The Staking Protocols

Since BTC staking is implemented through third-party staking protocols, these protocols are one of the key players in the Bitcoin staking ecosystem. There are three main types of BTC staking protocols:

  1. Layer 1 or Layer 2 Chains built around BTC and using Proof of Stake (PoS) as their consensus mechanism. These protocols are analogous to Ethereum's staking mechanisms.

  2. Protocols that accept BTC assets as stake and provide various decentralized services, such as oracles or cross-chain bridges. These protocols are similar to the Restaking protocols in the Ethereum ecosystem, which are part of the broader concept of Active Validation Services (AVS).

  3. Generalized Staking Protocols, which include various DeFi protocols that accept BTC-based assets and generate yield from those assets. These protocols provide staking opportunities similar to DeFi protocols using Ethereum-based assets.
