Managing billions of assets demands the highest level of security.

Security providers —
Lombard's cryptographers work with the
@cubistdev
team to secure the protocol and LBTC from breaches, hacks, and insider threats.
One way is with Cubist's CubeSigner which safeguards keys in secure hardware and restricts how these keys can be used with policies.
This means
Bitcoin is complicated, which is why we’ve been working hard to bring safety to new projects in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
As one example,
@Lombard_Finance
—currently the largest Bitcoin liquid staking protocol by TVL—uses CubeSigner-powered hardware and policy-protected Babylon
LBTC provides access to Babylon while keeping your BTC liquid to deploy in DeFi with the likes of Pendle, Morpho, Gearbox, and ZeroLend.
Once delegated to PoS networks as economic security by Babylon, LBTC will earn a native yield —unlocking even more value from your Bitcoin.
