The Problem
Bitcoin is the most secure and liquid asset in crypto but generates no yield. PoS chains struggle to bootstrap sufficient economic security without diluting their native token.
The Solution
Babylon creates a marketplace for Bitcoin security: BTC holders stake natively to earn yield, while PoS chains gain Bitcoin-grade economic security without additional token inflation.
Why it Matters
First trustless, non-custodial, and slashable Bitcoin staking protocol. No bridges, no wrapping — Bitcoin stays on Bitcoin. Now expanding into Trustless Bitcoin Vaults for native BTC in DeFi.
