School is out, markets are hot, and your sats will be getting an upgrade.
Babylon Genesis is rolling out its initial Bitcoin Supercharged Networks (BSNs) soon!
Quick refresher: What is a BSN?
A Bitcoin Supercharged Network is any chain or rollup that integrates with the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol to inherit three things:
- Bitcoin staking security (slashable, PoS-grade finality)
- Bitcoin liquidity
- Instant access to Bitcoin-native users who want rewards without custody risk, bridging, or wrapping.
The results? Significantly enhanced economic security, on-chain BTC TVL, increased DeFi volume, and greater network activity.
In return, each BSN gives something back:
- Staking rewards are paid straight to BTC stakers.
- New BTCFi venues that let BTC move, lend, borrow, and trade.
BSNs power all three layers of BTCFi: the staking layer, the liquidity layer, and the execution layer. Any decentralized network can apply, which means the list below is just the warm-up round.
As a BTC holder and staker, why should you care?
- Reward stacking: Collect rewards from multiple BSNs.
- Security without sacrifice: You remain in control of your keys, unbonding takes about two days.
- A growing BTCFi universe: More places where BTC can be put to work.

How rewards work
- Stake BTC to one Finality Provider per BSN on the Babylon dashboard.
- BSNs send their own native tokens, or a token of their choice, as rewards to Babylon Genesis.
- Babylon Genesis skims a tiny protocol fee and forwards the rest to you.
- BTC stakers receive the rewards as long as their bitcoin remains staked.

What’s ahead?
Babylon’s 2025 roadmap spotlights two game-changing features: full EVM capability and native Bitcoin multi-staking.
EVM support arrives on Babylon Genesis testnet in Q3 and mainnet in Q4, opening Genesis to Solidity developers and the vast library of Ethereum DeFi protocols.
Multi-staking rolls out on the same schedule, allowing a single Bitcoin (or fraction of a Bitcoin!) to secure several BSNs simultaneously and receive their native rewards straight to your self-custody wallet.
