Lombard: Unlocking Bitcoin DeFi Through Liquid, Yield-Bearing LBTC - Jacob Phillips
Manage episode 489080533 series 41400
Bitcoin remains an untapped source of net-new liquidity that could be injected into DeFi. This would completely reshape Bitcoin’s utilization from a mere store of value to a liquid asset that can be ported cross-chain and traded like a liquid staking derivative. Lombard’s LBTC builds upon Babylon’s Bitcoin staking primitive and aims to unlock new yield sources for the industry’s leading asset by increasing its DeFi utilization.
Topics covered in this episode:
- Jacob’s background
- Lessons gathered from Polychain
- Focusing on Bitcoin
- Why Bitcoin staking is crucial for BTC DeFi
- Building on top of Babylon
- LBTC minting
- Sources of BTC yield
- PoS inflation and native token incentives
- BTC as a trading pair in DeFi
- Lombard chain
- Future challenges to overcome
- Bitcoin L2s
- Lombard milestones
