Lombard Brings Bitcoin to Starknet Through LBTC Integration

Lombard Protocol is integrating LBTC—liquid-staked Bitcoin backed 1:1 by BTC—into the Starknet ecosystem. This move bridges Bitcoin’s value into Starknet’s DeFi environment, enabling BTC holders to earn yield and participate in decentralized finance without leaving the Bitcoin security model.

Key Ideas

LBTC allows users to stake native Bitcoin via Babylon and receive a DeFi-ready token usable across chains like Ethereum, Base, and now Starknet—unlocking lending, trading, and liquidity provisioning while maintaining full BTC backing.
The Starknet integration empowers both institutions and individuals to activate idle Bitcoin capital in a scalable, modular DeFi ecosystem, aligning with Starknet’s broader vision of becoming a unified execution layer for Ethereum and Bitcoin.
