EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING "BITCOIN IS DIGITAL GOLD."
COOL. BUT GOLD SITTING IN A VAULT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU EITHER.
TURNS OUT THERE'S A WAY TO CHANGE THAT — WITHOUT SELLING, WRAPPING, OR TRUSTING A THIRD PARTY
Here's the setup
You hold BTC. You believe in it long-term. But the second you want liquidity, you're stuck with two bad options: sell it, or wrap it and hand custody to someone else.
Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV) removes that trade-off
Babylon built TBV so native Bitcoin can be used as collateral directly across chains and apps. No wrapped tokens. No bridges. No custodians holding your coins.
What's actually live right now
→ Native BTC-backed borrowing through Aave v4, on public testnet
→ Deposit real Bitcoin, borrow USDC/USDT on Ethereum
→ Your keys stay yours the entire time — fully self-custodial
→ DeFi-level borrow rates, not some diluted synthetic version
The bigger picture
Babylon already runs the largest Bitcoin staking protocol out there, peaking at $7.2B TVL. TBV is the next layer: taking BTC from "asset you just hold" to "asset you can actually use," without ever giving up control of it.
**Try it before it's live for everyone**
Testnet is open now. Deposit, borrow, break things, send feedback. This is the stage where your input actually shapes the final product.
Digital gold that just sits there was never the endgame. This is.
