Babylon Labs proposed an Aave V4 integration enabling borrowing against native Bitcoin collateral directly on the Bitcoin network, avoiding wrapped BTC, bridges, and custodians. The system uses Taproot-based vault scripts and introduces a non-transferable asset called vaultBTC to represent locked BTC collateral within Aave.
