The Problem
Native Babylon BTC staking has a multi-day unbonding period and requires direct BTC-chain interaction; most DeFi users hold wrapped BTC on EVM chains and want a one-click way to earn Babylon yield while keeping their position liquid.
The Solution
PumpBTC takes user wrapped BTC, routes it through MPC custodians into Babylon staking, and mints a 1:1 receipt token (pumpBTC) on 15+ EVM chains — instantly transferable, composable in Pendle/lending/DEXs, and tracked by a public transparency dashboard.
Why it Matters
Broad multi-chain footprint and an aggressive points/incentives program (PumpFellow loyalty, 10x Berachain boost, 4x Pendle YT boost) push pumpBTC into a wider set of DeFi venues than rival Babylon LSTs. Trade-off: custodial architecture and a low-threshold 2/3 multisig admin chain mean the trust model is closer to WBTC than to Babylon itself.
