🧵 How Minting LBTC Works — Turning Bitcoin into Liquid Capital

Bitcoin stores unmatched value—but until now, it's been a passive asset. Deploying BTC into DeFi meant wrapping it through centralized bridges, sacrificing security and sovereignty. @Lombard_Finance rewrites this dynamic by tapping into Babylon’s decentralized staking to unlock native Bitcoin liquidity.

Here’s the process:

Native BTC is staked directly into Babylon, a secure, non-custodial Bitcoin staking layer. This system introduces staking rewards and PoS logic to Bitcoin, without altering its base layer or relying on third parties.

Once staked, users receive LBTC—a liquid, 1:1 representation of their staked BTC. This token flows freely across DeFi, unlocking yield opportunities and ecosystem access, all while the original Bitcoin remains safely staked.

LBTC isn't just liquid—it’s productive. As it circulates, it automatically accrues BABY rewards, the Babylon-native staking incentive. And thanks to @Lombard_Finance seamless integrations, LBTC can be used in liquidity pools, lending markets, and governance systems with no bridge risk or loss of custody.

It’s a clean progression:

→ Stake BTC
→ Mint LBTC
→ Earn Rewards
→ Access DeFi

Bitcoin is no longer idle. Through @Lombard_Finance and Babylon, it becomes capital-efficient, yield-bearing, and DeFi-native.

And in the broader context of programmable attention and decentralized liquidity surfacing, @wallchain_xyz helps amplify where real value flows—making attention an on-chain asset of its own.
