Over the past year or so, I’ve seen too many PPT projects disappear after TGE, and the stories I hear are often far more than what actually materializes.

However, in some DeFi practitioners’ sharing, I discovered an interesting direction: how to truly integrate Bitcoin into the DeFi ecosystem while also preserving Bitcoin’s inherent security? This has always been a painful issue for those who uphold BTC’s value.

One project has directly achieved this—Native Bitcoin Vaults. The core selling points are straightforward:

• Bitcoin is natively locked on the Bitcoin mainnet, with no cross-chain bridges, no custodians, and no IOU tokens.

What does this mean? It means true self-custody, true security, and true decentralization. It’s not about going in circles and ending up with trust issues, but avoiding risks from the architecture level.

Among a bunch of projects where storytelling outweighs execution, this down-to-earth solution actually stands out a bit.
