Happy to announce that tomorrow, May 9th, I am taking part in Colosseum's Frontier Hackathon with my https://t.co/RcmJf1oD22 project, build together with @StroomNetwork team (@rostique, @ablazetw)
Hey everyone!
You may have noticed we've been closing our Lightning channels.
Over the last month, routing yields have dropped significantly, and many liquidity providers have been exiting the network. We're closing channels to serve withdrawals.
In parallel, we're exploring how we can best contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem going forward. More details coming soon.
Thanks for your continued support 🙏

$1 billion/month on Lightning. The payment rails are live.
Stroom exists to make sure the capital behind them is just as efficient. Stake BTC → earn yield → keep Lightning liquid. 🧡⚡

The future of native BTC yield has arrived - and it’s called strBTC, a liquid Bitcoin staking token.

⚡️ 200,000+ TRANSACTIONS ROUTED ⚡️
Better late to share than never, but Stroom hit a massive milestone last week! Over 200K transactions and we're just getting started 🚀
How fast can we reach 500k? 👀
Many Bitcoin bridges lock $BTC in custody and ask users to trust the operators. @StroomNetwork's design deploys it instead. The architecture channels Lightning routing for fees, incorporates Babylon staking, and is designed to scale with Bitcoin L2s as they mature. strBTC grows in your wallet daily without leaving Bitcoin.
Validators use FROST threshold signatures to jointly control the multisig vault - no single operator can move funds unilaterally. For Phase 2, validators will collateralize with external assets through @symbioticfi and @eigenlabs, creating economic accountability through slashing.
Right now the bridge runs Phase 0 (soft launch August 2025, $26.4M TVL) with $wBTC deposits converted to $strBTC. The native BTC bridge and full restaking security are still being deployed. But Lightning routing - the primary yield source - already operates with routing fees generated on-chain.
We think the design choice is interesting. Rather than building one monolithic security model, they're layering in multiple yield sources. Lightning today provides immediate yield. @babylonlabs_io and L2 integrations will expand that as the rollout continues and partnerships mature. Each source adds redundancy and reduces reliance on any single mechanism.
The full analysis - DAO governance, how slashing actually works, why FROST threshold signatures solve the custody problem - lives on Medium 👇🏻
