What to Know

1. Solv is standardizing on Chainlink CCIP as the official cross-chain infrastructure for its entire $700M+ tokenized Bitcoin portfolio.

2. Chainlink’s unparalleled security and institutional-grade standards are driving this migration

As part of Solv’s ongoing security reviews and in light of recent cross-chain hacks observed in the industry, Solv is fully migrating to the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as our infrastructure solution for secure cross-chain transactions, including $700M+ in Bitcoin assets across SolvBTC and xSolvBTC. In accordance with this strategic migration, we are reducing our risk exposure on our existing bridging stack by deprecating SolvBTC and xSolvBTC LayerZero bridging support for Corn, Berachain, Rootstock and TAC to instead standardize on Chainlink CCIP, the most battle-hardened and time-tested interoperability infrastructure across all blockchains.

Cross-chain bridges remain one of the most sensitive and high-risk areas in DeFi, with insecure bridges bringing systemic risk to the entire industry. Recurring industry-wide security incidents have made this explicitly clear and reinforced the standard that all projects require the interoperability solution with the most robust security and decentralization.

Solv has conducted a full updated security review on all cross-chain interoperability solutions. We selected Chainlink CCIP as it is the industry’s most secure and reliable cross-chain infrastructure, widely regarded as the gold standard for decentralized interoperability and officially recognized by the White House as critical infrastructure for the digital asset ecosystem:

“We are proud to work with the Solv team and support their migration to Chainlink CCIP as the standardized way that their wrapped Bitcoin assets are securely transferred cross-chain. Solv’s migration to CCIP reflects a broader shift across the DeFi industry of leading protocols adopting Chainlink to deliver the highest level of security required to bring the next billion users onchain.” — Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer, Chainlink Labs.

“Security is the foundation of everything we build at Solv, and our migration to Chainlink CCIP reinforces that commitment at the highest level. By fully securing SolvBTC and xSolvBTC cross-chain transfers with CCIP, we are providing users the highest assurance that proven, defense-in-depth infrastructure secures all cross-chain transfers. This strategic migration positions Solv to scale with the reliability and institutional-grade security assurance the market demands.”— Will Wang, Chief Technology Officer, Solv.
