Babylon Testnet Operations Tutorial
Here’s a beginner-friendly walkthrough:
Claim test coins → Store BTC → Activate → Borrow → Repay → Retrieve BTC
⚠️ Note: Everything is test assets with no real value. Never deposit real BTC.
1. Preparation
Prepare two wallets:
Bitcoin wallet: supports the Signet testnet + Taproot
Ethereum wallet: switch to the Sepolia testnet
Get test assets:
BTC: collateral
ETH: fees
USDC / USDT: borrowing
2. Deposit BTC
Go to the Babylon testnet and connect your Bitcoin wallet.
Click Deposit → Create a BTC vault → enter the BTC amount → confirm the transaction.
After submitting, seeing Pending is normal.
Wait about 2 hours; the status will change to Verified.
3. Activation
Click Activate → confirm in your wallet.
After the status becomes Active, BTC can be used for borrowing.
4. Borrowing
Go to the lending page → Borrow.
Choose USDC / USDT / WBTC → enter the amount → confirm the transaction.
It’s recommended not to borrow the maximum amount on your first try.
5. Repayment
Go to the lending page → Repay → select repay all → confirm.
After completion, verify that Debt = 0.
6. Retrieve BTC
Back to the BTC vault → Withdraw → enter the amount → confirm.
⚠️ BTC will not arrive immediately.
On the testnet, the withdrawal process takes about 3 days. If you see Pending, don’t worry—just wait for it to finish.
Full process
Claim test coins → Store BTC → wait about 2 hours → Activate → Borrow → Repay → Withdraw → wait about 3 days → BTC returns to your wallet
If you encounter errors, failed transactions, or abnormal balances during testing, record them and report back to the Babylon team.
With Babylon, native BTC doesn’t need wrapping or cross-chain bridging—it can be used as DeFi collateral for borrowing.
After this testnet run—“BTC collateral → Borrow → Repay → Retrieve BTC”—you’ll basically understand what Babylon is doing.
