Join the Bitcoin Staking Revolution
It all started with a small group of people 15 years ago. Well 1 person actually, Satoshi Nakamoto. Dreaming of a better financial landscape for humanity. Bitcoin ushered in a new era of ownership, decentralization, censorship resistance, immutability & fixed supply store of value, a new era for the digital economy.
As it progressed from a medium of exchange to a store of value “digital gold” to be HODL, Babylon marks the beginning of a new era in innovation for Bitcoin: HODLing accrues yields.
The First Trustless Native Bitcoin Staking will be made possible, through the Babylon Testnet platform, when it launches next week. Bitcoin staking opens a new realm of financial opportunities for the Bitcoin community and for the first time enables users to earn on their idle Bitcoin, while POS chains can benefit from the immense Bitcoin security the network enjoys.
21M Bitcoins securing the decentralized economy.
One of the most important factors in the development of Babylon was to help Bitcoin evolve, not change. Babylon introduces no smart contract, no requirement to update the Bitcoin Network. Simple, secure, self-custodial and the highest level of security in the industry for any POS chain.
You can join the staking revolution and become one of the first Bitcoin staking pioneers by taking part in Babylon’s Testnet journey.The participation is risk-free: The Babylon testnet will be built on BTC Signet, a testing network, not the BTC mainnet. So your real Bitcoin is not at stake. Read on to find out how.

The claim period will be open for only 7 days after launch and there will be limited supply available — so you’ll need to act quickly.
