Libera is a DeFi governance protocol that enables users and entities to establish decentralized crypto custodial institutions, freeing crypto assets from the control of centralized entities. Libera can be integrated with any ECDSA encrypted asset, as well as any CEX or DEX. Transactions, custody, and custodians are governed through blockchain governance. The speed of transactions is solely dependent on the external trading platforms integrated with the protocol. By staking to partake in custody governance, you become a validator yourself.
