The two hottest narrative directions of the Bitcoin ecosystem in 2024 are expanding Bitcoin’s programmability and staking to earn interest. Bitcoin’s scalability solutions are still in the stage of flourishing and exploring, but the “big king” and “small king” have already been distinguished in the narrative of staking to earn interest.

Babylon has become the mainstream in the Bitcoin staking interest narrative by virtue of its features such as self-custody of user assets, sharing Bitcoin security for PoS chains and obtaining staking income. In the first phase of staking on the mainnet launched by Babylon on August 22, the upper limit of 1,000 BTC was reached in just 7 blocks, and the network gas fee soared to thousands of satoshis/bytes.

The popularity of the Babylon ecosystem has also spawned many liquidity pledge protocols built around Babylon. Especially for retail investors, these liquidity pledge protocols not only provide convenience for them to participate in Babylon pledge, but also can further release BTC liquidity based on Babylon, providing users with more sources of income. O Daily Planet Daily will review the liquidity pledge protocols of the Babylon ecosystem in this article. The summary information is shown in the figure below, and the detailed protocol introduction information is in the text.

The BTC that users deposit into the Lombard platform will be pledged to Babylon to obtain pledge income. At the same time, users can mint LBTC on the Ethereum chain at a 1:1 ratio to participate in DeFi activities, and Babylons pledge income will be directly included in the LBTC token. In the future, LBTC also plans to expand to multiple blockchains such as Solana and Cosmos to expand the liquidity of LBTC.

Lombard uses a security alliance mechanism and non-custodial key management platform CubeSigner to ensure the security of users BTC.

On August 21, the day before Babylon launched the mainnet staking, Lombard launched a whitelist deposit test on the mainnet. Qualified users can deposit BTC into Lombard, and then when Babylon launches the mainnet, Lombard will help users deposit funds into Babylon. However, due to the fierce competition on the day of Babylon staking, Lombard decided not to stake BTC into Babylon for the time being, and invested the saved fees into ecological construction.

At the same time, Lombard launched a public beta version on September 3, and all users can deposit BTC and mint LBTC on the Lombard platform. According to 砂丘 data, the supply of LBTC has exceeded 4400.3958 pieces, and the number of addresses is 4443.
