Key numbers · TVL $235K · per DefiLlama · updated Oct 18
Overview
Babylon offers two main products: a Trustless Bitcoin Staking protocol, which lets Bitcoin holders lock native Bitcoin to help secure proof-of-stake chains and earn rewards, and Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV), which allows native Bitcoin to be used as collateral in on-chain credit applications. Bitcoin locked through TBV remains on the Bitcoin network in a self-custodial vault while being recognized as collateral on other chains.
