About Us

Babylon Labs is building native use cases for Bitcoin.  

Bitcoin is an incredible store of value, but it’s historically been difficult to unlock its broader economic productivity.  Our products address this - our flagship protocol, trustless Bitcoin staking, has attracted almost $6B native BTC TVL, and our new invention trustless Bitcoin vault allows native BTC to participate in DeFi protocols on any chain.

We're a fast-growing team of world-class researchers, engineers, and GTM operators.  Our culture is open, collaborative, and fast-moving, and we're serious about empowering individuals to shape the future of the project and the broader ecosystem.
