Babylon (BABY) is a decentralized protocol designed to enable native Bitcoin staking directly on the Bitcoin blockchain without intermediaries. It does this through a unique architecture that uses Bitcoin scripts, custom-built modules, and a connection to a secondary blockchain called Babylon Genesis. It introduces a novel shared-security architecture that extends Bitcoin's robust security model to the broader decentralized ecosystem. By allowing BTC holders to participate in staking operations while maintaining their assets on the Bitcoin network, Babylon provides verifiable security guarantees to other networks that are parts of the Bitcoin Secured Networks (BSNs). With Babylon, users don’t have to give up control of their Bitcoin. They keep it in their own wallets, and the protocol ensures their BTC is being used in a secure and trustless manner.
