Beyond Capturing CeFi and DeFi Yields

Our journey began with the simple goal of providing Bitcoin holders with high-quality yields. This started with our GMX Vaults, which use market-making on GMX to collect trading fees. Our GMX vaults accumulated a TVL of $100 million across six vaults, generating over $5 million in yield for our users.

Recognizing that a significant portion of liquidity still lies in CeFi, we partnered with multiple leading asset management teams to help run delta-neutral trading strategies for SolvBTC. The first batch of yield vaults will be launched on Merlin Chain and Arbitrum. On the DeFi side, Solv has also partnered with Babylon, the market leader in Bitcoin staking, allowing BTC holders to share over $1.3 trillion of economic security with other networks in exchange for a staking yield.

SolvBTC now goes beyond merely capturing centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) yields. As a liquid yield token, we are expanding our scope to help our users discover and capitalize on a multitude of yield-generating opportunities, including the exciting realm of point farming across different chains.

Unlocking New Yield Opportunities

SolvBTC has been launched on three chains: Arbitrum, Merlin Chain, and BNB Chain. These will be referred to as origin chains. Each origin chain is unique due to the underlying backing of each BTC.

Solv will partner with various chains to help provide liquidity for BTCFi to thrive, while allowing SolvBTC users to enjoy exclusive point multipliers as an incentive for providing liquidity. Additionally, SolvBTC users can double dip on rewards by interacting with dApps on those chains, fostering a thriving BTCFi ecosystem.

SolvBTC can now be bridged to these chains from the selected origin chain, detailed here: https://solvprotocol.notion.site/SolvBTC-Navigation-Page-767b5eeb992c416f8c6519e174a9214d
