The **Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL)** is Solv Protocol’s core infrastructure. It abstracts the complexities of staking Bitcoin across multiple ecosystems and presents a unified interface for Bitcoin holders. With SAL, users can access a range of yield-generating strategies on different blockchains, all while holding a liquid representation of their BTC—SolvBTC.

By integrating with various DeFi platforms and ecosystems, SAL simplifies the process for Bitcoin holders to diversify their yield strategies while keeping exposure to BTC.
