@lava_xyz , we just built an open-source oracle implementation for bitcoin that makes bitcoin apps more robust and trust-minimized. Many people don't realize this, but there are trust-minimized financial primitives that can be built with bitcoin. And @lava_xyz is building them.

Digital dollars were supposed to enable seamless, global payments, but so far, using them has been more cumbersome than using centralized finance. To solve this, we introduce Lava Free Pay, which enables free, instant, and global payments. Links below:

Did you know that Lava has testnet support? Use play money to try our products or send to friends interested in bitcoin. We’ve found that giving new users testnet money encourages them to self-custody real money too.

Lava is built to serve based bitcoiners. A based bitcoiner is someone who lives a bitcoin-based lifestyle. This means they: 1) Hold the majority of their net-worth in BTC 2) Get paid in/convert their paycheck to BTC

The FOSS oracle implementation we created helps anyone launch their own oracle, and thus it makes it significantly easier to add redundancy to the bitcoin oracle ecosystem and create robust applications that are trust-minimized.

@Sureshsinghn We do as much as possible on bitcoin. Loan collateral is stored on layer-one, in an invisible smart contract. Only thing we use another chain for is stablecoins. We believe people should use bitcoin in the most secure, trust-minimized way, and that is self-custody on layer-one.
