Here’s what to expect in the coming weeks: - Loan cancelation: Users will be able to cancel and reclaim their collateral before authorizing the conditions in Step 2 - Affiliate feature: Major distribution partners (e.g. wallets) can submit proposals to whitelist their addresses for revenue sharing, enabling them to offer native BTC lending to their existing user base - yToken liquidity mining - Origination fee implementation - Side Wallet v1.1.1 release - UI light mode enhanced mobile optimization for a better UX across devices - TSS stability improvements - Bug fixes and more… Stand by Side!

Side Lending is coming in the next upgrade of Side Wallet!

This is our flagship product, think “Aave, but for Bitcoin”: a native Bitcoin lending protocol, built directly on Bitcoin’s UTXO model. like Babylon, it runs as a cross-chain system between Bitcoin L1 and an appchain. BTC is locked in a non-custodial vault where the borrower retains direct control. Liquidation is enforced through pre-signed txs, triggered by oracle via threshold adaptor signatures. unlike other DLC-based lending solutions, Side Lending is a pool-based protocol, not a peer-to-peer product. It can serve as the native BTC borrowing backend for any Bitcoin app with strong DeFi composability we’ve implemented everything required to make this work: Bitcoin scripts, enshrined decentralized oracles and Bitcoin light client, lending modules, trustless relayer and much more. as mentioned in the post, we’ll launch this on a new testnet first, then roll it out with the upcoming Mainnet Beta. months of hard work, can’t wait to bring it live

Mainnet Beta is bringing non-custodial native BTC lending to the public. soon you’ll see “Aave for Bitcoin” live on @SideProtocol
