Babylon is a protocol that aims to bring Bitcoin into the broader Web3 and Proof-of-Stake world by allowing it to be used for staking and network security. Instead of simply functioning as a store of value, Babylon gives Bitcoin holders the ability to participate in validating and securing other blockchain networks, without moving BTC away from the Bitcoin chain itself. This is achieved through cryptographic mechanisms and lightweight integration with PoS ecosystems.
The project positions itself as a bridge between the unmatched security of Bitcoin and the innovation of newer, programmable blockchains. By doing so, Babylon creates new utility for idle BTC, opening opportunities in DeFi, governance, and decentralized applications. Its vision is to transform Bitcoin from a passive asset into an active participant in the Web3 economy, all while maintaining Bitcoin’s native security and simplicity.
