A Bitcoin cross-chain liquidity staking protocol, Lombard, announced that starting from September 11, all Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) will be converted to Lombard Bitcoin (LBTC). The conversion aims to maximize restaking opportunities across various protocols including EigenLayer, Symbiotic, and Karak.
The Value of Assets in a Short Time
The conversion of wBTC to LBTC follows significant growth in ether.fi’s eBTC, whose asset value rose from $38 million to $61 million since the launch of restaking with LBTC last week. The protocol aims to simplify the restaking process for users, allowing them to earn double returns through staking and restaking. eBTC, a product of ether.fi, is designed to facilitate easy participation for users who want to restake their Bitcoin in protocols like Symbiotic, Karak, and soon-to-be-supported EigenLayer.
High-Speed Restaking Transactions
One of the most intriguing aspects of Lombard's protocol is that users can reclaim yields without constantly monitoring deposit limits. ether.fi automatically reclaims LBTC deposits in Symbiotic as deposit limits are lifted, making the process more user-friendly and efficient. For instance, the recent deposit limit of 165 LBTC was filled in just 12 minutes, indicating high demand and an extremely fast restaking process within the community.
Future Plans and Expansion
Lombard’s move reflects the growing interest and participation in restaking protocols that allow users to earn additional rewards by securing the network through their staked assets. As the protocol continues to expand its offerings, users can expect more opportunities to maximize their yields and engage with a wide variety of staking and restaking products.
The conversion of Wrapped Bitcoin to Lombard Bitcoin is an important step towards simplifying the staking process and maximizing returns for users. Lombard protocol continues to evolve, providing new opportunities and increasing the yield potential for participants.
