Hex Trust, a leading digital asset financial institution, is now integrated with the Babylon Bitcoin Staking Protocol enabling HEX clients to stake Bitcoin natively.
With this integration, Hex Trust’s institutional clients who prioritize long-term bitcoin holdings can now stake their Bitcoin and generate rewards from their idle BTC holdings.
As an Institutional Finality Provider, Hex Trust’s clients can seamlessly access the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol through Hex Safe, their secure, fully-licensed, institutional-grade custody platform.
Clients benefit from:
- Custodial staking – BTC never leaves Hex Trust’s custody.
- Enhanced security measures - The Babylon protocol leverages cryptographic techniques, including Extractable One-Time Signatures (EOTS), to enhance security during the staking process, ensuring accountability and mitigating risks without the use of smart contracts.
- Easy onboarding – Clients without technical configuration can stake their BTC through Hex Trust.
Supporting the Babylon Genesis ecosystem
In addition to BTC staking, Hex Trust will also provide custody and staking services for BABY, Babylon Genesis’ native token. BABY can be used to:
- Participate in Babylon governance
- Earn staking incentives
- Access BTCFi services across the Babylon ecosystem
Babylon Genesis Phase-2
The integration comes during Babylon Genesis Phase-2, which rolled out the Babylon Genesis chain, an L1 that connects Bitcoin's resources with the broader crypto world while maintaining the trustlessness that's fundamental to Bitcoin's philosophy.
Hex Trust’s integration is part of a growing movement to make Bitcoin more composable, productive, and secure in the era of modular blockchain infrastructure. Hex Trust offers a secure, fully-licensed platform for institutions to unlock new reward opportunities.
