雅各布·菲利普斯（Jacob Phillips

雅各布·菲利普斯（Jacob Phillips）开始进入加密货币，对金融和技术产生兴趣，使他在2018年繁荣时期在克利夫兰获得了加密基金会。这种经验加深了他对区块链的理解及其长期的潜力，因为主要机构和风险投资人进入了该空间。

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.

在俄亥俄州克利夫兰市的中心，在2018年加密货币繁荣期间，雅各布·菲利普斯（Jacob Phillips）发现自己被金融和技术的交叉所吸引，使他获得了加密基金会。这种经历使他沉浸在区块链世界中，随着主要机构和风险投资开始进入现场的潜力引发了人们的兴趣。这种兴趣最终使他进入了Polychain，在那里他有机会与加密货币中一些最好的投资者合作评估项目并导航Defi的爆炸性增长。

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.

他掌握了旨在将比特币带入分散财务的投资，他意识到需要解决结构性限制。这种见解部分导致他于2024年与他人共同创立的伦巴第（Lombard），他们专注于比特币流动性和饲养解决方案。尽管以太坊和Solana在DEFI上迅速迭代，但比特币缺乏强大的开发人员生态系统，但是雅各布看到了这种新项目的变化，例如巴比伦和埃吉恩莱勒。

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.

在此障碍剧集中，雅各布讨论了伦巴第（Lombard）的核心使命是如何通过其液体固定令牌LBTC来实现安全，无许可的比特币占有和流动性。他还谈到了无信任的比特币Defi的挑战，以及平衡权力下放与机构安全的重要性。

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

伦巴第（Lombard）首先在向机构参与者扩展之前，开始登上偏见的用户，以确保信誉和资本实力。
