New York, April 10, 2025 — Today, the Babylon Genesis mainnet, which supports BTC staking on the Bitcoin native ledger, officially launched, marking the arrival of a new era for Bitcoin staking! 🎉 Babylon Genesis has also partnered with top Web3 interoperability platform Axelar to seamlessly bridge its ecosystem and native token BABY to the global Web3 network.

Through Axelar's integration, the Babylon Genesis ecosystem is now connected to over 70 blockchain networks. This advancement not only solidifies Bitcoin's position as the cornerstone of security in a decentralized world but also provides developers and users with more possibilities. Now, they can leverage the advantages of the Bitcoin staking protocol to expand beyond single-chain ecosystems and initiate a new chapter of cross-chain innovation.

While retaining the BTC self-custody model, Babylon Genesis has built a trading market for proof-of-stake networks. Through a transparent governance structure, the BABY token rewards early participants and core contributors. This innovative initiative injects Bitcoin's stability and liquidity into a broader crypto ecosystem, reshaping the landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi).

Georgios Vlachos, co-founder of the Axelar protocol, stated that Bitcoin's status as an institutional asset not only solidifies its value storage properties but also allows it to play a key role in on-chain innovation. This integration opens new avenues for developers, allowing them to freely build cross-chain applications and achieve groundbreaking use cases in the decentralized space.

As a leading decentralized open-source interoperability platform, Axelar is the ideal bridge for Babylon Genesis's BABY token. Axelar provides battle-tested infrastructure, with cross-chain transaction volumes exceeding $11 billion, covering over 70 blockchain networks, and simplifying cross-chain token management.

Babylon Genesis and Axelar are committed to unleashing the full potential of Bitcoin in cross-chain innovation. Several Babylon ecosystem teams, including EtherFi, Kinza, Lorenzo, and Tower, have initiated Axelar integration development, and bridge channels will be launched in a few days.
