Lombard x EigenLayer: Bringing Bitcoin Restaking to Ethereum – A New Era for Interchain Capital Efficiency
In a groundbreaking move for the crypto world, Lombard has officially partnered with EigenLayer to bring Bitcoin restaking into the Ethereum ecosystem. This collaboration is more than just a technical integration — it’s a leap forward in unlocking the dormant value of Bitcoin and tapping it into Ethereum’s vibrant decentralized finance (DeFi) and security layers.
What does this mean?
Holders of BTC will now be able to restake their assets through Lombard’s protocol and participate in securing Ethereum-based services, thanks to EigenLayer’s innovative re-staking infrastructure. It’s a fusion of Bitcoin’s liquidity and Ethereum’s programmability, enabling users to earn yield, boost capital efficiency, and expand the utility of their BTC — all while helping secure a growing ecosystem of Actively Validated Services (AVSs).
Why it matters:
• Cross-chain innovation: Bridging the gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum.
• New utility for BTC: No longer just a store of value — BTC now helps secure Ethereum-based applications.
• Capital efficiency: Idle BTC becomes productive without leaving the owner’s control.
• Security synergy: Ethereum’s decentralized security model gets stronger with Bitcoin’s liquidity behind it.
This partnership is a huge step toward a more interconnected, interoperable crypto future. Bitcoin and Ethereum aren’t rivals — they’re becoming collaborators.

⚡️ Brothers, I am still quite optimistic about BTCfi. It’s not that other ecosystems are not performing well; Ethereum and Solana's DeFi are already mature, but what truly makes me feel there is still opportunity ahead is Bitcoin.

Looking at the data, we can examine the ratio of DeFi's TVL to network market value for several major ecosystems: Ethereum's DeFi TVL accounts for 21.28% of its market value, Solana is 9.98%, while Bitcoin is only 0.29%.

In other words, one-fifth of the funds on ETH are working, one-tenth on SOL, while BTC... only one out of three hundred is participating in DeFi, the rest are just lying dormant.

In a groundbreaking move that bridges the gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum, EigenLayer has announced a strategic partnership with Lombard Finance, introducing Bitcoin restaking through LBTC, Lombard’s liquid-staked Bitcoin token.
This marks a pivotal expansion for EigenLayer’s Ethereum-based restaking ecosystem and a monumental leap for Bitcoin holders looking to unlock new earning potential within the DeFi space.
What’s the Buzz About LBTC?
The newly introduced LBTC is a tokenized representation of staked BTC. When users stake their Bitcoin through Lombard Finance, they receive LBTC—an ERC-20 token that can now be restaked on EigenLayer, enabling users to earn dual-layered rewards:
Base yield from Bitcoin staking (powered by Babylon protocol)
Restaking rewards through EigenLayer’s ecosystem
This combination not only amplifies capital efficiency but also incentivizes Bitcoin holders to participate in Ethereum-based protocols—without selling their BTC.

"This is the first time Bitcoin is being introduced into Ethereum restaking—merging security and yield opportunities across the two largest blockchains," stated EigenLayer in their official announcement.

Why This Partnership Matters
With this collaboration, EigenLayer expands beyond Ethereum-native assets, while Lombard Finance opens up a trusted pathway for Bitcoin to enter smart contract ecosystems.
Key benefits include:
Seamless BTC integration into DeFi protocols
Enhanced security through EigenLayer’s slashing and validation framework
Greater cross-chain composability and interoperability
The move sets a precedent for layer-1 collaboration, providing a blueprint for how flagship blockchain ecosystems can synergize.

"This integration is a step toward unlocking true multi-chain utility for Bitcoin and making BTC a first-class citizen in the broader Web3 ecosystem," noted Lombard Finance.

What’s Next?
Both teams have committed to further developing secure restaking mechanisms and refining slashing conditions to protect user assets. More integrations, UI enhancements, and DeFi application support are expected in upcoming phases.
As the DeFi world watches closely, this partnership could usher in a new era of crypto liquidity, where Bitcoin finally breaks free of its “digital gold” label and becomes an active player in decentralized finance.
