Babylon Labs has proposed integrating native Bitcoin as collateral on Aave V4 via its Trustless Bitcoin Vaults protocol, according to on-chain news. The solution eliminates wrapping, bridges, or custodians. Users lock Bitcoin in Taproot UTXOs, with redemption governed by on-chain rules such as loan repayment. The proposal includes two Aave V4 Spokes and introduces vaultBTC, a restricted ERC-20 token. This Bitcoin development highlights a new approach to Bitcoin lending without intermediaries.

PANews, May 26: Babylon Labs has initiated a temperature check proposal in the Aave community, proposing the integration of native Bitcoin as collateral on Aave V4 via the Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults protocol. The solution eliminates the need for wrapped assets, cross-chain bridges, or custodians: users lock Bitcoin in Taproot UTXOs, and redemptions are governed by on-chain rules—such as loan repayment—and settled directly to Bitcoin UTXOs. The proposal deploys two Aave V4 Spokes: the Babylon Core Lending Spoke (for lending) and the BTC Vault Swap Spoke (for post-closure settlement). Collateral exists in the form of vaultBTC, an ERC-20 token with transfer restrictions, allowing transfers only between a fixed whitelist of addresses.
