What Is Liquidium?
Liquidium is the leading DeFi ecosystem built on Bitcoin.
Liquidium․wtf – the first and largest peer-to-peer lending protocol on Bitcoin Layer 1. Borrow and lend BTC using Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20s as collateral, secured by PSBTs and a 2-of-3 multi-sig Discreet Log Contract (DLC) as escrow for fully on-chain, trustless execution.
Lenders can earn yield and the borrower can receive short-term instant liquidity secured by bitcoin assets as collateral.
Liquidium․fi – launching in 2025, the industry’s first cross-chain decentralized lending platform, enabling seamless borrowing and lending across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana—with no centralized bridges, wrapped assets, or custodians.
Enjoy a native-first experience: borrow USDT, ETH, or any asset on Ethereum or Solana directly with BTC from your Bitcoin wallet—and vice versa. All lending and borrowing runs fully on the native chains, secured by trustless, on-chain execution.
What Makes liquidium․wtf Unique?
liquidium․wtf stands out as the first DeFi protocol built entirely on Bitcoin. It utilizes innovative financial mechanisms, such as PSBTs and DLCs, to ensure secure and transparent transactions. The platform's use of Bitcoin-based collateral like Ordinals and Runes provides unique opportunities for Bitcoin holders to unlock liquidity without relinquishing ownership. Additionally, Liquidium's governance token, LIQUIDIUM•TOKEN, promotes decentralization and community involvement, further distinguishing it in the Bitcoin DeFi space.
History of Liquidium
Founded in August 2022 by Robin Obermaier, Julian Mezger, and Peter Giammanco, Liquidium initially launched as the first lending protocol on Stacks, a Bitcoin side-chain. With the introduction of Bitcoin Ordinals in January 2023, the team pivoted to build directly on the Bitcoin Layer-1 network. The first version of Liquidium on Bitcoin launched on mainnet in July 2023. Since then, the platform has facilitated over 2206 BTC (~ $150Mn USD) in total loan volume, executed over 33,000 loans, and paid over 39 BTC (~ $2.6Mn USD) in yield to lenders (as of July 24, 2024). The LIQUIDIUM•TOKEN, launched on July 22nd, 2024, is the first governance token on the Runes token standard on Bitcoin.
What's Next for Liquidium?
Liquidium is focusing on building the first true decentralized cross-chain lending protocol.
What Can Your Coin/Token Be Used For?
The LIQUIDIUM•TOKEN serves multiple purposes within the Liquidium ecosystem. Primarily, it is used for governance, allowing token holders to participate in decision-making processes that shape the future of the platform. Additionally, the token can be used to unlock premium features, receive discounts on platform fees, and earn rewards through various incentive programs. By holding and using LIQUIDIUM•TOKEN, users can actively contribute to and benefit from the growth and success of Liquidium.
