Babylon is a BTC staking protocol that allows BTC holders to earn yields from idle Bitcoin in a secure manner: no third-party trust is required, and there is no need to bridge Bitcoin to any other chain. Holders simply need to lock their Bitcoin in a self-custodial manner to gain the right to validate PoS chains and earn rewards in return. With the support of the protocol's rapid unbinding and scalable re-staking features, BTC stakers can also enjoy maximum liquidity and returns.
At the end of May this year, Babylon announced the completion of a new round of financing totaling $70 million, led by Paradigm, with participation from Polychain Capital, the venture capital arm of cryptocurrency exchange Bullish (also the parent company of CoinDesk), HashKey Capital, Mantle, HackVC, ViaBTC Capital, Amber, imToken, Breyer Capital, IOSG, HTX Venture, and LD Capital.
