Native Yield from Bitcoin, No Wrapping Required
For years, the only way to use Bitcoin in DeFi was through wrapped tokens like WBTC or renBTC. While these opened doors, they came with real risks—centralized custody, synthetic representations, and opaque rehypothecation. This model introduced trust assumptions that fundamentally clashed with Bitcoin’s purpose: decentralization and self-sovereignty.
LBTC introduces a safer, more native alternative.
Through Babylon’s Bitcoin staking layer, users can now stake their BTC directly and mint LBTC on a 1:1 basis. This isn’t a wrapped token—it’s a decentralized, non-custodial system that uses Babylon’s Proof-of-Stake architecture to allow Bitcoin to earn yield without leaving its native security environment.
When BTC is staked via Babylon, it remains verifiably locked and publicly auditable. LBTC is then minted as a fully liquid representation, enabling users to participate in DeFi—lending, liquidity provision, and yield strategies—without ever relinquishing ownership of the original BTC. There are no middlemen, no synthetic derivatives, and no games played behind closed doors.
This unlocks a major evolution in capital efficiency. Bitcoin, long considered "digital gold," now becomes productive capital. It doesn’t have to sit idle to remain secure. With LBTC, it works while maintaining its original principles—transparency, decentralization, and resilience.
And this shift goes deeper than just minting a token. It’s a new paradigm where Bitcoin is finally interoperable without compromising its ethos. As Babylon expands its staking network and more protocols integrate LBTC, Bitcoin becomes an active participant in decentralized finance—unlocking value without leaving trustlessness behind.
At the same time, visibility and user coordination are becoming as important as capital itself. That’s where @wallchain_xyz plays a pivotal role—enabling programmable attention across crypto ecosystems. Wallchain turns user engagement into an asset by rewarding authentic on-chain participation through its AttentionFi framework.
