Bitcoin DeFi just got louder.
On May 13, Liquidium passed governance proposal LIP-12 with full community support, triggering a major protocol shift that includes:
Welcome to the new Bitcoin-native DeFi frontier — complete with memecoins, liquid staking, and WTF energy.

With the rollout of staking, the team also rebranded to LiquidiumWTF — a nod to its “playful, experimental, Bitcoin-maxi” ethos.
“We turn complexity into clarity,” said CTO Peter Giammanco. “Bitcoin doesn’t need to stay boring.”
The project remains focused on Bitcoin-native DeFi — supporting Ordinals, memecoins, and peer-to-peer lending — but with a fresh, irreverent twist.
LiquidiumWTF also dropped a new referral rewards feature:
And there's more: a new platform, Liquidium.fi, will debut at Bitcoin 2025 with the tagline "Borrow Beyond Borders" — signaling a push into broader lending markets.

If the future of DeFi is composable and community-owned — Liquidium just made it liquid and WTF-worthy.
