Lombard: A Pioneer in Building Institutional-Grade Bitcoin Staking Infrastructure Only two days into 2026, a chill is already in the air. There are so few projects to participate in, and even fewer worth mentioning. I don't know how we'll survive this year. According to official disclosures from Lombard (@Lombard_Finance), the platform is rapidly expanding its Bitcoin staking infrastructure through strategic partnerships with top institutional staking service providers (such as Figment, Blockdae, Chorus One, etc.). ① LBTC Popularity: As a core product, LBTC is becoming a key bridge connecting Bitcoin's native assets with the DeFi ecosystem. ② Community Dynamics: With the successful conclusion of "The Big Christmas Drop," Lombard (@Lombard_Finance)'s active user base and on-chain activity reached an all-time high at the end of 2025. ③ Security Endorsement: By introducing these highly reputable node operators, Lombard further enhances the decentralization of its security alliance. ■ Leveraging Institutional Credit Endorsement Lombard (@Lombard_Finance) The core of scalable expansion lies in the standardized engineering of "security" and "profit": ➡️ Node operator selection ➡️ Babylon protocol integration ➡️ Incentive and loyalty mechanisms This series of collaborations marks a decisive transformation of Bitcoin from a "static store of value asset" to a "dynamic productive asset."
