Babylon's proposal to add native Bitcoin collateral to Aave V4 enters governance stage, pending further votes and security checks.
Babylon has advanced its plan to allow native Bitcoin to be used as collateral on Aave V4. The proposal now moves into a new governance round where community members can vote on the changes.
Approval will still require additional security reviews, and the protocol must meet Aave’s risk management criteria before the feature can be activated.
If approved, the addition would enable users to borrow against Bitcoin directly within the Aave ecosystem, potentially expanding liquidity options for both protocols.
