What is PSBT?

A standard format allowing multiple parties to collaboratively sign a single Bitcoin transaction. Lygos Finance leverages PSBTs seamlessly during the loan origination process, allowing borrowers to safely construct and sign their non-custodial DLC using their offline hardware wallets.

Full Definition

PSBTs enable users to construct a transaction and pass it around to different devices or entities for authorization before broadcasting it to the network. This is incredibly useful for multisig wallets, hardware wallet setups, and complex smart contracts where various conditional signatures are required to finalize an agreement.
