About the Compare Lenders tool

Compare Lenders puts your Bitcoin loan side by side with every major lender. Enter your collateral, loan size, and current lender, and it shows your interest savings with Lygos, the terms head-to-head (rate, LTV thresholds, custody, rehypothecation), and the buried costs — fees, how interest is really charged, and counterparty risk.

It ranks the whole market by true annual cost and models custodial-failure risk with a transparent framework. Free, runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Look beyond the headline APR: factor in origination fees, whether interest compounds, the liquidation LTV (how much room before you're sold out), and the custody model (can the lender lend out or lose your coins). This tool puts your lender and Lygos side by side on all of these, using your own numbers.

The headline APR can hide the real cost. Some lenders compound daily and capitalize it into your balance (so a 13.9% stated rate becomes ~14.9% effective), others add monthly servicing fees, and some require staking their token to get the low rate. This tool shows how your current lender actually charges versus Lygos' simple monthly interest on principal.

The risk that the lender itself fails or misuses your collateral — as Celsius and BlockFi did by rehypothecating customer Bitcoin. Non-custodial lenders like Lygos lock collateral in an on-chain DLC that can't be rehypothecated, removing that risk. The tool estimates the expected cost of this risk.

Yes — free, no account, and it runs in your browser using publicly available lender terms.

Borrow against your BTC collateral to obtain cash while maintaining full long-term exposure. Because you are borrowing—rather than disposing of—your assets, this structure allows for liquidity access without the tax consequences commonly associated with a sale. Your collateral remains native BTC and is held in isolation: not commingled, not swapped, and never converted to a wrapped asset.

Risk Warning: Borrowing against cryptocurrency involves significant risks, including but not limited to liquidation risk, market volatility, and potential loss of collateral. Please review all terms and conditions carefully before participating.

Regulatory Notice: Services may not be available in all jurisdictions. Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations. Lygos does not provide services to residents of certain restricted jurisdictions.
