Babylon solves two major problems in crypto: Bitcoin’s vast capital is mostly idle because it can’t natively participate in DeFi or staking, while altcoin networks are innovative but lack Bitcoin’s security and liquidity.
Babylon bridges this gap by introducing a trustless Bitcoin staking protocol, allowing BTC holders to stake their coins directly (without wrapping or bridges) to secure other blockchains (BSNs) and earn multiple reward streams, all while maintaining full custody.
Babylon’s architecture has three layers:
1. Staking Layer: Enables secure, multi-network Bitcoin staking and reward generation.
2. Liquidity Layer: Will introduce a trustless synthetic Bitcoin, making BTC liquid and usable across DeFi.
3. Execution Layer: Babylon Genesis, a blockchain supporting both CosmWasm and EVM, acts as the central hub for BTCFi apps and interoperability.
By combining these, Babylon transforms Bitcoin into a productive, composable asset at the heart of a new decentralized finance ecosystem, unlocking its full earning and utility potential for the entire crypto economy.
What if your BTC could finally earn rewards without leaving the comfort of your wallet?
And what if you could stack multiple reward streams just by staking BTC (or $BABY)?
That world is coming fast. It’s called BTCFi, and Babylon Genesis is building it.
(and psst… you’re REALLY going to want to check tweet 7 👀).
