bitcoin’s design and lack of native staking functionality.
SolvBTC LSTs and Their Role in Bitcoin Staking
Solv has launched three successful Bitcoin staking products through SolvBTC:
- SolvBTC.BBN: A liquid staking token representing staked Bitcoin on Babylon, enabling BTC holders to earn staking yields. By staking, users contribute to securing PoS chains with Bitcoin’s $1.3 trillion economic security.
- SolvBTC.ENA: A delta-neutral trading strategy that generates yields through Ethena’s basis-trading, offering returns by hedging Bitcoin’s price volatility.
- SolvBTC.CORE: Focused on providing Bitcoin liquidity to CoreDAO, allowing users to stake BTC to secure the network, receive block rewards, and actively participate in the CoreDAO ecosystem.
These products ensure that Bitcoin holders can earn yield while maintaining liquidity, and now, the SAL Framework ties everything together, enhancing scalability and cross-chain interactions.
SAL: Building the Backbone of Bitcoin Staking
The Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL) isn’t just another staking solution – it is a comprehensive framework designed to aggregate and standardize Bitcoin staking across multiple blockchain networks. Key features of SAL include:
- Cross-Chain Compatibility: Integration with EVM-compatible chains, such as BNB Chain, allows for seamless Bitcoin staking across different networks.
- Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs): SAL supports the issuance of Liquid Staking Tokens that enable users to maintain liquidity while earning staking rewards.
- Security and Custody: With institutional-grade custodians such as Ceffu, SAL ensures that the underlying Bitcoin is secure. Chainlink’s CCIP further enhances this with secure, transparent cross-chain operations.
This new framework aims to solve the key challenges of cross-chain complexity, liquidity limitations, and programmability, providing a standardized solution for Bitcoin staking.
The Road Ahead: Driving Mass Adoption of Bitcoin Staking
As Bitcoin Finance (BTCFi) continues to gain traction, Solv’s Staking Abstraction Layer will be a key driver in the mass adoption of Bitcoin staking, with more partners and integrations set to follow.
“SAL is designed to solve the pain points that have historically kept Bitcoin staking from taking off,” said Ryan Chow, Co-founder & CEO of Solv Protocol. “What excites us most about SAL is its ability to aggregate all the key players – validators, protocols, LST issuers and yield distributors – under one standardized framework. This opens the doors for innovations and yield opportunities that were previously unimaginable. By unifying the experience across chains and removing barriers, we’re enabling a new era of financial opportunities for Bitcoin holders.”
