雅各布·菲利普斯（Jacob Phillips

雅各布·菲利普斯（Jacob Phillips）開始進入加密貨幣，對金融和技術產生興趣，使他在2018年繁榮時期在克利夫蘭獲得了加密基金會。這種經驗加深了他對區塊鏈的理解及其長期的潛力，因為主要機構和風險投資人進入了該空間。

In the heart of Cleveland, Ohio, during the 2018 crypto boom, Jacob Phillips found himself drawn to the intersection of finance and technology, leading him to a crypto fund. This experience immersed him in the world of blockchain, sparking an interest in its potential as major institutions and VCs began entering the scene. This interest eventually led him to Polychain, where he had the opportunity to work with some of the best investors in crypto to evaluate projects and navigate the explosive growth of DeFi.

在俄亥俄州克利夫蘭市的中心，在2018年加密貨幣繁榮期間，雅各布·菲利普斯（Jacob Phillips）發現自己被金融和技術的交叉所吸引，使他獲得了加密基金會。這種經歷使他沉浸在區塊鏈世界中，隨著主要機構和風險投資開始進入現場的潛力引發了人們的興趣。這種興趣最終使他進入了Polychain，在那裡他有機會與加密貨幣中一些最好的投資者合作評估項目並導航Defi的爆炸性增長。

Having a hand in investments like BadgerDAO, which aimed to bring Bitcoin into decentralized finance, he realized there were structural limitations that needed to be addressed. This insight, in part, led him to co-found Lombard in 2024, where they focused on Bitcoin liquidity and staking solutions. While Ethereum and Solana rapidly iterated on DeFi, Bitcoin lacked a strong developer ecosystem—but Jacob saw this changing with new projects like Babylon and EigenLayer.

他掌握了旨在將比特幣帶入分散財務的投資，他意識到需要解決結構性限制。這種見解部分導致他於2024年與他人共同創立的倫巴第（Lombard），他們專注於比特幣流動性和飼養解決方案。儘管以太坊和Solana在DEFI上迅速迭代，但比特幣缺乏強大的開發人員生態系統，但是雅各布看到了這種新項目的變化，例如巴比倫和埃吉恩萊勒。

In this Blockcast episode, Jacob discusses how Lombard's core mission is to enable secure, permissionless Bitcoin staking and liquidity through its liquid staking token, LBTC. He also touches upon the challenge of trustless Bitcoin DeFi and the importance of balancing decentralization with institutional security.

在此障礙物中，雅各布討論了倫巴第（Lombard）的核心使命是如何通過其液體固定令牌LBTC來實現安全，無許可的比特幣佔有和流動性。他還談到了無信任的比特幣Defi的挑戰，以及平衡權力下放與機構安全的重要性。

Lombard began by onboarding DeFi-native users before expanding to institutional players, ensuring credibility and capital strength.

倫巴第（Lombard）首先在向機構參與者擴展之前，開始登上偏見的用戶，以確保信譽和資本實力。
