# Welcome to LiquidSat

### **Unlock Capital Efficiency for Bitcoin.**

LiquidSat is a **native Bitcoin financing layer** that enables **self-custodial borrowing and lending** using Bitcoin as collateral — without bridges, wrapping, or custodial risk.

Bitcoin remains locked **directly on Bitcoin**, while loan execution and liquidity routing occur on supported EVM networks through verifiable proofs and deterministic enforcement.

Borrowing and lending is LiquidSat’s **first and foundational product**, designed to unlock native BTC liquidity securely and predictably.

> 💡 *Your keys. Your BTC. Your yield.*
