Bitcoin-focused developer Babylon Labs has submitted a proposal to let customers borrow stablecoins on Aave in opposition to native Bitcoin (BTC).
Under the hood, customers would lock their BTC in vaults on the Bitcoin community and borrow in opposition to it on Aave. A non-transferable token on Ethereum would signify the collateral, whereas the BTC itself would stay on its native blockchain with out being bridged or wrapped.
The Wednesday proposal follows an preliminary submission on May 25 and a preliminary group vote that handed on June 10, in accordance to Babylon Labs.
Under the proposal, Aave DAO would obtain the primary $500,000 in qualifying annual income generated by the mixing.
Aave already helps loans in opposition to tokenized Bitcoin by means of tokens resembling Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC). Wrapped tokens depend on custodians to carry the underlying Bitcoin, introducing counterparty dangers.
As of Thursday, the proposal stays on the Aave Request for Comment (ARFC) stage, the place it faces group suggestions and danger evaluation.
If group consensus is reached, it could actually proceed to a three-day offchain Snapshot vote, which requires no less than 320,000 AAVE-equivalent votes in favor earlier than advancing to a proper onchain vote, in accordance with Aave’s governance guidelines.
The onchain vote should meet quorum and approval necessities.
