# Introduction ## What is SolvBTC? SolvBTC is a universal Bitcoin reserve token that links Bitcoin’s value across multiple blockchains. Backed 1:1 by a transparent reserve, it’s designed to bring Bitcoin into DeFi, CeFi, and TradFi markets seamlessly. ## Why SolvBTC **Unify Liquidity Across Chains:** With over $1 trillion in idle BTC, SolvBTC pools liquidity from fragmented wrapped BTC solutions, making it flow freely across ecosystems. **Participate in DeFi Ecosystem Across Chains:** Use your BTC for lending, trading, or yield generation on platforms like Aave or Uniswap, no matter the blockchain. **Secure and Flexible Access:** Enjoy low-risk entry into DeFi with a solution that balances security and interoperability, avoiding the pitfalls of centralized wrappers. ## SolvBTC Backing: Tiered Reserve System SolvBTC’s strength lies in its tiered reserve system, ensuring safety and trust. * **Core Reserve Assets:** These are the backbone—highly secure and liquid. They include native Bitcoin (BTC), Binance’s BTCB, and Base’s cbBTC, managed with strict oversight. * **Isolated Reserve Assets:** These are segregated collateral for specific SolvBTC mints, reducing risk by keeping assets separate. This structure lets SolvBTC adapt to different security needs while maintaining a solid backing.
