    At Lava, we are building a self-custodial wallet enabling users to address all their financial needs with bitcoin as their SoV/money. We are creating a simple, yet holistic financial experience for bitcoin that includes:

    1. transactions that are as low-cost and private as possible
    2. enabling users to borrow USD against native-BTC without giving up custody
    3. letting users earn a risk-minimized yield on their BTC
    4. enabling users to swap BTC for other assets without giving up custody

    All current self-custodial wallets are either building complicated experiences for traders or building for a future where ETH is money. The BTC-focused wallets are only integrating custody/transactions. We believe in BTC as the best money, but we also believe that a fully integrated financial experience is necessary to drive adoption of BTC. That is what we are focused on building.
