Unlocking the Power of BABY: From Staking to Restaking with SatLayer

As Babylon Genesis goes live, all eyes are on the debut of the network’s native token, BABY — a foundational asset powering the Babylon Genesis’ revolutionary staking ecosystem. 

But the journey doesn’t stop at simple staking. With SatLayer, users can unlock new layers of utility, rewards, and composability through cBABY.

Let’s break it down:

👉🏻 BABY > cBABY > cBABY restaking shares

💧 Staying Liquid with cBABY

In traditional Proof-of-Stake systems, staking helps secure the network in exchange for rewards — but your tokens are locked and illiquid.

That’s where liquid staking changes the game.

With SatLayer, staking your BABY tokens gives you cBABY — a liquid staking token that represents your staked BABY, plus the rewards it accumulates over time.

Key benefits of cBABY:

• Always earning: cBABY appreciates in value over time as staking rewards accrue.
• Fully liquid: Use cBABY across DeFi protocols while still earning rewards (coming soon!)
• Redeemable anytime: Swap your cBABY back for the underlying BABY + rewards at any time.

You get the best of both worlds - staking rewards without sacrificing liquidity.

📈 cBABY Restaked = Rewards x Utility

Take things one step further with restaking. When you restake your BABY with SatLayer, you receive cBABY - a liquid restaking token that unlocks an entirely new layer of rewards and utility.

Why restake?

1. Powering the Universal Security Layer for Web3

At its core, restaking isn’t just about rewards - it’s about contributing to a shared, Bitcoin-secured foundation for Web3.

Babylon Genesis and SatLayer are building towards a universal Bitcoin security layer that any protocol, dApp, or chain can plug into - without needing to bootstrap their own validator set.  

cBABY gives you exposure to this system — and a stake in its success.

By holding cBABY, you:

• Help secure and scale multiple services simultaneously
• Enable capital-efficient, decentralized trust
• Support the next generation of dApps - while earning sustainable rewards

All while your cBABY stays liquid and DeFi-native, ready to be used across the ecosystem while it continues to earn. 

2. BVS Rewards: Real rewards from real projects

Restaked BABY doesn't just sit idle — it secures Bitcoin Validated Services (BVSes): a growing set of protocols and applications leveraging Bitcoin for shared security. 

We’re actively working with a pipeline of 20+ BVSes, and we’re prioritizing those with real revenue from day one.

That means:

• BVSes can share a portion of their fees or rewards directly with restakers. You’re earning real, sustainable rewards, not just protocol inflation
• Your cBABY captures the compounding value of restaking over time

This creates a powerful flywheel: Restakers secure → BVSes grow → Rewards flow back → Ecosystem strengthens

🚀 What’s Next? The Big Picture

Restaking unlocks a new paradigm of capital efficiency, composability, and security - redefining how value, liquidity and security flow across crypto ecosystems.

With cBABY, you’re not just optimizing rewards. You're helping build the backbone of a more secure, interconnected, and rewards-optimized DeFi future.

With SatLayer, you don’t just stake - you supercharge your assets:

• Earn compounded rewards
• Tap into real rewards from live, revenue-generating protocols
• Contribute to a shared security layer that strengthens the entire Babylon Genesis ecosystem

It's a win for users. A win for builders. And a foundational leap for on-chain security.
