Introducing Lombard
We’re connecting Bitcoin to DeFi with LBTC; your Bitcoin, infinitely better.
LBTC is liquid, yield-bearing, natively cross-chain and primed for use across DeFi.
Join as we unlock possibilities with 21 million $BTC.
Connecting Bitcoin to DeFi in 3-phases
From gated Private Beta to an unrestricted Public Launch, Lombard’s phased rollout is designed to ensure LBTC connects to DeFi with the utmost security, and scalability.
🧵
The current state of Bitcoin is idle and economically inactive.
🟧 No native yield
🟧 No secure methods of moving $BTC cross-chain
🟧 Fragmented Bitcoin liquidity in DeFi
🟧 Few integrations with DeFi Protocols
Lombard changes all of the above.
