We're thrilled to share that LBTC is now live on Starknet, bringing Bitcoin's premier yield-bearing asset to one of the most promising Layer 2 ecosystems.

Why This Launch Matters

LBTC's arrival on Starknet isn't just another deployment—it's a strategic alignment with the future of Bitcoin in DeFi. Starknet is positioning itself as the hub for Bitcoin Yield and the most cost-effective place to borrow against Bitcoin, and LBTC is perfectly positioned to be a cornerstone of this vision.

With BTCFi Season officially underway, efficient markets for BTC assets become available on Starknet while offering users a diverse range of opportunities. Starknet Foundation has allocated 100M STRK tokens to bootstrap liquidity and drive adoption, creating an opportunity for Bitcoin holders to maximize their yield potential.

What is LBTC?

LBTC is BTC with an APY. Here's what makes LBTC special:

• ~1% APY: Auto-accrues yield by staking underlying BTC to Babylon
• Fully backed: Every LBTC is backed by BTC
• Permissionless: No restrictions on who can mint, hold, or use LBTC
• Battle-tested: Already proven across multiple chains with $3 billion onboarded

Immediate Opportunities on Starknet

From day one, LBTC holders on Starknet can:

• Stake on Endur to secure the Starknet network while earning LBTC's native yield
• Trade on Ekubo with deep liquidity pools
• Lend on Vesu to multiply yield opportunities
• Loop strategies to optimize returns across protocols

A Perfect Strategic Alignment

Lombard Protocol's mission to bring Bitcoin into DeFi aligns perfectly with Starknet's long-term vision of becoming the execution layer for both Ethereum and Bitcoin. This collaboration represents a key milestone in building a modular, multi-chain DeFi ecosystem where assets from both chains can flow freely and unlock new possibilities.

Starknet's focus on decentralization makes it a natural home for Bitcoin assets in DeFi, offering the reliable foundation that BTC needs to thrive in a cross-chain, modular ecosystem.

Join the BTCFi Revolution

LBTC has already found a home on Ethereum, Base, Sui, and Solana, with $1.5B in circulation proving the massive demand for yield-bearing Bitcoin. Now, Starknet users can tap into this proven infrastructure while taking advantage of the unique opportunities that BTCFi Season brings.

The future of Bitcoin in DeFi is here, and it starts with LBTC on Starknet.
