3 minutes read

The LBTC SDK is the easiest way for digital asset platforms, wallets, exchanges, and institutional providers to offer native Bitcoin staking to their users, without compromising on composability, security, or user experience. Built by Lombard, the SDK allows seamless integration of LBTC, the leading Bitcoin liquid staked token, directly into any application or interface.

As the liquid Bitcoin market surpasses $5 billion, the SDK gives integrators a way to capture that momentum: increasing TVL, improving retention, and unlocking new yield-driven user flows. Early adopters include Binance, Bybit, Staking Rewards, and Kiln, with many more coming soon.

What Is the LBTC SDK?

LBTC is Lombard’s liquid staked Bitcoin— a 1:1-backed, yield-bearing asset that makes BTC composable across DeFi. It earns rewards through Babylon’s Bitcoin Staking Protocol and is integrated across 70+ protocols. Read more about LBTC:

The LBTC SDK is the fastest way to bring this functionality directly into any wallet, exchange, or digital asset platform. It’s a production-ready integration toolkit with full API documentation, a live demo app, and hands-on support.

Key SDK functions include:

  • Deposit BTC and mint LBTC
  • Deposit into DeFi: Auto-deploy into vaults or integrated protocols
  • Track LBTC balances, vault positions, and rewards
  • Claim BTC-based rewards and ecosystem incentives
  • Withdraw to BTC at any time

The LBTC SDK Opportunity: Why Top Platforms Are Integrating LBTC

Integrating the LBTC SDK enables many benefits for platforms looking to enable Bitcoin yield for users:

  • TVL growth by unlocking idle Bitcoin and turning it into productive asset
  • Increased user retention through in-app Bitcoin incentives and DeFi access
  • Expanded user base by attracting Bitcoin holders looking for yield and utility
  • Differentiation by offering capital-efficient BTC functionality not available elsewhere

How Bybit and Binance Leveraged the LBTC SDK to Activate over 1,000 BTC

Binance integrated the LBTC SDK into its Earn product, enabling users to stake BTC and earn yield directly within the app. The campaign drove 600+ BTC in deposits in under 30 days.

"BTC has always been the cornerstone of crypto, but until now, it’s been largely passive. This campaign marks a turning point — not just in how BTC is held, but how it moves. We’re unlocking real yield, real simplicity, and real access for the next wave of users,” said Emily Bao, Head of Bybit Web3.
