The @Liquid_BTC Network's bitcoin reserves are fully restored: 1:1 BTC backing for all LBTC, verifiable by anyone running a Liquid node.

[Liquid Network 🌊 @Liquid_BTC]

Update from the Liquid Federation:

The Liquid Federation is pleased to announce that the network’s bitcoin reserves have been fully restored, reestablishing 1:1 BTC backing for all LBTC.

This follows the restoration of BTC<>LBTC swaps several weeks ago, which have since allowed users to move between Bitcoin and Liquid at a 1:1 rate through participating swap providers. Together, these milestones represent significant progress in the Federation’s recovery efforts and reaffirm its commitment to the long-term security, stability and resilience of the Liquid Network.

As always, the network’s bitcoin reserves are independently verifiable. Users operating their own Liquid nodes can directly verify the Federation’s Proof of Reserves, while reserve balances and network activity can be monitored through the public dashboard at https://t.co/M46Zhn8nlY.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Bitcoin community, Liquid users, and ecosystem partners for their patience, understanding, and continued engagement throughout the recovery process. Your support and involvement has been instrumental as we worked to restore the network’s reserves and strengthen its underlying infrastructure.

Strengthening the Liquid Network for the Future

Looking ahead, the Federation is advancing several important initiatives designed to strengthen the network’s long-term security, governance, and operational resilience.

These efforts include modernizing the governance structure, introducing clearer responsibilities and oversight, and implementing additional technical and operational safeguards to further protect the network and its participants.

More details on these initiatives and the Federation’s next steps will be shared in the coming weeks.

Restoring full bitcoin backing marks an important milestone, but our work continues. The Federation remains committed to building on the progress of recent years, advancing Liquid’s development, and strengthening the network’s resilience and accessibility for all participants.

Bitcoin can add new signature schemes to stay ahead of quantum computing. @blksresearch is studying lattice-based signatures to help figure out what that upgrade should look like.
