Babylon

Babylon Labs builds Bitcoin-native staking protocols that allow BTC holders to stake their bitcoin trustlessly and self-custodially — without wrapping, pegging, or bridging — to secure proof-of-stake networks and earn rewards. The protocol powers Bitcoin Supercharged Networks (BSNs), enabling any PoS blockchain to leverage Bitcoin's security and liquidity. Babylon Genesis, its layer-1 blockchain built on Cosmos SDK, launched in 2025 as the first network secured through native Bitcoin staking, with over 56,000 BTC ($5.6B) staked. The protocol features 250+ finality providers globally, a robust bug bounty program, and multiple security audits. Backed by Paradigm, Polychain Capital, Hack VC, and other leading crypto investors, Babylon is building the foundational infrastructure for a Bitcoin-charged crypto economy.
