The public testnet for Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV) is live, and this is a meaningful step for native Bitcoin in DeFi.
For years, using Bitcoin as collateral usually meant wrapping it, bridging it, or handing custody to an intermediary. TBV changes that. It lets you lock native BTC directly as collateral and borrow assets like USDC or USDT through Aave v4 — all while keeping full self-custody of your Bitcoin.
Key advantages of this approach: • Capital efficient with real DeFi borrow rates
• Fully self-custodial — your keys, your Bitcoin
• Uses native BTC, no wrapping or bridging required
• Trustless design with no centralized intermediaries
You can try the full flow right now on the public testnet. Claim test tokens from the faucet, deposit native BTC as collateral, and experience how the borrowing works. Feedback from early testers is actively being collected to improve the product.
Testnet app: https://btc-vaults.testnet.babylonlabs.io/
Faucet: https://tbv-faucet.testnet.babylonlabs.io/
This is exactly the kind of infrastructure Bitcoin needs if it is going to power real on-chain finance without compromising its core properties.
