🪙 BitcoinOS Sees 'Renaissance' for Litecoin With Its First Ever ZK Rollup
For years, Litecoin's narrative as the digital silver to Bitcoin's gold has appeared to be on the wane, with its price down some 76% from its all-time high set more than four years ago.
But that doesn’t mean Litecoin has been forgotten. On the occasion of the Litecoin Summit, BitcoinOS has revealed that it's pioneering a trustless ZK rollup for Litecoin.
"Litecoin is one of the biggest chains out there with a massive audience," Edan Yago, co-founder and core contributor to BitcoinOS, told Decrypt. "I think we're about to see a renaissance."
Their latest work with Litecoin, through LitVM, a Layer 2 protocol compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, would enable native peer-to-peer transfers and stablecoin rails.
"Litecoin has proven to be an asset for almost 14 years with no downtime. It's only right that through ZK tech, its strengths will now be available to other chains," Charlie Lee.
For the first time, Litecoin will benefit from a zero-knowledge rollup (ZK rollup). The tech works by grouping many transactions together into a single batch, saving space and speeding up transactions.
Launched using BitcoinOS's BitSNARK ZK verifier, the new rollup for Litecoin aims to unlock a new era for Litecoin by enabling trustless bridging and cross-chain transactions with Bitcoin and other blockchains like Cardano.
"It integrates Litecoin deeply with Bitcoin and Cardano," and "reduces fragmentation" in the process, Yago explained.
For end users, the integration could help them make the most out of the best features of all three blockchains, Yago claimed.
"It utilizes the best of all worlds: the security of Bitcoin, the speed of Litecoin, smart contracts and DeFi from the rest of crypto," he said, claiming that the integration would result in "a unified ecosystem where they have less trust assumptions, where there are no bridges, and [where] they can put their BTC to work."

As you can see, I'm currently holding a strong majority in USDT (Tether). This isn’t by accident — after selling BANANAS31/USDT at a high point, I’ve moved most of my capital into stable assets to secure profits and wait for the next solid entry. Holding over 77% in USDT gives me flexibility and protection against market volatility, especially with current trends being so unpredictable.
The 18.56% in 'Others' represents a mix of altcoins I’m testing or holding short-term based on technical signals or news-based momentum. These are more volatile, so I’m cautious and actively manage them. I’m always scanning for good entries, but staying diversified to reduce risk.
BTTC (BitTorrent Chain) makes up the smallest portion at 3.97%. It’s more of a speculative bet for me — low cost, high potential upside in the long run. I’m keeping an eye on its developments but not going all in.
This portfolio is part of a flexible strategy: protect gains, stay liquid, and be ready for quick moves. The market is always shifting, so I prefer staying in a strong position rather than being overexposed. Patience is key.
📌 Remember: Everyone’s strategy is different — mine is about balance, safety, and seizing opportunities as they come.
What’s your current portfolio look like?
The @Lombard_Finance Lux points program is actually one of the smartest setups I’ve seen in a while.
You earn 10 Lux points daily for holding just 0.01 LBTC, and there are solid boosts too, like 3x points for lending on Suilend. @Lombard_Finance hasn’t said anything about a token yet, but this point system feels like it’s leading somewhere. Reminds me of how Solv started.
What I like most is that it’s tied to real DeFi use, lending, LPs, staking, so it’s not just a farming gimmick.
