LAVA Protocol

LAVA Protocol is a liquidity protocol for BRC-20 assets and EVM chains, focused on the difficulty of moving Bitcoin-ecosystem assets into smart-contract environments. A Multi-Bit engine plus a relay-node network watches for asset locks on Bitcoin and mints corresponding claims on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon and elsewhere, enabling two-way exchange.

Security rests on economic constraints: relay nodes post collateral that is slashed on misbehaviour, and cross-chain state is confirmed after multi-node validation. The stack also integrates Chainlink price feeds and verifiable randomness along with The Graph indexing to supply data for pricing and onchain draws. On top of this sit an AMM, a launchpad, an NFT marketplace and collateralised lending, widening BRC-20 assets from mere inscription holdings into tradable, borrowable instruments and giving Bitcoin-side liquidity a route into DeFi.
