My first reaction to hearing about "Bitcoin infrastructure" before was: boring, incomprehensible, and unrelated to me. BTC with me is like a locked cold wallet lying down, crossing chains, bridges, and other things that can be touched as little as possible - slow and dangerous, and always centralized. Whenever something goes wrong, the whole network will take advantage of it. It wasn't until listening to Jacob Phillips talk about Lombard at Chainlink's SmartCon that I realized how down-to-earth this thing could be: In the past, we used to cross chain BTC, like entrusting someone to deliver cash, relying entirely on trust; @LombarddFinance has rewritten this process—— Every BTC deposited has a verifiable 'proof of deposit', Then securely send it to another chain through Chainlink CCIP, and the other side will cast the corresponding asset for you. From 'chest pat guarantee' to 'leaving a trace throughout the entire process, anyone can check it'. For players like us on the chain, this means one thing: Bitcoin is no longer just lying there as an ancestral offering, but can safely flow between various chains, enter DeFi, serve as collateral, and earn profits, but the underlying flavor of "trust minimization" still exists. Many people are still speculating on a new concept or a new public chain, but now I am more concerned about redoing the project of 'how to safely move money'—— The day when Bitcoin really has an "Internet moment" is probably the day when infrastructure such as Lombard quietly builds roads.
