    Lit Protocol

    Lit Protocol is a decentralized key management network securing $350M+ in assets across multiple chains. We've launched a scoped delegation platform called Vincent enabling automated transactions cross-chain: EVM, Solana and native Bitcoin. Teams use Vincent to automate user transactions where the user still retains full control of the scope of the delegation to an app. This enables trustless automations: Cross-chain Portfolio Rebalancers, Automated Yield Farming agents, Meta-vault aggregators, Non-custodial Asset managements, Cross-chain Airdrop farming agents.
