SolvBTC.BBN
SolvBTC.BBN is a liquid staking token (LST) for Bitcoin, representing the staked Bitcoin in Babylon. SolvBTC.BBN allows Bitcoin holders to earn staking yields, in exchange for sharing $1.3 trillion economic security of Bitcoin with PoS chains, while enabling them the flexibility to participate in DeFi.
What is Babylon?
Ethereum, as the second-highest market cap asset, has evolved beyond its initial goal of being “the world computer” to becoming a security layer for other networks through EigenLayer and nearly 100 rollups building on it. A primary security source for blockchains is a significant amount of capital funneled through a desirable asset that can be staked, such as ETH. Projects like EigenLayer leverage ETH to secure other blockchains rather than relying on high token emissions.
In just five months, EigenLayer has attracted over $13 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL), showcasing that ETH is a desirable asset for shared security. Given its success, the question arises: why not apply this model to the only asset more desirable and secure than ETH — Bitcoin?
Babylon is a protocol working to create Bitcoin staking, allowing BTC holders to share over $1.3 trillion of economic security with other networks in exchange for a staking yield.
Preparing for Babylon’s Mainnet Launch
SolvBTC Babylon (SolvBTC.BBN), is a liquid staking token for Bitcoin, and can be obtained by staking your SolvBTC. SolvBTC.BBN will not produce yields initially but is designed in preparation for Babylon’s mainnet launch.
