Today we’re excited to share that MegaETH has chosen Lombard as its Primary Bitcoin partner. Together, we’re introducing the purest expression of BTC into the MegaETH ecosystem — a permissionless, credibly neutral BTC primitive designed to unlock Bitcoin’s full potential in real-time onchain finance.

This collaboration combines Bitcoin’s unmatched $2.3T capital base with MegaETH’s unprecedented execution environment. It’s the foundation for a new era of Bitcoin capital markets: the hardest money moving at the fastest speed.

BTC on MegaETH: Native, Permissionless, Embedded

Bitcoin on MegaETH won’t look like the wrappers of the past. It will be:

• Native — permissionless BTC, fully backed, never an IOU.
• Permissionless — anyone, anywhere can mint or redeem.
• Embedded — through the Lombard SDK, developers can integrate BTC directly into apps without friction, and with trusted underlying infrastructure already adopted by leading wallets, exchanges, and protocols.

Today, centralized exchanges drive trillions in Bitcoin-denominated activity — but little of that liquidity has ever reached onchain markets. BTC on MegaETH changes that. It’s designed to feel as seamless as using BTC on a CEX, while retaining all the benefits of being permissionless and transparent. Native onboarding, institutional-grade security, and developer-ready tooling combine to make Bitcoin on MegaETH the foundation for real financial applications onchain.

MegaETH: The first real-time blockchain designed to rival Web2 applications

Since the early days of DeFi, developers have faced the same constraint: infrastructure that simply couldn’t support mass-market financial applications. The vision was there, but the execution environment wasn’t.

MegaETH changes that. It is the first real-time blockchain, capable of sub-10ms block times and over 1 gigagas/second — performance on par with platforms like Google or Stripe.

For the first time, an execution layer exists that delivers the responsiveness of Web2 while preserving the benefits of Web3: permissionless access, non-custodial design, and open composability. In MegaETH, onchain applications can finally compete with — and even surpass — their centralized counterparts in user experience.

Why is Lombard bringing Bitcoin to MegaETH?

From day one, Lombard has been building for a simple vision: make Bitcoin the financial base layer of onchain markets.

To achieve that, speed and scale matter. Real-world financial applications require seamless UX — low latency and high throughput that feels invisible to the user. For Bitcoin to truly move onchain, it needs an execution environment that can keep up.

That’s why this is the perfect integration for Bitcoin on MegaETH. It’s the first chain fast and performant enough to make onchain Bitcoin Capital Markets possible.

• For users → A Bitcoin asset that feels like using BTC on centralized exchanges, but fully permissionless and transparent.
• For developers → SDK integrations that abstract away infrastructure complexity, letting any MegaETH app embed BTC seamlessly.
• For the ecosystem → The hardest money embedded as the primary financial layer in the fastest chain ever built.

In MegaETH, we see the execution environment Bitcoin has always needed.

Trading, Finance, and the New Era of BTC Capital Markets

The combination of MegaETH and Lombard also creates something entirely new: real-time Bitcoin trading and finance onchain.

• Bitcoin as collateral for high-performance trading, stablecoin borrowing, and structured products.
• Developers building Web2-quality financial apps on a fully permissionless stack.
• Institutions accessing the hardest money with the fastest UX in crypto.

CEXs have long dominated Bitcoin activity, but their liquidity has rarely flowed onchain. With Lombard + MegaETH, we’re bridging that gap — creating an experience that looks and feels like a centralized exchange, but with the security and openness of DeFi.

What’s Coming:

As MegaETH prepares for its Mainnet, Lombard will be the primary Bitcoin partner from day 1. Together we will deploy Lombard’s permissionless BTC as the primary BTC asset in the ecosystem.

This is more than a product integration. It’s a blueprint for how Bitcoin can finally become a first-class asset in onchain finance.

Hardest Money. Fastest Chain: The MegaETH x BTC era begins.

Lombard is all-in on Bitcoin. We’re building the capital markets that will unlock Bitcoin’s full potential as the foundation of onchain finance.

MegaETH is the fastest execution environment yet to host that vision.

Hardest money. Fastest chain.

Stay tuned.
