Maestro, a leading provider of enterprise-level BitcoinFi infrastructure, proudly announces support for Liquidium through its reliable indexing and real-time access to mempools, enabling the full unlocking of credit lines built directly at the Bitcoin base layer.
The flagship borrowing and lending protocol Liquidium, LiquidiumWTF, has processed over 4230 BTC (approximately 500 million dollars) in loans on ordinals, runes, and BRC-20. Furthermore, their cross-chain borrowing protocol LiquidiumFi enables native borrowing and lending in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana without bridges or wrapped assets.
Liquidium largely relies on access to asset metadata and minimal real-time pricing. This innovation has been made possible by Maestro, which provides access to indexers and real-time mempool access. This capability allows both Liquidium protocols to instantly respond to blockchain events, providing lenders and borrowers with faster and more accurate loan executions.
"We have been using Maestro for just two months, but it has already saved us nearly 100% of the time and resources we would have spent building our own infrastructure," said Peter Jamanko, co-founder and CTO of Liquidium. "It's hard to overstate the speed boost it has given our development cycle."
Critically important and high-performance Bitcoin data processing services provided by Maestro have allowed Liquidium to focus its engineering efforts on product development rather than building and maintaining blockchain infrastructure from scratch. This has helped accelerate Liquidium’s development, saving significant time and resources. This collaboration marks an important step towards the adoption of Bitcoin-based innovations.
With an accelerated development cycle, LiquidiumWTF recently introduced innovative instant loans, allowing users to pledge BTC as collateral using assets like ordinals or runes through lender-funded vaults at level 1. Meanwhile, their second protocol, LiquidiumFi, launches cross-chain loans that allow users to lock native BTC in bitcoins and borrow stablecoins such as USDT in Ethereum. It utilizes the Chain Fusion technology of the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), which provides secure programmable access to bitcoins without conversion.
Co-founder and CEO of Maestro Marvin Bertin stated, "The vast majority of bitcoins are still sitting idle in wallets. Liquidium provides real capital efficiency without sacrificing decentralization. At Maestro, we take pride in supporting Liquidium and bringing true DeFi technology to bitcoins."
Having processed billions of API calls and powering over 250 applications, Maestro is a key infrastructure provider for BitcoinFi. It is specifically designed to ensure security and compliance at the enterprise level.
By unlocking income-generating opportunities without the need to bind or wrap native Bitcoin assets, Liquidium does for the BitcoinFi ecosystem what Aave did for Ethereum. It allows for the efficient utilization of unused bitcoins, converting ordinals, runes, and BRC-20 into collateral for real BTC loans. Thanks to high-performance Bitcoin data processing services from Maestro, Liquidium unlocks the full potential of the BitcoinFi economy.
