BABYLON BITCOIN STAKING: EXTENDING YOUR TERM
As a Babylon validator and finality provider, we will walk you through the steps to extend your BTC staking term. Remember, staking BABY can boost your Bitcoin yield by as much as 200%.
Wallets like Keplr make Bitcoin staking with Babylon easy, but the wallet does not currently support extending your staking term. You must connect to the Babylon dashboard.
Unfortunately, many countries are restricted. That means you may need to use a VPN and connect to a nonrestricted country first, like Albania.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Babylon network and how does it enable BTC staking?
Babylon is a decentralized protocol that allows users to natively stake their Bitcoin as security for Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chains, without needing to wrap or bridge BTC to another blockchain. It does this by using Bitcoin’s native scripting and cryptography to enable trustless and secure staking.
How is Babylon BTC staking different from traditional staking or wrapped solutions?
Unlike existing systems that require wrapping or custodial bridges, Babylon’s BTC staking is fully native and self-custodial—BTC never leaves the original chain. Staking is accomplished directly on Bitcoin through unique on-chain scripts, ensuring you maintain control and minimizing third-party risk.
What rewards can I earn by staking BTC on Babylon?
Stakers earn BABY tokens for helping secure the network, and with co-staking (staking both BTC and BABY), the incentives are boosted. Staking APY changes, but typically BTC staking rewards are under 2%.
What risks should I be aware of when staking BTC on Babylon?
Babylon implements slashing like other PoS systems: if your delegated finality provider mismanages their keys and double signs a block, a portion of your staked BTC will be forfeited. There is no slashing for downtime. Stakers simply don’t earn rewards if their finality provider goes offline.
How do I start staking my BTC on Babylon?
You stake by connecting your wallet to the Babylon dashboard, or by staking in-wallet when offered. You choose a finality provider, like Atlas Staking. Check our detailed step-by-step guides.
Can I unstake or withdraw my BTC, and how long does it take?
Babylon offers fast unbonding periods compared to other protocols, about 7 days, after which you can withdraw your BTC. This period ensures network security and stability.
