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.

Custody built for institutions, with keys protected even during signing.

Read the announcement: our enterprise custody solution, developed in collaboration with Thales.

Our CEO @adam3us on @CNBCOvertime: "going back to basics, cold storage, keep things off the internet."

Our new enterprise custody solution runs the entire Secure-MPC signing protocol inside Thales hardware security modules, so key material stays protected, even during signing.

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

That's a wrap on the Digital Assets Forum in New York.

Thank you to everyone who joined our workshops, to @adam3us for two sessions on the Blockstream Stage, and to @DAF_Global for hosting. 🇺🇸

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

A full room on the Blockstream Stage for Bitcoin's role in the future of finance.

Our CEO @adam3us with @JanvanEck3 and @danheld on why Bitcoin has wider uses than gold, its mathematical assurances in an uncertain world, and its four-year cycle.

Thanks, @DAF_Global. 🇺🇸

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

In an uncertain world, Bitcoin's mathematical assurances still matter.

Our CEO @adam3us on why: in the short term it may move with tech stocks, but over longer time frames it's relatively decorrelated.

With @JanvanEck3 and @danheld on the Blockstream Stage @DAF_Global. 🇺🇸

Go cold: air gaps, no internet connection and, for individuals, a hardware wallet with an offline backup.

Our CEO @adam3us on the lesson for custody, with @fintechfrank and Will Su of @BlackRock on the Blockstream Stage at @DAF_Global. 🇺🇸

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

You decide who sees what.

On Elements, confidential transactions hide the asset and amount by default. Share the unblinding key with your auditor or partner, and they can verify everything.

Igor Iochpa of Blockstream Enterprise, from our workshop at @DAF_Global. 🇺🇸

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

Confidentiality and visibility, on the same chain.

On Elements, transactions stay confidential while the sender, receiver and issuer can still view them.

@sagungarg of Blockstream Enterprise on why that matters for traditional markets. From our workshop at @DAF_Global. 🇺🇸

Can today's hardware wallets make post-quantum signatures?

@n1ckler of @blksresearch tested hash-based SHRINCS on devices including @BlockstreamJade: yes, in a few seconds to a minute and a half.

In principle, no new hardware needed. From our workshop at @DAF_Global. 🇺🇸

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

Bitcoin has wider uses than gold: it's electronic cash for the internet, it's programmable, it's easier to verify and it's simpler to move.
