Lava is for bitcoin savings. “I view bitcoin as being very distinct from crypto. I think a lot of the companies in crypto are serving this trading, speculation use case. Whereas Lava is really serving this bitcoin savings use case.” - Lava CEO Shehzan Maredia on TBPN.

The price of the average US home, denominated in BTC, has been steadily trending lower for a decade. Even as homes get more expensive in dollar terms. Bitcoin doesn’t just protect your wealth from being inflated away— it allows your life to get cheaper over time. Saving in bitcoin is a financial superpower.

The most important question you can ask when taking out a bitcoin-backed loan is "what happens to my collateral?" With Lava, you get cryptographic proof that your funds are secure, in your self-custody, and cannot be rehypothecated. Easily verifiable from within our app.

100 Billion Dollars. That’s how much money was lost by custodial bitcoin-backed lenders in 2022 alone. We created a better solution: bitcoin-backed loans that don’t require you to give up self-custody. You get cryptographic proof, not just legal or reputational assurances, that your collateral is safe. We’ve got some big announcements happening this week at Bitcoin 2025. See you all there!

1. We partner with large liquidity providers to supply on the lending side. 2. Our loans initiate at 50% LTV. If BTC crashes, users can add more collateral or pay off part of their loan at any time. If the LTV reaches a pre-defined ratio, the BTC gets released from the contract to the lender to liquidate. 3. We don't do anything with it because we don't have access to it! The user never gives up their BTC to a custodian. It goes into a contract on the Bitcoin L1, and the user can verify that on-chain at any time. Rehypothecation is impossible. 4. Because this product is built on self-custody and the loans are done via discreet log contracts, the user always has access to their funds. Appreciate the questions! Happy to answer more!

Hello, Farcaster! Allow us to introduce ourselves. At Lava, we’ve built the most secure way to borrow against your bitcoin. No counterparties, no custodians, no bridges. Instead, we’ve built a fully on-chain lending protocol that leverages Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs), which are smart contracts that are native to bitcoin. Using Lava, you can take out a USD loan using your bitcoin as collateral without giving up self-custody. It’s fast, secure, and we offer some of the best rates in the business. You can check us out at www.lava.xyz to learn more! Feel free to message us if you’ve got any questions. We’re excited to be here!
