Babylon built the Bitcoin Staking Protocol, which grew into the largest Bitcoin based project in crypto by total value locked. Now @BabylonLabs_io is extending that native BTC into DeFi through Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV), a way to use Bitcoin as collateral without wrapping, bridging, or trusting a middleman.
TBV currently powers native Bitcoin backed borrowing on Aave v4, live on public testnet. The flow is simple. Claim test tokens from the faucet, deposit native BTC in the testnet app, borrow assets like USDC on Ethereum, then check the transaction on the explorer.
What makes this worth trying is how little trust it asks for. Your Bitcoin stays native the whole time, and you never give up custody to complete the borrow. Test it yourself and send feedback through the official form before mainnet.
