The open-source protocol design permits third-party developers to integrate additional Runes-based assets.<\/p>\n<p>Staking rewards derive from protocol revenue rather than token inflation. Liquidium allocates 30% of daily revenue from its lending platforms to purchase LIQ tokens, which are then redistributed to stakers.<\/p>\n<p>The company reserves 70% of revenue for operational expenses. This mechanism aims to create token scarcity while generating sustainable yields.<\/p>\n<p>The Runes protocol, introduced as a Bitcoin-native token standard, enables the creation of fungible tokens directly on the BTC blockchain.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Technical implementation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The staking system operates through a decentralized Bitcoin wallet secured by Internet Computer's chain fusion technology.<\/p>\n<p>The wallet operates independently, executing only predefined staking contract logic without requiring third-party control. All transactions occur directly on Bitcoin's mainnet without requiring wrapped assets or off-chain custody.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/robin-obermaier\/\">Robin Obermaier<\/a>, Liquidium's co-founder and CEO, stated the framework connects to the company's existing products.<\/p>\n<p>LiquidiumWTF, the platform's peer-to-peer lending protocol, generates revenue through Bitcoin-collateralized loans. LiquidiumFi, scheduled to launch later this year, will enable cross-chain lending across Bitcoin, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/solana\/\">Solana<\/a> networks.<\/p>\n<p>The staking framework integrates with Liquidium's existing operations on Bitcoin Layer 1. Since launch, the platform has processed over 102,000 loans, generating $8 million in lender interest and facilitating $450 million in borrowing volume.<\/p>\n<p>The protocol supports Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 tokens as collateral through Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) and multi-signature Discreet Log Contracts for escrow.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional implementations often require wrapping native assets or moving them to secondary networks. Liquidium's approach maintains Bitcoin network residency throughout the staking process.<\/p>\n<p>The company plans to expand its DeFi ecosystem through the staking framework while maintaining its focus on native Bitcoin operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Liquidium Foundation has released a liquid staking framework for Rune-based tokens operating on Bitcoin&#8217;s layer-1 network.
