Lnfi Network
Lnfi Network
Lnfi Network is a financial infrastructure layer designed to enable multi-asset decentralized finance (DeFi) on the Bitcoin Lightning Network. It aims to expand the utility of 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] [2].
Overview
Lnfi Network provides an all-in-one financial layer that integrates with Bitcoin's Taproot and RGB assets, aiming to unlock DeFi capabilities on the Lightning Network. The platform facilitates various financial activities beyond traditional Bitcoin payments, which are typically limited by the expressivity of Bitcoin Scripts. By building on open standards where Bitcoin, Lightning Network, and Nostr converge, Lnfi seeks to power new network economies and applications [1]. The project was soft-launched in October 2023, initially known as NostrAssets, and has since evolved to focus on reconstructing DeFi on the Bitcoin Lightning Network [3].
History and Milestones
Lnfi 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 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 Lightning Network, particularly focusing on Taproot Assets [4].
In 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. 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 [5] [6].
The platform's native protocol token, $LN, is scheduled to debut on Binance Alpha on July 25, 2025, with an airdrop planned for eligible users [7] [8]. 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 [9].
Technology
Lnfi Network's core technology stack is built upon the convergence of Bitcoin, the 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.
Core Components
- Bitcoin: The foundational blockchain providing security and decentralization.
- Lightning Network: A Layer-2 scaling solution for Bitcoin, enabling fast, low-cost transactions. Lnfi leverages the Lightning Network for global instant settlement, aiming for over 1,000,000 transactions per second (TPS) with zero network fees [1].
- Nostr: A decentralized social networking protocol that contributes to the open standards powering Lnfi's network economies.
- Taproot Assets: A protocol that allows for the issuance of assets on the Bitcoin blockchain, enhancing its capabilities beyond just Bitcoin transactions.
- RGB Protocol: An off-chain smart contract system that brings scalable and programmable assets to 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 [1] [5].
Infrastructure
Lnfi provides infrastructure for users to set up and manage Lightning nodes, earn yield on Bitcoin liquidity, and access various applications on the Lightning Network. It also offers developer resources to build decentralized applications (dApps) on its platform, emphasizing simplicity and extensibility [1].
Use Cases
Lnfi Network aims to expand the utility of the Bitcoin and Lightning Network ecosystems by enabling a variety of financial use cases:
- Tokenization and Financialization: Users can issue, launch, and trade new tokens on the Lightning Network. This includes the full lifecycle management of assets, from initial issuance campaigns to listing on exchanges [1].
- DeFi on Lightning (LightningFi): Lnfi facilitates decentralized finance activities directly on the Lightning Network. This includes trading, earning yield, and managing Bitcoin, Taproot Assets, and RGB assets. User activity on the platform is designed to amplify network effects on the Lightning Network [1].
- 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 Scripts. This opens up possibilities for more complex and diverse dApps on the Lightning Network [1].
- Yield Generation: Users can earn yield by managing their Lightning nodes and providing Bitcoin liquidity. The platform also supports "Channel Mining" and "PayFi Mining" as mechanisms for earning rewards [1].
- 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 [10].
Tokenomics
The 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 [11].
The token distribution and unlock schedule are structured across various allocations:
- 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%).
- Team/Advisors/Contractors: 22.00% is reserved for the team, advisors, and contractors.
- Private Sale Investor: 5.75% is allocated to private sale investors.
- Treasury: 6.00% is designated for the project's treasury.
- Liquidity Provisioning: 3.12% is set aside for liquidity provisioning [11].
The 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].
