Standardization of Bitcoin Staking: The SAL framework may unlock $1.75 trillion worth of dormant BTC assets
Unlocking the Trillion Dollar Sleeping Fund Pool: The Standardization Path of Bitcoin Staking
As the largest "sleeping pool of funds" in the crypto world, Bitcoin's $1.75 trillion market cap has long failed to bring substantial returns to its holders and has not injected vitality into the on-chain financial ecosystem. Although there have been multiple attempts in the DeFi space to release liquidity from Bitcoin assets, most have not truly leveraged the BTCFi market.
In this context, the Bitcoin ecosystem urgently needs to establish a set of universal standardized frameworks to efficiently integrate the liquidity resources of Bitcoin scattered across multiple chains and platforms. This will not only address the fragmentation of liquidity currently faced by BTCFi but also bring broader applicability and scalability to the Bitcoin staking market.
As the largest Bitcoin staking platform, Solv proposed the Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL) concept, aiming to aggregate the decentralized BTC liquidity across the entire chain and provide a unified solution. SAL builds a standardized framework covering the entire process through core modules such as LST generation, staking validation, transaction generation, and profit distribution.
The launch of SAL not only simplifies the participation threshold of the Bitcoin staking ecosystem but also provides a unified solution for co-construction and sharing among multiple parties. Currently, several protocols and service providers, including BNB Chain, Babylon, and ChainLink, have joined the SAL ecosystem, proving its wide applicability.
More importantly, SAL is expected to derive diversified yield solutions based on the entire chain of BTC, including Restaking, validator node rewards, Delta neutral strategies, and various DeFi yields. This will help Bitcoin holders obtain diverse and dynamic yield streams without affecting liquidity, opening up new development space for BTCFi.
By providing a clear standardized framework and co-built shared solutions, SAL brings tangible benefits to all parties involved in the Bitcoin staking ecosystem, significantly enhancing collaborative efficiency. This "infrastructure project" is expected to revitalize Bitcoin, a trillion-level quality crypto asset, paving the way for the large-scale application of BTCFi.
