Faster, Cheaper, and Built for the Agent Era Lit Protocol is launching a new signing, encryption, and immutable compute network called Chipotle — a ground-up rebuild of how Lit Actions work, designed to be radically simpler, significantly cheaper, and natively accessible to AI agents and HTTP-native workflows. Chipotle builds on the

After five years of building decentralized key management infrastructure, we've reached a major milestone: Lit V1 (Naga) is live and Lit V0 (Datil) will be shut down on February 25, 2026. This post covers what's changing, why we're making this transition, and how to

We’re thrilled to announce that the much awaited Lit v1 mainnet, the Naga network, is now live embarking on a critical step to the Lit network’s self-sustainability. Overview The Distributed Key Generation (DKG) was performed on 17 Dec, 2025 with 7 node operators selected by the month-long Stake

Over the past few months, more than 7,000 Vincent Agent Wallets were created by users exploring a new kind of non-custodial, policy governed DeFi automation. Vincent gives users programmable, cross-chain wallets secured by Lit Protocol’s decentralized key management network, enabling apps like Vincent Yield to automate on-chain activity

Lit Protocol has completed our staking contest, and we're hard at work getting the Naga v1 Mainnet up right now. In the meantime, you can get started building on our Naga testnets or on our Datil Mainnet. We have a lot of exciting improvements and launches coming up,

The Lit Protocol Staking contest results are in! The community has selected the 8 node operators that are going to run the v1 Naga Mainnet. Even though the contest is over, you can always stake your tokens for rewards via the Lit Staking Dashboard and help secure the Lit Protocol

Over the past five years, Lit has grown into one of the most widely adopted cryptographic coordination networks, securing hundreds of millions in on-chain assets and powering automation and privacy for applications across Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, Cosmos, and beyond. We are now entering the final stage of transitioning the network

嗨，加密朋友， 我是 David，Lit Protocol 的联合创始人。过去五年，我们的顶尖密码学家和计算机科学家团队筹集了近 2000 万美元，一直在打造一种全新的网络 —— 一个可编程的去中心化密钥管理网络。 这不是还停留在白皮书上的概念。v0 主网已经在管理接近 1 亿美元的资产，每月增长率高达 45%。 现在，随着 $LITKEY 网络代币的上线，我们正式进入下一阶段 —— 启动 v1 网络，并通过 veLITKEY 模型，让网络费用直接回流给代币持有者。 目前，已有上百个项目正在使用 Lit，让加密世界变得更自动化、更隐私、更互通。 这是应用密码学的重要里程碑： 从软件诞生以来，密钥管理一直是最难解决的问题。 而 Lit Protocol 让密钥实现去中心化与可编程化，让用户真正掌控自己的数据、资产与 AI 智能体。 🎧 聆听基于

The Lit Protocol Airdrop Eligibility Check is now live. You can visit the staking portal today to verify your eligibility ahead of the claim window opening on October 30 at 00:00 UTC, the same time as the $LITKEY Token Generation Event (TGE). When claiming opens, staking will go live

Lit Protocol is a foundational decentralized network for signing and encryption that’s powered by threshold cryptography, secure hardware, and blockchain technology. Lit Protocol v0 is currently securing more than $422M in assets under decentralized management (AUDM) and has signing requests growing at a rate of 45% / month. This traction

Another open source app joins the Vincent ecosystem, build for the community supporting the Lit Protocol token launch. Start making non-custodial, automated swaps → Aerodrome DCA A Quick Refresher on Vincent Vincent is an open source automation platform secured by Lit Protocol. It allows developers to build powerful automations that can

The Lit Association is delighted to be launching the network token for Lit Protocol, LITKEY. The LITKEY token launch is taking place on Aerodrome on Base on October 30th 00:00 UTC, followed by coordinated CEX listings on November 6th. See the announcement post to learn more about how to

After five years of building Lit Protocol, the network now supports hundreds of ecosystem teams, manages over $420M in assets with signing requests growing by 45% month over month. In preparing to launch Lit V1 and $LITKEY, we went back to first principles to design a transparent and mission aligned

As Lit Protocol approaches its Token Generation Event (TGE) and the transition to V1 mainnet, one foundational element must be established first: a transparent and accountable governance system that represents those building, securing, and participating in the network. Today, we are formally introducing the Lit Association, a non-profit Swiss Association

Lit Protocol has closed a pre-TGE funding round with RRE, a new investor, and follow-on support from Collab+Currency, Sferimon, Protocol Labs, and Village Global. With Lit Protocol’s V0 traction ahead of TGE, which includes >$415m AUM, the pre-TGE funding sets the network up for a powerful token

The Naga Testnet is now live.

From Manual Signing to Autonomous Actions In crypto, everything used to stop at the signature. Every rebalance, yield claim, and trade required a human in the loop — someone to wake up, click “Confirm,” and hope they didn’t miss a block. That era is over. With delegated signing and scoped

Use the Vincent starter kit to build your first Vincent app in under 20 minutes.

A Quick Refresher on Vincent Vincent is a secure transaction delegation framework secured by Lit Protocol. Vincent was designed to facilitate secure interactions between users and AI agents or onchain vaults, facilitating secure automation while not forcing users to give up control of their assets and data.  To learn more

In crypto infrastructure, one instinct has captured most of the funding and talent, the push to encode everything on-chain and reduce identity, and automation to proofs, circuits, and contracts. Many big projects of the last cycle, flow from this instinct. But programmability isn’t the same as progress. The alternative,

The Naga Testnet and v8 SDK are now live. Check out the post to learn how you can dive in today.
