1️⃣ @SolvProtocol came up with SolvBTC-BNB

➕Basically, farm new tokens while staying exposed to BTC.
➖But no clarity yet on how BTC is actually tokenized or what the centralization risks are.

Bitcoin L2 is evolving, but some things still don’t add up:
– How secure are these BTC yield mechanisms?
– Will AI Layer ever launch TGE, or is it just vibes?
– Which L2s actually stand a chance against Ethereum?

3️⃣ @AILayerXYZ roadmap for 2025

Q1: AI token analytics, Solana bridge
Q2: BTCFi expansion, hackathons
Q3: AI-powered mining, reward system
Q4: Aiming for $400M TVL, 100+ AI models live
Also, people keep asking—where’s the TGE?

Exciting to see SolvProtocol and BabylonLabs pushing the boundaries in Layer 2 DeFi. The SolvBTC-BNB tokenization concept seems intriguing, though the centralization aspect needs closer scrutiny. BabylonLabs' airdrop could be a great way for early adopters to engage with their platform. Both developments highlight the innovative nature of the Layer 2 space.
