How To Claim the $BARD Airdrop
According to the Binance announcement, Lombard will officially begin trading on the Binance Alpha trading platform on September 18. Shortly after Lombard is launched on the platform, a time for the $BARD airdrop will be announced.
Please follow official Binance handles across social media platforms to know the time when the airdrop campaign will begin, as all airdrop campaigns give priority to the early birds.
The eligibility requirement will also be revealed in the announcement. But, based on recent events, the Aleo airdrop required users to hold 170 Alpha Points, the Unibase Airdrop 200 APs, and the Mitosis Airdrop 220 APs.
If you meet this requirement, immediately Lombard appears on the Binance Alpha Event page, you need to apply for the $BARD airdrop. After application, a claim cost of 15 Alpha Points will be deducted from your account.
The airdrop will be completed in 24 hours, and the number of $BARD tokens allocated to each user will be deposited into their Alpha accounts. If Lombard meets a trading volume requirement on Alpha, $BARD will be launched on Binance Spot Futures shortly after.
About the Lombard Project
Lombard, or Lombard Finance, is an initiative to turn BTC into more than a store of value and make it a productive financial ecosystem by including a full decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Lombard aims at allowing Bitcoin users to access the liquidity of their assets without necessarily selling them by providing a service known as liquid restaking. Lombard Finance relies on its own native token, $LBTC, a liquid staked token pegged 1:1 to the real BTC.
Users of Lombard can receive $LBTC tokens by staking their Bitcoin with Lombard. These tokens are the staked Bitcoin but are liquid, in that they can be traded or offered as collateral or utilized on the DeFi platforms, and their holders continue to receive staking rewards.
This addresses a widespread issue that, with conventional Bitcoin staking, BTC tokens are tied up, preventing their utilization until they are unstaked. The role of $BARD is not the same as that of $LBTC, as it aids in securing the LBTC via staking.
Stakers who lock their $BARD tokens on the network are actively engaged in the protection of the protocol against attacks to ensure stable and decentralized operations.
Lombard is based on the Babylon chain ecosystem, which offers non-custodial and safe Bitcoin staking infrastructure. Thanks to this collaboration, Lombard is now one of the biggest Bitcoin liquid restaking protocols. Lombard crossed $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) in only 92 days.
This strategy has unlocked the full potential of Bitcoin as an on-chain capital asset and has positioned Lombard as one of the most interesting launches on Binance Alpha.
