[ARFC] Onboard Native BTC as Collateral to Aave V4 via Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults

The next step here is risk analysis, so one line in the specification is worth pinning down first: a pause on the TBV contracts stops the exit paths, and those contracts are governed by Babylon governance representatives rather than by Aave DAO. The collateral sits in a vault the depositor controls on Bitcoin, while the path by which it leaves can be closed by a party outside this DAO.

The configuration role on the BTC Vault Swap Spoke is named down to the signers, a 2 of 3 of Llama Risk, Babylon Labs and Aave Labs. The TBV governance role is not: it is a public timelock with advance on-chain notice, with no signer set and no delay stated. Babylon’s existing protocol contracts are controlled by a 6 of 9 multisig.

So two things I would want in the thread before caps and liquidation parameters are proposed: the signer set and threshold behind the TBV governance role, and the timelock delay that applies to a pause. Both are readable from the deployed contracts once those addresses are posted.
