At Solv Protocol, we’re constantly looking for ways to expand the utility of Bitcoin within the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. That’s why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with SatLayer, a universal security layer designed to maximize the power of Bitcoin. With this collaboration, SolvBTC.BBN holders can now restake their tokens on SatLayer, unlocking new yield opportunities and further enhancing the value of their Bitcoin.

What is SatLayer?

SatLayer is a cutting-edge staking solution built on the Babylon ecosystem, designed to unlock Bitcoin’s full potential as a security asset. As a universal security layer, SatLayer enables Bitcoin stakers to secure decentralized applications (dApps) and protocols, allowing Bitcoin to extend its role beyond a store of value. Through Bitcoin Validated Services (BVSs) and innovative restaking mechanisms, SatLayer empowers BTC holders to earn more while contributing to the security of decentralized applications.

SatLayer’s system is simple: BTC stakers, including those with liquid staking tokens like SolvBTC.BBN, can now restake their assets on SatLayer to enhance network security and earn additional rewards. With SatLayer, Bitcoin holders are no longer limited to traditional staking — they can now actively participate in securing a wider range of decentralized services.

SolvBTC.BBN: Restaking for More Rewards

SolvBTC.BBN is the liquid staking token for Bitcoin within the Babylon ecosystem, allowing Bitcoin holders to earn staking yields while retaining liquidity. With our new partnership, SolvBTC.BBN holders can now restake their assets on SatLayer, earning even more rewards while contributing to the security of decentralized applications on Babylon.

Through SatLayer’s restaking mechanism, SolvBTC.BBN holders can participate in Bitcoin staking while gaining additional yield. This provides an enhanced experience for users, allowing them to maximize the potential of their Bitcoin holdings.

How to Restake SolvBTC.BBN on SatLayer

Getting started with restaking on SatLayer is simple:

  1. Deposit Bitcoin & Wrapped BTC to Mint SolvBTC: Start by depositing wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC, FBTC, BTCB, …) on the Solv Protocol platform to mint SolvBTC.
  2. Convert SolvBTC to SolvBTC.BBN: After minting SolvBTC, convert it into SolvBTC.BBN, the liquid staking token for Bitcoin on Babylon.
  3. Restake on SatLayer: Restake your SolvBTC.BBN on SatLayer and start earning additional rewards.
  4. Earn Additional Rewards: Along with your standard staking yields, you’ll earn SatLayer Points, further increasing your returns.

By integrating SolvBTC.BBN with SatLayer, we are providing Bitcoin holders a new way to earn more from their assets. SatLayer maximizes the flexibility and utility of staked Bitcoin, offering greater control and higher yield opportunities.

Who Benefits from This Integration?

This integration benefits a wide range of participants in the BTCFi space:

  • SolvBTC.BBN Holders: Bitcoin holders who stake through Solv Protocol can now earn additional yield by restaking their assets on SatLayer.
  • Liquid Staking Platforms: The partnership enhances the functionality of liquid staking platforms like Solv Protocol, providing increased flexibility and yield generation for users.
  • Developers and Protocols: Decentralized applications that need security can now rely on the programmable Bitcoin collateral offered through SatLayer, ensuring better protection with fewer trust assumptions.
  • The Babylon Ecosystem: The Babylon network, where SatLayer is built, gains increased security and functionality, expanding its reach and capabilities.

The Future of Bitcoin Staking with Solv Protocol and SatLayer

Our partnership with SatLayer represents a significant step forward in the development of Bitcoin Finance (BTCFi). By integrating SolvBTC.BBN with SatLayer, we are providing users with more ways to earn yield on their Bitcoin, while also contributing to the security and decentralization of the broader blockchain ecosystem.

As we continue to build out the BTCFi space, we are excited to bring more opportunities like this to our users. Stay tuned for more updates and developments as we work to transform the role of Bitcoin in decentralized finance.

Start restaking today and maximize your Bitcoin’s potential!
