Hello, Nostr! Allow us to introduce ourselves.
At Lava, we’ve built the most secure way to borrow against your bitcoin.
No counterparties, no custodians, no bridges. Instead, we’ve built a fully on-chain lending protocol that leverages Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs), which are smart contracts that are native to Bitcoin.
Using Lava, you can take out a USD loan using your Bitcoin as collateral *without giving up self-custody*. It’s fast, secure, and we offer some of the best rates in the business.
You can check us out at 
to learn more!
We’re excited to be here on Nostr!
