Bitcoin's real killer app might just be productive yield. The challenge has always been the same—your holdings sit idle while you miss out on returns, or you chase yields and compromise on security.
What if you didn't have to choose? LBTC introduces a middle ground: locked Bitcoin that generates yield across DeFi ecosystems while staking holders continue earning native Bitcoin rewards. The mechanics are elegant—over 80% of holdings maintain their security guarantees while simultaneously participating in multiple yield-generating strategies across decentralized protocols.
It's a shift in how we think about capital efficiency. Rather than locking Bitcoin away or exposing it to unnecessary risk, this approach lets your BTC work across integrated DeFi rails without sacrificing the fundamentals you bought Bitcoin for in the first place. The result? Productive capital that doesn't ask you to pick a side.

Sounds good, but can we really guarantee that 80% safety? It still feels a bit uncertain.

To be honest, the logic of this LBTC sounds good, but I'm still a bit worried about how that 80% security guarantee is actually ensured... Can I really earn interest while holding it with peace of mind?

NGL, I need to think about this logic... An 80% security level with yield sounds quite tempting, but can we really have both fish and bear paws?

When it comes to returns, I've heard about it a lot, but the key is how much can actually be achieved...

It sounds like they want BTC to make money passively while not worrying about risks. Is this feasible?

Sounds good, but I've heard this kind of "getting both the fish and the bear's paw" promise too many times... Can it really guarantee that 80% is safe?

This LBTC logic sounds good, but can it really be 80% secure + yield at the same time? It's a bit uncertain; only real-world testing will tell.

Sounds good, but can that 80% security really be guaranteed? Or is it just another marketing gimmick...
