Infrastructure for Native Bitcoin Credit Market
Babylon is an infrastructure project that builds Bitcoin collateral solutions on the Bitcoin Network.
Bitcoin Staking
Lock native Bitcoin to help secure proof-of-stake chains. Earn staking rewards while keeping full custody of your Bitcoin. No wrapping, no bridging, no third-party risk.
Trustless Bitcoin Vaults
TBV lets native Bitcoin be used as collateral on any chain and in any application, without wrapping, bridging, or relying on intermediaries.
Trustless Bitcoin Vaults
The problem
Around 3% of Bitcoin is used as collateral, on-chain and off-chain combined. For gold, the figure is around 10%. For ETH, it is around 20%. Bitcoin has limited programmability, so using it as collateral has meant taking on counterparty risk.
The solution
The first use-case
How Native Bitcoin-backed Borrowing Works

Lock native Bitcoin into self-custodial BTCVault on the Bitcoin network.
2. Activate
Aave v4 recognises that Bitcoin as collateral, enabling borrowing of supported assets.
3. Borrow
Borrow supported assets such as USDC/USDT on Aave v4.
4. Repay
Repay the borrowed assets plus interest to withdraw or reduce the position.
5. Unlock
A challenge period verifies the withdrawal. Native Bitcoin is returned to the nominated wallet address.
