TL;DR: Lorenzo Protocol has partnered with Macaron, the first native DEX built on Bitlayer. This collaboration will integrate stBTC, aiming to create the largest stBTC/BTC pool in the Bitlayer ecosystem, enhancing liquidity and providing high APRs.
We are incredibly excited to announce Macaron as our latest DeFi ecosystem partner.
Macaron is the first and native DEX built on Bitlayer, offering seamless trading and competitive yield-making schemes, including liquidity farming, staking incentives, trade-to-earn programs, and a unique community-driven Point & Airdrop program.
Expanding stBTC Utility In The Bitlayer Ecosystem
Key to our partnership will be the integration of stBTC, Lorenzo’s native liquid principle token (LPT).
Together, we aim to establish the largest stBTC/BTC pool in the Bitlayer ecosystem, offering users a high APR. This initiative will encourage other projects to build pools with stBTC, boosting its utility and adoption.
Macaron will leverage its ve33 model to allocate a high voting rate to this pool, allowing users to earn a high APR. Lorenzo is committed to actively promoting stBTC trading on Macaron, enhancing liquidity, and opening up new yield opportunities.
Elevating The Lorenzo Mission
Our partnership with Macaron marks an exciting milestone in the Lorenzo timeline, as Macaron’s innovative DEX and yield-generating tools are rapidly gaining traction. This collaboration is a significant step forward in our mission to be the premier platform for yield-bearing token issuance, trading, and settlement through Babylon.
Through our combined efforts and commitment to enhancing the DeFi experience, our platforms will unlock mutual benefits for our users and cultivate a more rewarding ecosystem for all traders and yield seekers.
Lorenzo Protocol is building the first Bitcoin liquidity finance layer, complete with a Bitcoin liquid staking protocol, to achieve the goal of becoming the premier platform for yield-bearing token issuance, trading, and settlement through Babylon. On its platform, Lorenzo connects Bitcoin stakers — regardless of the size of their holdings — with top-tier projects needing liquidity and security, thus unlocking the liquidity of staked assets and capturing world-class yields for stakers. It offers streamlined Bitcoin management and user protections such as staking insurance, node operator credit scores, anti-slashing mechanisms, and validator permits.
This foundation facilitates seamless integration and interoperability for Bitcoin across the Web3 ecosystem, providing a pathway for significant liquidity and yield generation across networks. By issuing two forms of liquid staking tokens — liquid principal tokens (LPTs) and yield accruing tokens (YATs) — to users upon the completion of their BTC deposit, Lorenzo not only enhances liquidity but also establishes a foundation for a DeFi ecosystem built on these token standards. This enables the creation of more complex DeFi products utilizing stBTC (Lorenzo’s native LPT) and YATs, further exploring the possibilities of Bitcoin finance.
