#baby $BABY Spent the last few days of this campaign just going back through how TBV actually settles a position instead of repeating the same "deposit BTC, borrow, no wrapping" line one more time.
Something kept bugging me though. Your Bitcoin sits on the Bitcoin chain. Your loan sits on Ethereum. Those are two completely separate ledgers, and somehow they have to agree with each other every single time when you deposit, when you borrow more, when you repay, when something gets liquidated. Nobody really talks about that part.
With wrapped tokens this problem basically disappears from view. The wrapped token becomes the thing everyone trusts, and you just believe someone actually locked real BTC somewhere to back it. TBV can't hide behind that. There's no wrapped middleman smoothing things over the real BTC state and the Ethereum position have to stay lined up on their own.
Honestly that's the part I think matters more than the borrowing feature itself. Getting the Aave v4 flow to work is one thing.
Getting that sync to hold up when things get messy fast price swings, liquidations firing, network congestion without quietly leaning on some trusted party in the background, that's the actual test.
Ending this campaign more convinced the real question was never "can Bitcoin be borrowed against." It's whether that sync stays honest exactly when it's under pressure.

Does the cross-chain sync concern you?
