📍In the BTC liquid staking race, where does @LorenzoProtocol stand?



📌Currently, the market has four groups of projects competing for the same capital: BTC is lying still in the holder's wallet.
- Babylon: Staking infrastructure layer for BTC, focused on technology.
- Bouncebit: A CeDeFi project, quickly increasing TVL but with high concentration risk.
- BTC L2 (Bitlayer, Botanix, Stroom...): move BTC to L2 for DeFi use, in exchange for bridge risks and complex experiences.
- Lorenzo: Use Bitcoin ( security through Babylon) to create a liquid staking token that can be used directly in DeFi.

Lorenzo does not compete directly, but stands at the exact intersection point between the other three groups.

📌With Babylon, Lorenzo is like Lido on Bitcoin Eco: Babylon provides a security mechanism, while Lorenzo turns that mechanism into an easy-to-use yield product for the masses. Babylon is strong in technology, but it is not the place where end users directly use assets. Lorenzo is the gateway for BTC to flow into DeFi.

📌With Bouncebit, the difference lies in the philosophy: Bouncebit prioritizes speed and TVL, accepting the use of CeFi to pump yields. Lorenzo, on the other hand, is 100% on-chain, with security as the top priority. Bouncebit is attractive for short-term capital; Lorenzo is more suitable for BTC holders - a group obsessed with concentrated risk and extremely conservative.

📌With BTC L2, Lorenzo has the biggest advantage: it does not force users to leave Bitcoin L1. BTC holders hate bridges, hate complex smart contracts, and even more hate sending dozens of BTC to a newly born L2. Lorenzo only requires staking BTC → receiving liquid tokens → using them in DeFi. Simple, safe, and does not touch the risk layer that BTC holders always avoid.

📌Overall, the positioning of #LorenzoProtocol is quite clear:
- Safer than Bouncebit.
- More accessible than Babylon.
- Less risky than BTC L2.

Lido once exploded by correctly定位 the "gap" that ETH was missing. Lorenzo is facing a similar opportunity in $BTC Eco.
