Solv Protocol, a leading Bitcoin staking platform, has announced Bitcoin staking for cbBTC holders on Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 offering secure, low-cost, and builder-friendly onchain development.
cbBTC Launch by Base
With the launch of cbBTC, a wrapped Bitcoin asset by Base, Solv Protocol allows cbBTC tokens to be minted into SolvBTC, which can further be converted into SolvBTC.BBN — a liquid staking token that broadens the Bitcoin DeFi landscape on Base.
Solv Protocol’s Role in DeFi Expansion
Base, committed to building a more accessible and decentralized onchain economy, welcomes this integration as it allows Bitcoin holders to leverage their assets more effectively in DeFi. Through Solv Protocol’s integration, Bitcoin holders with cbBTC can mint SolvBTC and then convert it to SolvBTC.BBN, thereby unlocking seamless staking opportunities within the decentralized finance ecosystem.
Comment from Solv Protocol Co-Founder
Ryan Chow, Co-Founder of Solv Protocol, stated: "Integrating cbBTC as a reserve asset is a significant step towards unifying Bitcoin liquidity and making the Bitcoin DeFi experience more accessible to users. This launch is perfectly aligned with Solv's mission to expand the utility of Bitcoin within decentralized finance, providing more opportunities for yield and liquidity to Bitcoin holders."
The introduction of Bitcoin staking through cbBTC and Solv Protocol signifies an important step in the onchain economy. Base's infrastructure supports builders and creators worldwide by offering scalable solutions for diverse use cases. In turn, Solv Protocol enhances the Bitcoin DeFi landscape by providing transparent and secure staking options, making DeFi more accessible to a broader range of users.
