​Builders Night is back in Ghent — this time with Liquidium.

​For this edition, we’re welcoming Bogdan, Blockchain Developer at Liquidium, for a talk and live demo on native Bitcoin lending and cross-chain DeFi.

We will explore how to unlock liquidity from your BTC without selling, wrapping, or trusting a centralized bridge — and how ICP infrastructure makes it possible.

​Whether you’re a founder, DeFi user, Bitcoin holder, researcher, developer, student, or simply curious about where blockchain infrastructure is heading, this evening is designed to be accessible, practical, and discussion-friendly.

​And since the weather is looking sunny, we’re planning another Outdoor BBQ. ☀️🍖

​Why this topic now?

​Bitcoin remains the largest digital asset, but much of its liquidity has historically stayed outside DeFi because using BTC across ecosystems often meant wrapping, bridging, or taking on extra trust assumptions.

​At the same time, cross-chain infrastructure is evolving quickly. This Builders Night is a chance to explore what is already possible, what still needs work, and what native cross-chain lending could unlock for Bitcoin, ICP, and DeFi more broadly.

​With Liquidium’s recent ICP support, this is also a timely moment to explore a real example live.

​No hype, no slogans. Just a practical demo, open questions, BBQ, and good conversations.
