Binance-backed Bitcoin staking platform Solv Protocol is now offering the SolvBTC.BERA vault as the protocol looks to unlock the yield-generation market on Berachain.
Solv Protocol announced the SolvBTC.BERA on Jan. 13, revealing that the deposit vault integrates Bitcoin (BTC) holders into Berachain’s decentralized finance ecosystem. Through the integration, the protocol aims to provide new yield-generation opportunities for Bitcoin holders on Berachain, an Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchain that utilizes a proof-of-liquidity consensus mechanism.
The integration will allow users to earn yield on their assets by depositing Bitcoin or Bitcoin-equivalent assets such as SolvBTC, SolvBTC.BBN, wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), or Coinbase wrapped Bitcoin (cBTC) into the SolvBTC.BERA vault. The launch effectively opens up multi-layered yield-generation strategies within the Berachain ecosystem.
In a bid to attract early users, Solv Protocol is launching the Boyco pre-deposit campaign, an incentive program that will reward early participants upon launch.
As users’ assets are deposited into the SolvBTC.BERA vault, they will be deployed across seven different yield layers. These layers include Solv Season 2, Babylon, Berachain rewards, Kodiak, Dolomite and Goldilocks. Notably, Kodiak is a liquidity hub on Berachain, while Dolomite is a decentralized money market fund and DEX platform.
It’s also worth noting that funds deposited in SolvBTC.BERA will be subject to a 90-day lockup period commencing from the Berachain mainnet launch.

Berachain’s ecosystem leverages a tri-token model, featuring BERA as the native gas token and HONEY as the native stablecoin. The stablecoin’s issuance fees are allocated to BGT holders, where BGT is Berachain’s primary reward and governance token that is both non-liquid and non-transferable. Meanwhile, BERA and HONEY tokens are both tradable.
