Supported assets and SolvBTC variants
The SolvBTC family has a simple shape: one base token, and a set of yield-bearing tokens built on top of it, each tied to a specific strategy. Understanding the difference is the key to choosing what fits you.
SolvBTC — the base token
SolvBTC is the foundation: a Bitcoin token meant to be backed one-to-one by Bitcoin in reserve and to exist consistently across multiple networks. On its own it doesn’t chase yield — it’s the liquid, cross-chain representation of your Bitcoin and the starting point for everything else. If you want exposure without strategy risk, this is the simplest holding.
Liquid staking tokens (LSTs)
When SolvBTC is committed to a yield strategy, you receive a liquid staking token that represents that position while staying tradable. Each LST carries the yield and the risk of its underlying strategy. The main variants:
| Token | Where the yield comes from | In short |
|---|---|---|
SolvBTC.BBN | Bitcoin staking via Babylon | Bitcoin staked to help secure proof-of-stake networks through the Babylon protocol. |
SolvBTC.CORE | Securing the Core (CoreDAO) network | Bitcoin put to work helping secure Core, earning rewards while keeping liquidity. |
SolvBTC.ENA | Basis-trade strategy in the Ethena ecosystem | A market-style strategy that aims to earn yield while keeping Bitcoin exposure. |
SolvBTC.JUP | Strategy in the Jupiter ecosystem | Yield sourced from activity in the Jupiter ecosystem. |
The exact set of LSTs, their availability, and the networks they run on change as the protocol adds and retires strategies. Treat this table as a map of the types of strategy, and confirm the current lineup through official channels before acting.
How to choose between them
- Want simplicity and the least moving parts? Hold base SolvBTC.
- Want yield and comfortable with staking mechanics? A staking-based LST like
SolvBTC.BBNorSolvBTC.COREties your return to network rewards. - Comfortable with trading-strategy risk? A strategy-based LST such as
SolvBTC.ENAbehaves differently and depends on that strategy continuing to work.
Whatever you pick, the rule from the risks page holds: higher yield generally means more risk. Read what a token actually does before you hold it.
What backs the underlying value
Across the family, the anchor is Bitcoin held in reserve, with backing published through proof of reserve. Yield tokens add a strategy layer on top of that anchor, which is why they can earn — and why they carry risks the base token doesn’t. See how it works for the backing model and security & audits for verification.
Beyond crypto-native yield
The protocol has also explored bringing real-world-asset yield into the Bitcoin ecosystem through integrations with established financial products. That direction widens where yield can come from; the ecosystem page covers it alongside the networks and partners involved.
