- **Interlay** is a key Bitcoin bridge and DeFi hub in the Polkadot ecosystem.
- **iBTC** is in high demand but there is no spare capacity to mint more.
- Interlay plans to add new lending markets and vault collaterals to increase iBTC capacity.
- The Polkadot Treasury is being asked to support incentivizing 45 iBTC with a grant of 202,030 DOT.
- This would help meet the growing demand for iBTC from DEXs and money markets.
- The proposal aims to boost vault rewards to attract more collateral and increase iBTC capacity.
- If approved, the DOT grant would be staked and converted to INTR to incentivize vault operators.

Interlay seeks Polkadot Treasury support to incentivize 45 iBTC with a grant of 202,030 DOT. The grant will be used to increase the collateral capacity to mint more iBTC as part of the broader Polkadot DeFi liquidity campaign. The cost to incentivize vault capacity for 45 more iBTC is $1.56M. The granted DOT would be immediately staked as vDOT so that it appreciates with staking rewards throughout the year, further increasing the total value paid out to vault operators.
