Summary

SolvBTC is the flagship wrapped Bitcoin product of Solv Protocol, designed to represent Bitcoin in DeFi systems across multiple chains. In March 2026, the BRO vault component of the protocol suffered a $2.7 million exploit due to a double-mint logic flaw in the BitcoinReserveOffering smart contract. Separately, in January 2025, the protocol faced credible public allegations of TVL manipulation prior to its SOLV token launch.
