{"id":"lnfi-network","title":"Lnfi Network","content":"**Lnfi Network** is a financial infrastructure layer designed to enable multi-asset decentralized finance (DeFi) on the [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network). It aims to expand the utility of [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) by supporting the full lifecycle of tokenized assets, including issuance, fundraising, trading, and yield generation, leveraging technologies such as Taproot Assets and the RGB Protocol  [[1]](#cite-id-jQRzbsI7gh).\n\n## Overview\n\nLnfi Network provides an all-in-one financial layer that integrates with [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin)'s Taproot and RGB assets, aiming to unlock DeFi capabilities on the [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network). The platform facilitates various financial activities beyond traditional [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) payments, which are typically limited by the expressivity of [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) Scripts. By building on open standards where [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin), [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network), and Nostr converge, Lnfi seeks to power new network economies and applications . The project was soft-launched in October 2023, initially known as NostrAssets, and has since evolved to focus on reconstructing DeFi on the [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network) [[2]](#cite-id-woBxLpglpZ).\n\n## History and Milestones\n\nLnfi Network began its journey with a soft launch in October 2023 under the name NostrAssets. A significant milestone was the closure of a pre-seed funding round in November 2024, backed by several prominent investors in the [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) ecosystem, including HashKey Capital, UTXO Management, CMS Holdings, Waterdrip Capital, and Wolf’s Clothing. This funding was aimed at developing the infrastructure for DeFi on the [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network), particularly focusing on Taproot Assets [[3]](#cite-id-2jkuQOB6i5).\n\nIn June 2025, Lnfi Network completed a full integration of the RGB Protocol, which is an off-chain smart contract platform designed to bring scalable, programmable assets to [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin). This integration enabled Lnfi to introduce asset issuance and high-performance trading for RGB20 tokens, with PepeRGB ($PPRGB) being one of the first such assets [[4]](#cite-id-Clt6GF1DAV) [[5]](#cite-id-pA38JbtpLp).\n\nThe platform's native protocol token, $LN, is scheduled to debut on [Binance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance) Alpha on July 25, 2025, with an airdrop planned for eligible users [[6]](#cite-id-fnODFlkQmz) [[7]](#cite-id-p9I5DLg5gG). Prior to the $LN token, Lnfi Network supported $TREAT and $TRICK, which were part of an earlier experiment and are now evolving into the $LN token [[8]](#cite-id-qEjKwn5Awv).\n\n## Technology\n\nLnfi Network's core technology stack is built upon the convergence of [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin), the [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network), and Nostr, aiming to provide a robust and extensible financial layer. This integration allows for the creation and management of multi-asset DeFi applications on [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin).\n\n### Core Components\n- **Bitcoin:** The foundational blockchain providing security and decentralization.\n- **Lightning Network:** A Layer-2 scaling solution for [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin), enabling fast, low-cost transactions. Lnfi leverages the [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network) for global instant settlement, aiming for over 1,000,000 transactions per second (TPS) with zero network fees .\n- **Nostr:** A decentralized social networking protocol that contributes to the open standards powering Lnfi's network economies.\n- **Taproot Assets:** A protocol that allows for the issuance of assets on the [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) blockchain, enhancing its capabilities beyond just [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) transactions.\n- **RGB Protocol:** An off-chain smart contract system that brings scalable and programmable assets to [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin). Lnfi's full integration of RGB enables the development of complex applications unrestricted by traditional blockchain constraints, allowing for full expressivity in application development  [[5]](#cite-id-Clt6GF1DAV).\n\n### Infrastructure\n\nLnfi provides infrastructure for users to set up and manage Lightning nodes, earn yield on [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) liquidity, and access various applications on the [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network). It also offers developer resources to build decentralized applications (dApps) on its platform, emphasizing simplicity and extensibility .\n\n## Use Cases\n\nLnfi Network aims to expand the utility of the [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) and Lightning Network ecosystems by enabling a variety of financial use cases:\n- **Tokenization and Financialization:** Users can issue, launch, and trade new tokens on the [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network). This includes the full lifecycle management of assets, from initial issuance campaigns to listing on exchanges .\n- **DeFi on Lightning (LightningFi):** Lnfi facilitates decentralized finance activities directly on the [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network). This includes trading, earning yield, and managing [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin), Taproot Assets, and RGB assets. User activity on the platform is designed to amplify network effects on the [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network) .\n- **Application Development:** By providing full expressivity for application development, Lnfi allows developers to build a wide range of applications that are not limited by the inherent constraints of [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) Scripts. This opens up possibilities for more complex and diverse dApps on the [Lightning Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lightning-network) .\n- **Yield Generation:** Users can earn yield by managing their Lightning nodes and providing [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) liquidity. The platform also supports \"Channel [Mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining)\" and \"PayFi [Mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining)\" as mechanisms for earning rewards .\n- **Initial Lightning Offerings (ILOs):** Lnfi introduced the LN Starter Launchpad as an open token distribution platform for Lightning-native assets, facilitating Initial Lightning Offerings (ILOs) for new projects [[9]](#cite-id-dUE75vhKl7).\n\n## Tokenomics\n\nThe native protocol token of Lnfi Network is $LN. The total supply of $LN is capped at 1 billion tokens, with a maximum supply also set at 1 billion. As of July 24, 2025, the circulating supply is approximately 124.5 million LN, representing 12.45% of the total supply [[10]](#cite-id-cnVXbGw8K2).\n\nThe token distribution and unlock schedule are structured across various allocations:\n- **Ecosystem Incentives:** A significant portion, 34.21%, is allocated for ecosystem incentives, with additional smaller allocations for ecosystem incentives (3.85%, 1.85%, 1.85%).\n- **Team/Advisors/Contractors:** 22.00% is reserved for the team, advisors, and contractors.\n- **Private Sale Investor:** 5.75% is allocated to private sale investors.\n- **Treasury:** 6.00% is designated for the project's treasury.\n- **Liquidity Provisioning:** 3.12% is set aside for liquidity provisioning [[11]](#cite-id-cnVXbGw8K2).\n\nThe unlock schedule for $LN tokens includes periodic releases. For instance, on July 25, 2025, 118.25 million LN (11.82% of max supply) are scheduled to unlock across two allocations. Subsequent unlocks are planned monthly, with varying amounts released to different allocations through 2025 and into 2026 [[11]](#cite-id-cnVXbGw8K2).\n\n## Roadmap\n\nLnfi Network has outlined a roadmap with key developments planned through 2025:\n\n### 2024\n- **Q1-Q4:**\n   - Taproot Assets Management\n   - LN [Node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) v1\n   - LN Link v1\n   - Channel [Mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining)\n   - Points System\n   - LN Exchange v1\n   - LN Starter v1 \n\n### 2025\n- **Q1:**\n   - Support of Taproot Assets Deposits & Withdrawal\n   - LN Exchange v2\n   - LN Issue\n   - Flash Account\n   - LN [Node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) V2 \n- **Q2:**\n   - LN [Node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) v3\n   - LN Starter v2\n   - Channel [Mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining)\n   - PayFi [Mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining) \n- **Q3/Q4:**\n   - LN Exchange v3\n   - LN [Node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) v3\n   - PayFi SDK \n\n## Partnerships\n\nLnfi Network has established various partnerships to enhance its ecosystem and expand its capabilities:\n\n### Integration Partners\n- RGB \n- Iris Wallet: A collaboration to build a unified [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) future, enabling seamless interaction with RGB assets [[11]](#cite-id-E9XpLVZjMl).\n- Bitmask: Partnership to enable direct transfers and self-custody of RGB assets between platforms .\n- Kaleidoswap: A strategic collaboration to enhance the RGB ecosystem, focusing on RGB asset trading .\n- ThunderStack: Partnership to integrate native RGB support into LN [Node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node), facilitating RGB smart contract deployment over Lightning .\n\n### Channel Partners\n\n<br>","summary":"Lnfi Network is a financial layer for Taproot + RGB assets on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, enabling multi-asset DeFi.
