Expanding dlcBTC Utility on Native Lend

Through this partnership, dlcBTC holders can now deposit their tokens into a single pool on Native Lend.

The integration allows dlcBTC LPs to earn yields from the entire Native ecosystem of DeFi applications.

Native's unique Peer-to-Professional Market Maker liquidity model offers sustainable yield earning opportunities in the form of market maker financing fees.

Why Native?

Native Lend stands out in the DeFi landscape for several reasons:

  1. Unified Liquidity: Native serves as a shared liquidity layer underlying DeFi. By pooling liquidity in this way, it resolves many of the liquidity fragmentation issues facing the space today.

  2. Access to Professional Market Makers: By leveraging Native’s pooled dlcBTC liquidity on credit, professional market makers can facilitate trades with optimal pricing and high capital efficiency.

  3. Sustainable Yield: LPs earn a portion of the credit financing fees paid by market makers, providing a steady and reliable income stream.

  4. Single-Asset Liquidity: LPs supply dlcBTC only, avoiding the impermanent loss common in other protocols.

Incentivized Launch and Rewards Program

To celebrate this partnership, Native Lend will launch an incentivized program in collaboration with dlcBTC.

The program aims to attract early adopters by offering a comprehensive rewards package, potentially leading to attractive Annual Percentage Yields (APY) on their supplied capital.

The Future of DeFi with dlcBTC

Integrating dlcBTC into Native's ecosystem represents a significant step forward in DeFi innovation.

dlcBTC, developed using Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) invented at MIT, provides a safer and more secure way to wrap Bitcoin for DeFi use.

The partnership underscores the commitment of dlcBTC to enhance the utility of Bitcoin in the decentralized finance world.

Key Benefits of dlcBTC:

  • Self-Wrapping: dlcBTC allows users to lock their Bitcoin in a multi-sig contract, maintaining complete control and eliminating third-party risks, such as government seizure and fund mismanagement.

  • Theft-Proof Pre-signature mechanism: Even in the event of a system breach, hackers can only transfer the locked BTC back to the original depositor, not steal it.

  • Transparency and Security: The process of locking Bitcoin into a DLC lockbox with cryptographic proofs is transparent and observable on the blockchain, offering clear visibility and audibility.

  • Efficient and Cost-Effective: The dlcBTC system is fully automated, eliminating the need for manual custody and resulting in rapid minting processes.
