Babylon is a protocol designed to make Bitcoin productive through native staking. Founded in 2022 by David Tse and Fisher Yu, it allows BTC holders to lock their coins directly on the Bitcoin blockchain using specialized scripts. These staked bitcoins then help secure other proof-of-stake networks, referred to as Bitcoin Supercharged Networks (BSNs), while users keep full custody of their assets.
No bridging or wrapping is required. In exchange for providing security, stakers receive rewards. Babylon Genesis, a Cosmos SDK Layer-1 launched in 2025, acts as the coordination hub and the first network secured by this model. Its native token, BABY, is used for governance, transaction fees, and dual-staking alongside Bitcoin.
With tens of thousands of BTC locked (valued in the billions at peak), Babylon ranks among the largest projects in the Bitcoin DeFi space. Its long-term vision is to expand Bitcoin’s role from a store of value into a foundational security and collateral layer for the wider decentralized economy.
