Self custody is the one thing I never compromise on, so most Bitcoin lending products lose my interest the moment they ask me to wrap or bridge BTC. Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV) from @BabylonLabs_io is different, and that is why I decided to write about it.
What caught my attention is that the public testnet for native Bitcoin backed borrowing through Aave v4 already has several major names testing alongside regular users. That is not something you see with every early stage testnet. It signals the model is being taken seriously beyond just retail.
I tested it the same way anyone else can. Grabbed test tokens from the faucet, deposited native BTC, borrowed through Aave v4, and confirmed everything on the explorer. My keys never left my control at any point. If you want to form your own opinion instead of taking mine, funds share feedback through the official form before mainnet.
