This is one of the biggest technical steps forward for Bitcoin’s onchain future. @Lombard_Finance has officially taken BTC.b crosschain using Cubist’s authenticated deposits and HSM backed key management to scale Bitcoin securely across multiple ecosystems. That’s not just infrastructure; that’s risk engineering on a whole new level. What I find interesting here is how Lombard keeps setting a new standard for Bitcoin infrastructure: - Permissionless minting and redeeming - Auditable, authenticated bridging - Transparent governance through a consortium model Instead of reinventing the wheel, Lombard built on top of proven Bitcoin and Avalanche foundations and turned them into something interoperable, verifiable, and scalable. It’s rare to see this kind of precision from a protocol working at Bitcoin’s layer. This cross-chain upgrade basically connects Bitcoin liquidity to every ecosystem that integrates with Cubist and Chainlink CCIP meaning BTC.b isn’t just an Avalanche asset anymore. It’s the start of a multichain Bitcoin network. It’s crazy how we’ve gone from “wrapped BTC” being a centralized gateway to now having a decentralized, verifiable Bitcoin asset secured by multiple institutions. That’s how real capital markets get built one strong integration at a time. Massive milestone for Bitcoin DeFi and for Lombard.
