Babylon Labs

What is Babylon Genesis?

It is the first phase of the Babylon ecosystem. A new L1 built to let you stake BTC and earn rewards, without giving up custody.

No wrapping. No bridging 🌉. No moving your Bitcoin. So why should you care?

If you're holding BTC, Babylon gives you a way to put it to work securely.

You keep your keys 🔑 and help secure a new economy built around the sound money that is Bitcoin.

1/10 🚀 Major upgrade incoming: Babylon Genesis V2 is set to supercharge its IBC and become a BTCFi trade center!

This "Builders Upgrade" focuses on cross-chain composability, developer capabilities and user experience enhancements. Here's what’s expected... 👇

Intern, again.

I’ve decided to be more professional with my posts today. I’m going to push a proposal to rename the protocol to “Babylit.”

DMs are open to anyone with a Canva subscription.

What even is Babylon?

What if your Bitcoin could earn… without leaving Bitcoin?

The Babylon ecosystem includes:

A Bitcoin staking protocol that lets BTC secure other networks (BSNs) without leaving the Bitcoin Network

Babylon Genesis: The first Bitcoin-supercharged (more on that later 🤫) L1 chain that coordinates staking and hosts BTCFi apps

Together, they unlock BTC as a productive asset.

Mic check, intern here.

Management said I could post this week as long as I posted from the eco account and didn’t “go full degen.”

So naturally, I’m posting from the Babylon main account.

⚡The latest Babylon Genesis Bi-Weekly Report is now live!⚡️

Hex Trust is bringing native Bitcoin staking to institutions with its integration of the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol!

Clients can now earn rewards on idle BTC, with their assets never leaving Hex Trust’s custody.

⚡️@nativeinsurance are driving the development of institutional-grade insurance frameworks for BTC staking and its bringing @babylonlabs_io along with it for the ride.

This marks a key step toward making Bitcoin staking safe, compliant, and scalable for institutions.

A massive $1B transition just happened!

At about 4:30am UTC 16th May 2025, the BTC holder who staked 10K BTC ($1B) in Babylon Phase-1 has transitioned their entire stake to Phase-2 and started to provide slashable security to Babylon Genesis through @Lombard_Finance, @SolvProtocol and @Pumpbtcxyz! This brings Babylon Genesis' total registered BTC TVL to 42K+ BTC ($4.3B+).

The success of this transition is a testament to the security offered by the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol, as well as an affirmation of Babylon’s vision: Generating safe rewards for Bitcoin holders by inventing trustless and self-custodial utility of Bitcoin that can supercharge other decentralized networks.

Check out the details of this transition in the beautiful explorer developed by @Xangle_official
