What Is Lombard?
Lombard is a protocol focusing on becoming the driving force of the Bitcoin Ecosystem. Inspired by the onchain revolution—including DeFi, stablecoins and tokenization—its mission is to make Bitcoin more accessible for all, from everyday users to the crucial developers building apps. To do so, it builds powerful infrastructure and supports participants in the Bitcoin ecosystem, unlocking new ways to use the network. This, it believes will increase Bitcoin’s cultural significance and value to the wider ecosystem, thus supporting its growth now and further into the future. .
As part of this push, in 2024 it launched its Bitcoin-based liquid staking token LBTC, allowing users to earn Bitcoin Yield* and thus opening up the DeFi ecosystem to Bitcoin users.
To explain, LBTC works like any other DeFi token, giving users the power to trade or access DeFi services in the EVM ecosystem, something impossible to do simply with Bitcoin. As a result, Lombard has seen huge success, with LBTC becoming Bitcoin’s leading liquid staking token.
