Babylon
Trustless Infrastructure for Native Bitcoin Collateral
Babylon is a Bitcoin staking protocol that allows BTC holders to stake their bitcoin directly—without wrapping, pegging, or bridging—to secure decentralized proof-of-stake networks and earn rewards. Users maintain self-custody throughout the process, and networks can leverage Bitcoin's security to reduce reliance on their native token inflation. The protocol connects Bitcoin holders with Bitcoin Supercharged Networks (BSNs) through a global network of finality providers.
Bitcoin holders lock their BTC in a self-custodial, trustless manner to provide economic security to participating proof-of-stake networks, earning staking rewards in return without wrapping or bridging their assets.
