Shipped recon-crypto-mcp — lets @AnthropicAI's Claude and @cursor_ai manage DeFi through a @Ledger hardware wallet. Reads, writes @aave, @compoundfinance, @MorphoLabs, @Uniswap, @LidoFinance, @eigencloud on ETH/@arbitrum/@0xPolygon. Swaps via @lifiprotocol. Keys stay on-device.

Tomorrow at @BlockworksDAS in NYC 🗽 March 24–26 Bitcoin. Payments. The builders making it real. If you're around — let's connect, DMs open ☕

MPP differs from other machine payment protocols in that it is payment-rail agnostic and extensible from day one. Tempo developed the initial stablecoin payment method. Stripe added support for its range of payment methods. Visa extended the protocol to enable broader card support. Lightspark expanded the protocol to support the Lightning Network.

@ltvprotocol @0xCorwin RIP my friend

Today, unfortunately, we have to share deeply difficult news. Ilya Abrosimov, @0xCorwin CEO of LTV Protocol, passed away on February 20. This is an immense loss for our team, our community, and everyone who had the privilege of working with him. From an operational standpoint, the protocol infrastructure remains fully functional and secure. In the coming days and weeks, I will provide clear and structured updates regarding next steps for LTV protocol.

Over 217 companies and projects are building on Bitcoin's Lightning Network. The Lightning industry continues to grow.

$1 billion/month on Lightning. The payment rails are live. Stroom exists to make sure the capital behind them is just as efficient. Stake BTC → earn yield → keep Lightning liquid. 🧡⚡

gm, we're on @DefiLlama now ⚡🦙 First @Lightning Network protocol ever listed. Track @StroomNetwork's TVL and metrics in real-time — Bitcoin liquid staking on Lightning, fully transparent. defillama.com/protocol/stroom

Many Bitcoin bridges lock $BTC in custody and ask users to trust the operators. @StroomNetwork's design deploys it instead. The architecture channels Lightning routing for fees, incorporates Babylon staking, and is designed to scale with Bitcoin L2s as they mature. strBTC grows in your wallet daily without leaving Bitcoin. Validators use FROST threshold signatures to jointly control the multisig vault - no single operator can move funds unilaterally. For Phase 2, validators will collateralize with external assets through @symbioticfi and @eigen_labs, creating economic accountability through slashing. Right now the bridge runs Phase 0 (soft launch August 2025, $26.4M TVL) with $wBTC deposits converted to $strBTC. The native BTC bridge and full restaking security are still being deployed. But Lightning routing - the primary yield source - already operates with routing fees generated on-chain. We think the design choice is interesting. Rather than building one monolithic security model, they're layering in multiple yield sources. Lightning today provides immediate yield. @babylonlabs_io and L2 integrations will expand that as the rollout continues and partnerships mature. Each source adds redundancy and reduces reliance on any single mechanism. The full analysis - DAO governance, how slashing actually works, why FROST threshold signatures solve the custody problem - lives on Medium 👇🏻 medium.com/p/stroom-netwo…

October was great — 55BTC sent through the Stroom node to @binance, @bitfinex, @okx, and @krakenfx🔥⚡️ Routing instant crypto transfers to the top exchanges!

There has been alot of debate about the utility and success of @lightning . If you missed yesterday's episode, it will answer some of these questions. @vladcostea interviewed @rostique, core builder and @ViacheslavZhyg1, CTO and co-founder at @StroomNetwork. Stroom Network presents the proposition of staking your bitcoin on the Lightning network, and earning yield from the transaction fees that routing nodes are collecting.

Bitcoin Lightning staking with @StroomNetwork @szygulin @rostique (Bitcoin Takeover Podcast S16 E54) x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

In a world still figuring out the true potential of the Lightning Network, Stroom dares to redefine what’s possible: true Bitcoin yield on Lightning-native infrastructure. Discover how it works in S16 E54 of the Bitcoin Takeover Podcast — Thursday, October 30th, 2025, 3 PM CET. ⚡️ @vladcostea and @BTCTKVR will host Stroom @rostique and @ViacheslavZhyg1

@VIhnatiuk @hartejsengh @StroomNetwork @Strategy @nakamoto @FulgurVentures @jackmallers Real BTC yield: 1-2% native APY today (despite aggressive scaling), targeting 3-5% at maturity. Zero opportunity cost. Holders get liquid BTC to deploy in DeFi strategies. The only true BTC yield on the market—no token farming, no speculation.

@hartejsengh @StroomNetwork @Strategy @nakamoto @FulgurVentures @jackmallers @rostique Bitcoin yield boss - can you share pls some yield numbers and on Stroom in general ?

Every BTC DATCO needs to earn yield or they won’t survive an upcoming bear market.

At Lightning2049, the panel @YukanL @rostique @Anastily @beeblebrox_G @dariusnostr highlighted the momentum around Taproot Assets, RGB, Ark, and Spark — and how they collectively shape Bitcoin’s evolution into a multi-asset protocol environment. #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #RGB #TaprootAssets #Spark #Ark

Had an incredible time at #Token2049 in Singapore speaking on the Lightning2049 panel last week! 🚀⚡ Discussed the future of Bitcoin, native BTC yield, and how @StroomNetwork is bringing economically secured liquid staking to BTC holders through the Lightning Network. Bitcoin's future is bright, and we're building the infrastructure to power it. 💪 Thanks to everyone who joined the discussion and to the organizers for having me! @LnfiNetwork @RGBAssociation @bitfinex #Bitcoin #Lightning #DeFi #BTCFi

⚡️ Stroom is now in the Top-10 Lightning Network nodes worldwide by capacity! Step by step, we’re scaling up the node capacity and making the network stronger. 🔗 amboss.space/node/03fe47fdf…

Excited to share insights on Lightning Network and the future of Bitcoin finance at #Lightning2049! See you in Singapore 🚀

Looking forward to joining the @Lemniscap Portfolio Day in Singapore! I’ll also be at Token2049 - would love to meet with anyone interested in Bitcoin DeFi, liquid staking, or the future of yield-bearing assets. DM me if you’d like to connect! ⚡️
