Welcome to the Libre blockchain - an L2 / sidechain for scaling Bitcoin (and Tether).
What is Libre?
Libre is Freedom. Libre is a new L2 blockchain to build the applications of the new financial system on a truly peer-to-peer system. Libre makes Bitcoin more interoperable, fast, secure, scalable, and easy-to-use. No Tolls or Fees. No gatekeepers. Libre founders were inspired by the original promise of the Bitcoin whitepaper - electronic cash that works anywhere in the world.
Libre is completely Decentralized, Fairly Launched, and the Eco-Friendliest Blockchain with the lowest energy usage per daily transaction max.
Libre was conceived and launched in El Salvador in 2021.

Libre Philosophy
‘The technical aspects of the automobile seemed daunting at first compared with the horse, yet its superior reliability and speed have made the technical knowledge needed to operate a fair price to pay for most people.’
Libre has been built with the aim of seemingly riding the horse, with the function and speed built-in for maximum usability and easy adoption.
