An estimated 6 million Bitcoin, representing over 30% of the total Bitcoin supply, is quantum-exposed at rest due to reliance on elliptic-curve signatures.

Because individual Bitcoin transaction outputs cannot be divided, liquidations target one BTCVault at a time, allowing liquidators to make repeated calls until position health is restored.

To enable Aave V4 to track collateral on Ethereum, the integration creates a transfer-restricted ERC-20 token named vaultBTC as an internal accounting record representing locked Bitcoin on a one-to-one basis.

To bypass multi-day Bitcoin redemption delays, permissionless liquidators using the BTC Vault Swap Spoke receive Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) immediately while authorized participants complete native Bitcoin settlement.

Redeeming a native Bitcoin vault during collateral settlement can take several days due to a required challenge period on the Bitcoin network.

The BTC Vault Swap Spoke is introduced as a second component in Aave V4 specifically to manage the settlement process for liquidated Bitcoin collateral.

Starknet Shadow Accounts allow users to manage decentralized finance positions without publicly linking their application activity to primary cryptocurrency wallets.

Authorized arbitrageurs acquire escrowed vaults in the liquidation process by repaying the outstanding WBTC debt plus accrued interest before redeeming underlying BTC on the Bitcoin network.

A 2-of-3 multisig consisting of Llama Risk, Babylon Labs, and Aave Labs holds a configuration role for the BTC Vault Swap Spoke on Aave V4.
