What is Solv Protocol
The plain-English overview: what the project is, where it came from, and what SolvBTC actually represents.

Most Bitcoin sits still. Solv Protocol gives it a job. Through a single token, SolvBTC, and a layer that standardises Bitcoin staking across chains, idle BTC becomes a yield-bearing asset you can move, hold, or put to work — without giving up your exposure to Bitcoin itself.
This is the project’s reference site on the solv-protocol.org domain. It explains what Solv is, how the moving parts fit together, and what to watch out for — in plain language, with the numbers that change clearly flagged.

Before you do anything on-chain
Solv will never message you first or ask for your seed phrase. Never type a seed phrase into any website. Verify contract addresses against official channels, bookmark the pages you trust, and read Security & audits first.
