We’re excited to announce that Pivotal is integrating the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol to become one of the first institutional-grade Bitcoin Secured Networks (BSN).
This integration strengthens Pivotal’s infrastructure by bringing Bitcoin security to enterprise and DeFi applications.
Through plusBTC, its Bitcoin Liquid Staking Token, Pivotal enables Bitcoin holders to participate in reward-generating opportunities while maintaining the core security and decentralization properties of Bitcoin.
This integration helps Pivotal connect Bitcoin’s $1.9T market cap with real-world and decentralized applications, while reinforcing Babylon’s role as a foundation for BSNs.
What Are Bitcoin Secured Networks (BSNs)?
BSNs are decentralized networks that use Bitcoin's robust security through the Babylon protocol. By staking BTC with Babylon, users directly support the security of these networks. This approach offers several key advantages:
- Security: BSNs inherit Bitcoin's security without relying on intermediaries or bridges.
- Decentralization: BSNs tap into Bitcoin, the most decentralized network to become more resilient and resistant to censorship.
- Liquidity: BSNs can benefit from Bitcoin’s roughly $2 trillion in idle liquidity.
- Fast finality: Transactions on BSNs can benefit from quicker confirmation times.
Benefits of the Pivotal integration
The integration of Babylon’s protocol into Pivotal’s ecosystem brings several key advantages:
- Increased security: Pivotal leverages the Babylon Bitcoin staking to provide the foundation for its network. Utilizing Ceffu custody and AltLayer's "BLITZ" fast-finality product, Pivotal ensures a secure environment for both decentralized and commercial applications.
- Enterprise-ready infrastructure: By integrating Babylon, Pivotal provides an ecosystem that supports enterprise-grade applications, bridging traditional businesses with the security and scalability of decentralized systems.
- Ecosystem growth: This integration helps strengthens the BSN ecosystem by creating opportunities for validators, commercial partners, and other decentralized protocols.
Looking Ahead
Pivotal is integrating with Babylon in the wake of Babylon’s Cap-3 beta launch, which closed with over 57,290 BTC staked and a total value locked of approximately $6.15 billion. These numbers demonstrate the robust adoption of Babylon’s staking protocol and its capacity to scale.
Integrations like Pivotal showcase the increasing demand for Bitcoin Secured Networks and reinforce Bitcoin’s role as a foundational layer for decentralized and mainstream systems.
