Babylon just launched its Bitcoin staking on a self-custodial mainnet, and it's already a hit! Over 12,710 stakers have jumped in, locking up 1,000 BTC and causing transaction fees to soar to $132. With $70M in funding and support from big names like Paradigm, Babylon is set to transform Bitcoin into a key player for Proof-of-Stake chains. No middlemen, no wrapping—just pure $BTC earning rewards and boosting security. This is Bitcoin’s next big leap: staking, earning, and integrating with DeFi like never before!
