# Solv Protocol

> This is Bitcoin, Unbound

Solv Protocol provides Bitcoin liquid staking infrastructure enabling BTC holders to earn yield through staking while maintaining liquidity across DeFi protocols.

Solv Protocol operates a Bitcoin-focused financial infrastructure platform through its Staking Abstraction Layer, enabling Bitcoin holders to access liquid staking, yield aggregation, and structured products. The platform bridges Bitcoin to DeFi through SolvBTC, a reserve token backed 1:1 by Bitcoin, which can be converted into liquid staking tokens. Solv aims to provide Bitcoin holders with yield opportunities while maintaining exposure to Bitcoin's price through cross-chain interoperability and institutional-grade security audits.

## Assets

- [Solv (SOLV)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/solv_protocol): SOLV is the governance token of Solv Protocol. It is used to vote on protocol decisions, to stake for earning protocol emissions, and provides holders with fee discounts on SolvBTC redemptions. Staking SOLV grants holders a share of protocol fees generated from Bitcoin staking activities, aligning token holder incentives with the growth of Bitcoin liquidity flowing through the platform. (Governance)
- [SolvBTC (SOLVBTC)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/solv_protocol): SOLVBTC is a liquid staking token representing staked Bitcoin in the Solv Protocol ecosystem. It is used as a reserve token to access DeFi applications across multiple blockchains while maintaining liquidity and earning yields from staking strategies. Holders can convert it into yield-bearing liquid staking tokens that generate returns through Bitcoin restaking protocols like Babylon, where Bitcoin's economic security is shared with other networks in exchange for staking rewards. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
- [xSolvBTC (xSolvBTC)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/solv_protocol): xSolvBTC is a liquid staking token representing staked Bitcoin on Solv Protocol. It is used to earn yield through DeFi strategies including lending, liquidity provision, and automated vault deployment across multiple blockchains. The token automatically compounds returns by reinvesting yields into the vault's net asset value, allowing holders to maintain Bitcoin exposure while generating passive income without manual claiming or restaking. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
- [SolvBTC.ENA (SolvBTC.ENA)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/solv_protocol): SolvBTC.ENA is a liquid staking token representing staked Bitcoin deposited into the Solv Ethena Vault.

The token integrates with Ethena's delta-neutral trading strategies, balancing long and short positions on Bitcoin derivatives to offer risk-managed returns tied to stablecoin hedging mechanisms.
