Who is helping Lombard run BTC Staking behind the scenes? Lombard doesn't have its own nodes; instead, it has brought in some of the industry's most knowledgeable players in staking for finality confirmation, using the highest industry standards to run Bitcoin staking. Currently, there are four: ※ Figment: An old acquaintance in ETH PoS, has done over 700 institutional stakes. ※ Galaxy: Manages $4.2B in assets, providing a full range of staking, collateral, and liquidity services. ※ Kiln: Assists major institutions like VanEck and Fireblocks with staking, handling 4.8% of the entire ETH network. ※ [Chain], with over $5B in staking, a veteran in PoS. These companies work together to maintain the Babylon Genesis chain and the subsequent PoS networks (such as TAC, BOB, Corn, etc.). ▰▰▰▰▰ Why is this important? Simply put, with these Finality Providers: ※ Users can stake without complications; it's still a one-click operation. ※ The backend execution structure is more stable, not a single point but a multi-party consensus and redundancy. ※ The risk of issues is lower, as each has independent facilities and security protections. ※ In the future, more validation nodes can be added; the system is open and scalable. This is a typical correct posture for Web3! Handing over the key execution layer to truly capable third parties while retaining protocol control—this is Lombard!
