Liquidium

Liquidium is the premier platform for peer-to-peer Bitcoin lending. Users can borrow or lend Bitcoin using unique Bitcoin-based assets called Ordinal Inscriptions (Ordinals) and Runes as collateral. This process is securely facilitated through Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) and Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs), all on Layer-1 Bitcoin.

Ordinal Lending

I had the opportunity to work with Liquidium for Bitcoin Ordinal lending, which involves borrowing Bitcoin using your inscription as collateral. The Bitcoin Ordinal is locked in a non-custodial escrow wallet until the loan, including interest, is fully repaid. Throughout the loan period, the locked Ordinals remain inaccessible to borrowers, lenders, and Liquidium.

Runes Testing

I've tested the beta version of Runes lending on Liquidium. It is the first platform of its kind in the Bitcoin ecosystem, allowing users to lend, hedge, leverage, and earn interest on runes.

Yield Farming

Historically, yields in the crypto economy have been higher than those offered by the treasury or federal reserves. The crypto economy has also grown faster than the fiat economy. This growth has increased the popularity of DeFi within the crypto space. As a result, I have had the opportunity to further expand my knowledge in crypto borrowing and lending.
