Trustless Bitcoin Vaults

What TBV is.

Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV) allow native Bitcoin to be used as collateral without bridging, wrapping or intermediaries. Without relying on any third party, TBV-integrated applications can use native Bitcoin collateral for lending, stablecoins, credit cards, derivatives, insurance, and other financial products.

The problem, and what changes.

Bitcoin is the largest collateral asset in the world, yet using it has meant holding it or handing your ownership to intermediaries, taking on their risk and cost. TBV connects native Bitcoin to any chains, any applications. Bitcoin becomes more than an asset people hold. It becomes foundational collateral that can be used productively.

Native Bitcoin-backed borrowing.

The first use case is borrowing, where collateral is most battle-tested, starting with Aave v4 on Ethereum. This gives the market a working risk model for Native Bitcoin collateral: valuation, borrowing capacity, liquidation, oracle pricing, and liquidity under stress.

How Native Bitcoin-backed Borrowing Works

1. Lock

Lock native Bitcoin into a BTCVault on the Bitcoin Network.

2. Activate

Aave v4 recognises that Bitcoin as collateral, enabling borrowing of supported assets.

3. Borrow

Borrow supported assets such as USDC/USDT on Aave v4.

4. Repay

Repay the borrowed assets plus interest to withdraw or reduce the position.

5. Unlock

A challenge period verifies the withdrawal. Native Bitcoin is returned to the nominated wallet address.
