Babylon (BABY) is a protocol that enables self-custodial BTC staking directly on the Bitcoin network without bridges, wrapped tokens, or custodians. Developed by Stanford researchers, it allows Bitcoin holders to lock BTC in native time-locked contracts to secure Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains—earning yield while retaining private key control.
To keep networks honest, Babylon uses Extractable One-Time Signatures (EOTS) cryptography, automatically burning/slashing BTC if malicious activity occurs. The BABY token powers the ecosystem's control-plane blockchain (Babylon Genesis), serving as gas, governance, and staking rewards for securing the network.
