Babylon Genesis launched its mainnet in April 2025 as a Cosmos SDK Layer 1 built around a specific idea: letting Bitcoin holders stake their BTC directly to help secure another chain, without bridging it or wrapping it into a synthetic token. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

작동 방식

Babylon Genesis이(가) 작동하는 방식.

Babylon Genesis is a Cosmos SDK chain that combines its own Tendermint-style Proof of Stake with a Bitcoin staking protocol. BTC holders delegate their coins, which stay on the Bitcoin chain itself, to Finality Providers who participate in Babylon’s security process. If a Finality Provider acts maliciously, the delegated BTC stake can be slashed using an Extractable One-Time Signature scheme, giving the network an accountability mechanism without smart contracts on Bitcoin. BABY, the network’s own token, is staked alongside BTC in a dual-staking model, and stakers of both assets share in the network’s issuance.

Native BTC staking

Bitcoin never leaves the Bitcoin chain or gets wrapped into a synthetic asset. It is delegated to a Finality Provider while remaining Bitcoin-native.

Finality Providers

These are the operators BTC and BABY holders delegate to. They participate in Babylon’s finality process and can be penalized if they misbehave.

Dual-staking security

The network is secured by both delegated BTC and staked BABY at once, pairing Bitcoin’s economic weight with BABY’s role in coordinating the chain.

Cosmos SDK foundation

Babylon Genesis is built on the Cosmos SDK, giving it Tendermint-style consensus and compatibility with the wider Cosmos/IBC ecosystem.

Ecosystem & usage

Babylon Genesis의 사용처.

Babylon Genesis’s ecosystem centers on Bitcoin staking itself, plus the Finality Providers and applications that build around delegated BTC security.

What is BABY used for?
BABY is Babylon Genesis’s native token. It pays transaction fees, is used for governance, and is staked alongside BTC to help secure the network.
What happens if a Finality Provider misbehaves?
Delegated BTC stake can be slashed using an Extractable One-Time Signature scheme, which penalizes misbehaving Finality Providers without needing smart contracts on Bitcoin itself.
