The most important question you can ask when taking out a bitcoin-backed loan is "what happens to my collateral?"
With Lava, you get cryptographic proof that your funds are secure, in your self-custody, and cannot be rehypothecated.
Easily verifiable from within our app.

We created a better solution: bitcoin-backed loans that don’t require you to give up self-custody. You get cryptographic proof, not just legal or reputational assurances, that your collateral is safe.
We’ve got some big announcements happening this week at Bitcoin 2025. See you all there! https://blossom.primal.net/c031821deb35d114d58b2ef51299da1157bbacd9b36f36a975cd8ae70b17e282.mov

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 http://lava.xyz to learn more!
We’re excited to be here on Nostr!
