Spent some time going through @BabylonLabs_io Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV) documentation today because I wanted to understand what actually happens behind the “native Bitcoin-backed borrowing” headline.

Most posts focus on the fact that you don’t need to wrap or bridge your BTC, and that’s definitely important. But what I found more interesting was why Babylon keeps repeating “native Bitcoin.” The goal isn’t to create another version of Bitcoin for DeFi. It’s to let the Bitcoin you already own become collateral while preserving the properties that made many people choose Bitcoin in the first place.

The first TBV use case is already live on the public testnet with Aave v4. You can use native BTC as collateral to borrow supported assets on Ethereum, while the community is encouraged to test the flow and submit feedback before wider adoption. I think reading the documentation made me appreciate that this is less about borrowing itself and more about reducing the compromises people usually associate with bringing Bitcoin into DeFi.

I’m curious what part of TBV stood out to you most after reading about it? @BabylonLabs_io $BABY #baby
