BabylonLabs (@babylonlabs_io) has achieved a major milestone in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, securing its position as the 9th-largest protocol by total value locked (TVL).
With an impressive 57,288.84 BTC staked, worth approximately $5.8 billion, Babylon’s innovative Bitcoin staking solution is driving its rapid rise in the DeFi ecosystem.
The Babylon Bitcoin Staking platform represents the third native use case for Bitcoin, with the successful completion of Cap-3 marking the conclusion of Mainnet Phase-1. This phase recorded some impressive metrics:
– Total BTC Staked: 57,288.84 BTC
– Number of Stake Delegations: 144,190
– Total Stakers: 135,290
Phase-2 of the Mainnet rollout will focus on activating Bitcoin staking by launching a Babylon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chain. This chain will be secured by the Bitcoin staked during Phase-1, further enhancing the utility and security of the protocol.
The success of Babylon’s Phase-1 was driven by contributions from several key Finality Providers:
– Lombard Finance: 23,186.13 BTC
– Solv Protocol: 10,242.42 BTC
– PumpBTC: 5,597.16 BTC
– Bedrock DeFi: 4,159.93 BTC
– Lorenzo Protocol: 2,127.83 BTC
– Hex Trust: 2,086.05 BTC
With more than 57K $BTC staked, @babylonlabs_io is now ranked 9th in total value locked among all DeFi protocols.
