Libre is designed with a usability-first approach to make it easy to build apps that are simple for end users. It solves the scaling issues of Bitcoin and Tether with a secure, decentralized protocol - Libre is freedom for your financial app infrastructure.
Bitcoin (BTC) is a savings account. Over 200 Million people worldwide use BTC. It's accepted in over 30,000 ATMs and on hundreds of exchanges. It works in every country.
Libre uses pegged bitcoin powered by decentralized p.network bridges, and makes it instantaneous and free to send. It also integrates seamlessly with the Lightning network, making it extremely easy to go from any Lightning wallet to Libre and back. Unrivaled compatibility.
Tether (USDT) is your digital cash or checking account. For payments, and as a stable store of value, Tether is the number one stablecoin in the world today.
Libre provides a simple, open, and trustless exchange between Bitcoin and Tether. Anyone can swap BTC / USDT for the internet's lowest fee (0.1%) - and if you provide liquidity - you will earn from the accumulation of trading fees on the AMM. Stake and unstake any time.
LIBRE stakers can create or vote on proposals in the DAO.
LIBRE is the native coin that enables the Libre Chain to function.
Network participants can stake LIBRE enact governance, receive them as mining rewards, and earn them for providing liquidity. Specifically, LIBRE serves three functions:
Governance - voting in Libre DAO to govern the AMM and chain protocol settings.
Validator Elections - each wallet can choose 1 validator, votes decay over time so as your staking period nears its end, your voting power will weaken.
Staking - staking LIBRE for governance pays a yield which is higher the earlier you stake and the longer you stake.

The initial liquidity pool will be on LIBRE in the swap.libre AMM contract and it will be LIBRE/BTC - 100% of the BTC raised in the mint rush will go to the AMM. This AMM liquidity pool is proportionately owned by accounts that provide liquidity. Those accounts can earn fees from trades, earn liquidity farming rewards, and vote on the swap fee rate for each pool.

LIBRE was distributed widely and fairly through the Mint Rush. The circulating supply of LIBRE can be found on the DeFi Dashboard. We took inspiration from the “fair launch” concept described by Hasu and Arjun Balaji in their Medium article. The DAO page of the dashboard has a leaderboard that shows which accounts have the most voting weight. A rich list is being added to the explorer that will include staked and liquid tokens.

LIBRE works with various wallets including Bitcoin Libre, Anchor, and cleos. You can take advantage of the full range of LIBRE features - including staking and ordinals on any of these non-custodial wallets.

LIBRE yields are based on 2 criteria - the days since launch that you stake, and the length of your stake. Therefore, the earlier you stake and the longer you stake, the higher your yield will be. Just like Bitcoin block rewards decline over time, the yield rate for stakes declines daily.

Libre validators earn 4 LIBRE per block they mine. This goes down to 2 LIBRE on Jan 4 2023, and then 1 LIBRE on July 5 2023. Blocks are mined every 0.5 second and each of the top 21 validators rotates in every ~2 minutes for 12 blocks. The value of 1 LIBRE will be known on Dec 15, 2022 at the end of the Mint Rush.
