Liquidium has introduced an open-source liquid staking framework designed for Bitcoin’s Runes protocol tokens, offering a new approach to decentralized finance (DeFi) on the Bitcoin network. This framework enables users to stake Liquidium’s LIQ tokens and receive sLIQ tokens, which represent their staked positions while maintaining liquidity. The sLIQ tokens can be traded and used within the Liquidium ecosystem, allowing users to earn staking rewards without locking up their assets.
The staking rewards are derived from protocol revenue rather than token inflation. Liquidium allocates 30% of its daily revenue from its lending platforms to buy back LIQ tokens, which are then redistributed to stakers. This model aims to create token scarcity and generate sustainable yields, distinguishing it from traditional staking models that rely on inflationary rewards.
The open-source nature of the framework allows other Bitcoin-native projects to integrate liquid staking mechanics into their protocols. By building on an audited and tested application, these projects can adopt secure liquid staking features while focusing on their unique use cases and product features. This approach fosters interoperability and composability across the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem.
Liquidium’s framework leverages Internet Computer’s chain fusion technology to ensure wallet security, allowing transactions to occur directly on Bitcoin’s mainnet without the need for wrapped assets or off-chain custody. This design minimizes trust assumptions and accelerates Bitcoin’s financial sovereignty.
As more projects and users adopt this open-source application, the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem is expected to grow, providing enhanced infrastructure and true revenue sharing through liquid staking tokens like sLIQ. Liquidium’s initiative represents a step forward in building a more decentralized and sustainable DeFi ecosystem on Bitcoin.
