1. Bitcoin Staking Enters a New Era
Until recently, Bitcoin offered no native staking option.
The only choices were wrapped versions (WBTC, tBTC, etc.) or centralized services.
With Babylon, that changes forever:
🔒 Native Bitcoin staking — no bridges, no wrapping, no custodians.
Snow-Fall.io is now part of the active Finality Provider set on the Babylon network.
That means you can delegate your BTC to our infrastructure to help secure the network —
while keeping full ownership of your funds.
2. How Native Bitcoin Staking Works
Babylon uses a unique design where your BTC stays locked directly on the Bitcoin blockchain through a timelock script and a one-time-use signature (EOTS).
No bridges, no synthetic assets — just Bitcoin.
These commitments are then used to secure Babylon and the networks connected to it.
✅ Key Parameters
- Estimated yield: ≈ 1 % APR (paid in BABY tokens)
- Minimum delegation: 0.005 BTC
- Unbonding period: ≈ 7 days (≈ 1008 Bitcoin blocks)
- Custody: fully non-custodial — your BTC never leaves the Bitcoin chain.
3. LST BTC: a Liquid Option for DeFi Users
If you want to stay liquid while staking through Babylon, there’s now another way:
LST BTC (Liquid Staked Tokens).
The leading option today is LBTC, issued by Lombard Finance.
💧 How It Works
1️⃣ You deposit your BTC on Lombard.
2️⃣ Lombard stakes it via Babylon.
3️⃣ You receive LBTC (1:1) in return.
4️⃣ You can then use LBTC in DeFi — as collateral, for lending, or even redelegate it to a Babylon Finality Provider like Snow-Fall.io.
⚖️ Summary
| Method | Main advantage | Limitation | Yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| Native Babylon staking | Simplicity & maximum security | Locked ≈ 7 days | ~1 % APR |
| LST BTC (LBTC) | DeFi liquidity & composability | Smart-contract risk | ~1 % APR (+ DeFi potential) |
