Babylon is a decentralized protocol that enables Bitcoin holders to stake their BTC directly on the Bitcoin blockchain without intermediaries. This self-custodial staking allows users to help secure decentralized networks, such as Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chains and Layer 2 solutions, while earning rewards—all without the need for wrapping, pegging, or bridging assets to other networks. By leveraging Bitcoin's robust security and liquidity, Babylon aims to enhance the economic security of these networks and provide BTC holders with new opportunities to participate in the broader decentralized ecosystem.
