# Stake L-BTC

[GEB HUB](https://gebhub.geb.network/) is a portal for interaction between the Lightning Network and the GEB network, enabling users to manage their BTC Lightning Network and GEB network assets, as well as their own Lightning Network nodes.

[LND DESK](https://github.com/btclayer2/LND-Desk/releases) is a lightweight client that makes it easy for users to run their own Lightning Network nodes.

{% hint style="info" %}
**The prerequisite for using GEB HUB is successfully running LND Desk and connecting the two.**
