Dear Solv Community,

We appreciate your patience and support as we prepare to open redemptions for SolvBTC across Arbitrum, Merlin Chain, and BNB Chain. We understand that many of you have eagerly awaited this opportunity, and we are committed to ensuring a smooth and rewarding experience for all SolvBTC holders.

SolvBTC has seen incredible adoption, with over 14,000 users participating in the minting process, contributing to a total of more than 18,000 BTC staked with Solv. Your engagement has been vital in shaping SolvBTC’s journey, and we are excited to take this next step together.

When redemptions open, you will have the option to convert your SolvBTC back into wrapped BTC or continue leveraging SolvBTC’s robust ecosystem across multiple chains to ‘Put Your Bitcoin to Work’.

Our goal remains steadfast: to empower Bitcoin holders with the best opportunities and experiences in decentralized finance.

Redemption Schedule

The redemption process will be rolled out across different chains according to the following schedule:

  • Arbitrum: Unlocks on June 30, 2024
  • Merlin Chain: Unlocks on July 10, 2024
  • BNB Chain: Unlocks on July 25, 2024

Redemption Process

To initiate a redemption, follow these simple steps:

  1. Connect your wallet and Navigate to the SolvBTC section.
  2. Select the chain from which you want to redeem.
  3. Follow the instructions to complete the redemption request.
  4. Your redemption will be processed within 48 hours. Check progress in ‘My Portfolio’ and claim assets when complete.

We are committed to further streamlining the process and aim to reduce this timeframe to 24 hours in the near future. Timelines may vary across chains due to their deployment schedules.
