About

Lorenzo Protocol is a Bitcoin liquidity platform that enables BTC holders to stake their assets and receive liquid staking tokens, facilitating participation in decentralized finance (DeFi) activities without sacrificing liquidity. By integrating with Babylon's Bitcoin staking infrastructure, Lorenzo allows users to earn yields on staked Bitcoin while maintaining asset flexibility.

Key Features

  • Liquid Restaking
    Users can stake their BTC through Lorenzo and receive two types of Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs):

    • Liquid Principal Tokens (LPTs): Represent the staked principal
    • Yield-Accruing Tokens (YATs): Accumulate staking rewards
      This structure enables users to participate in DeFi without locking up their assets.
  • Integration with Babylon
    Lorenzo leverages Babylon's Bitcoin staking protocol to secure its operations, allowing staked BTC to contribute to the security of various Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chains and strengthening the overall DeFi ecosystem.

  • Modular Bitcoin Layer 2 Architecture
    The protocol offers a flexible, modular Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) architecture, enabling developers to build customized, scalable, and secure L2 solutions tailored to specific applications.

  • DeFi Ecosystem Participation
    Lorenzo’s liquid staking tokens can be freely traded and utilized within its DeFi ecosystem, allowing users to maximize yield opportunities while maintaining liquidity.
