Babylon Protocol is the first Bitcoin staking solution, enabling BTC holders to earn yield by securing Proof-of-Stake blockchains without wrapping or bridging their Bitcoin. It uses Bitcoin's timestamping capability to create a cryptographic link between Bitcoin consensus and target PoS chains.
Bitcoin has been a non-earning asset since its inception—holders receive no yield for holding BTC. Babylon changes this by allowing BTC to back PoS security. When you stake BTC with Babylon, you commit to a specific PoS chain for a time period. If that chain experiences a slashing event, your BTC serves as economic backing. In return, you earn staking rewards.
This opens Bitcoin to the entire DeFi ecosystem while maintaining Bitcoin's security and decentralization. Over 180K BTC worth billions are already staked through Babylon.
Stake native BTC directly—no wrapping, bridging, or custody requirements. Full asset control.
Uses Bitcoin timestamping to cryptographically connect Bitcoin and target PoS chains.
Stake Bitcoin to secure Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos chains, and emerging PoS networks.
Choose staking duration and unbond anytime. Early unlock options available for premium.
BABY token holders govern protocol parameters and supported PoS chains.
Bitcoin staking strengthens PoS chain security without compromising Bitcoin consensus.
Use Babylon platform and connect your Bitcoin wallet (Unisat, OKX, Leather, etc.).
Choose which PoS network you want to secure (Ethereum, Cosmos, Babylon Chain, etc.).
Choose your staking duration (30 days, 90 days, 180 days, etc.) based on desired yield.
Confirm transaction on Bitcoin and start earning yield. Monitor stake and claim rewards regularly.
No. Babylon uses native Bitcoin staking — your BTC stays on the Bitcoin network. There is no wrapping or bridging required, which preserves Bitcoin's security guarantees.
BABY is Babylon's governance token. Holders vote on protocol parameters, supported PoS chains, and fee structures. BABY was launched alongside mainnet and is tradeable on major exchanges.
There is no hard minimum, but staking caps may apply during early phases. Check the Babylon platform for current limits and available capacity on your target chain.
Early unstaking incurs a premium fee depending on how much time remains in your commitment period. Longer remaining periods generally have higher early exit costs.
