Solv Protocol is partnering with Soneium to perform BTC staking on the Ethereum L2. Following the partnership, SolVBTC holders can develop stakes, earn rewards and use advanced yield strategies. Soneium’s $45 million TVL and 47m transactions drive Defi’s growth through SolV.
The decentralized fiscal world continues to evolve, and the new partnership between the Solv protocol and Soneium is pushing the boundaries of what Bitcoin can achieve. The collaboration, announced on March 6, 2025, brings Bitcoin staking to Soneium, the Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain supported by the Sony Group in Japan.
By integrating these two platforms, users can now explore fresh opportunities and earn rewards, leveraging cross-chain liquidity to blend Bitcoin stability with Ethereum’s vast default ecosystem.
Solv Protocol, a platform dedicated to Bitcoin staking, is at the heart of this development. This allows users to deposit Bitcoin and receive SolVBTC.
Through this partnership, SolVBTC holders will bet their assets on Soneum, opening the door to passive income while maintaining Bitcoin’s core value proposal. The move reflects the growth trends of investors who are seeking ways to make Bitcoin harder than simply holding or trading it.
Enhance the downsides of Bitcoin
An outstanding feature of this collaboration is the introduction of SolVBTC liquid staking tokens, or SolVBTC.LST. These tokens enable advanced yield strategies and allow Bitcoin users to increase their investment flexibility and scalability.
With this setup, staking is more than just a way to earn rewards. It transforms into a tool to unlock sophisticated financial opportunities across multiple blockchains. The partnership leverages Solv’s innovative staking abstraction layer. This is a system designed to simplify the staking process across a variety of networks.
This layer of abstraction is a game changer for Bitcoin holders. In many cases, it lowers the technical barriers that prevent users from participating in DEFI, making it easier to get into distributed applications.
By bridging Bitcoin (BTC) to Soneium, the Solv protocol can effectively extend the utility of cryptocurrencies and play a more active role in the rapidly growing world of decentralized finance.
In particular, the timing of this partnership will not improve. With Bitcoin staking becoming popular, more investors are looking for ways to generate passive income from their holdings. Solv Protocol and Soneium meet this demand head on, offering both accessible and forward-thinking solutions.
Details on future plans remain under the wrap, but both teams suggest additional innovations ahead, indicating that this is just the beginning of a deeper integration of Bitcoin into defi.
Sonium’s defi new star
Released in August 2024 by Sony Block Solutions Labs and web3 company Startale, Soneium quickly got its name. Built as a high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 solution, it is designed to enhance creative and efficient distributed applications.
As of March 6, 2025, the network boasts a locked total of $63.16 million across 19 Dapps. That rapid growth is evident in the 47 million transactions processed and 4 million active addresses attracted in just a few months.
The platform hosts some of the most dynamic Defi projects in the space, including distributed exchanges such as Kyo Finance, Velodrome, and Sonex.
Soneium’s infrastructure is tailored to handle the latest Defi requests, offering speed and scalability that complements Solv Protocol’s ambitions. Together, we are creating an environment where Bitcoin users can seamlessly integrate with cutting-edge financial tools.
