📰 In the Press: CNBC Interview with Fisher Yu
Babylon protocol co-founder Fisher spoke with Henri Arslanian at Crypto Weekly about unlocking idle Bitcoin rewards through trustless staking. The interview sheds light on why native BTC staking matters for institutional participation and BTCFi's legitimacy.
🤝 Atomic Wallet Makes BABY Staking Easier
Atomic Wallet has added support for $BABY staking, giving thousands of users a seamless way to stake and earn rewards within one of crypto’s most widely used wallets.
This integration expands access to Babylon Genesis, making it even easier for users worldwide to participate in BTCFi and grow the Babylon ecosystem.
🪂 Babylon Foundation Social Airdrop Registrations Open
Registrations for the Babylon Foundation Social Airdrop are now live. Users can connect their social accounts and wallets through airdrop.babylon.foundation to secure eligibility.
The registration window is open till Monday, August 4 at 12:00 PM UTC. Eligible participants will receive their $BABY airdrop once registrations end.
📜 New Forum Proposal: Sustainable Incentives and Deflation
A new proposal is live on the Babylon Forum, outlining a plan to ensure sustainable incentives while introducing long-term deflationary mechanics for $BABY.
With BTC Multi-Staking on the horizon, Bitcoin Supercharged Networks will begin paying fees to Babylon Genesis for control plane services. The proposal explores two key uses for these rewards:
- Distributing them to $BABY stakers
- Burning $BABY via auction-based deflation
