Why Libre

Purpose-built for Bitcoin lending and DeFi

Libre delivers institutional-grade Bitcoin lending and trading with purpose-built infrastructure. The network pairs low-latency consensus with trust-minimized architecture, so you get deep liquidity and sophisticated DeFi primitives while inheriting Bitcoin security.

Fair price execution

Purpose-built architecture eliminates front-running and sandwich attacks. Your trades execute at fair market prices with predictable settlement.

Instant settlement

Sub-second block times and finality under two seconds enable responsive lending markets and high-frequency trading strategies.

Ultrafast USDT

Tether (USDT) moves instantly and fee-free on Libre. Bridge from Ethereum in minutes or swap BTC/USDT on-chain with the lowest fees in DeFi (0.1%).

Native Bitcoin custody

Crosslink TSS secure-sharding enables collaborative custody—your BTC never leaves the Bitcoin chain for lending. Fast Bitcoin provides wrapped liquidity for DEX trading.
