1. How to stake and restaking BTC to earn rewards

1. Stake native or liquid BTC on BTC LST partner platforms such as Lombard, Ignition FBTC, Solv Protocol, Bedrock, PumpBTC and Lorenzo Protocol.
2. Receive receipt tokens or newly minted tokens from these partners after staking.
3. Hold onto these tokens to continue earning points and rewards from the partners
4. Restake the BTC LST tokens on SatLayer

You can follow our in-depth restaking guide here:

• How to restake and deposit BTC on SatLayer

Note: BTC staking on Babylon Labs is currently supported on EVM-compatible chains. While steps may vary slightly depending on the BTC LST partner, this generally applies across all platforms.

Additional how-to and step by step resources: 

• Stake native BTC on Lorenzo, receive stBTC and restake on SatLayer
• Stake native BTC on Lombard, receive LBTC and restake on SatLayer
• Stake and mint BTC for FBTC and restake on SatLayer
• Stake BTC on Bedrock via Babylon, receive and restake uniBTC on SatLayer
• Stake BTC on Solv Protocol, receive and restake SolvBTC.BBN on SatLayer

2. How to maximize my BTCfi farming strategy

The thing is, you don’t need to be a BTC whale to get the most out of farming.

During Babylon Phase 2, the median Babylon BTC staked was just 0.0064 BTC, a manageable amount for the average retail staker.

We're keen on collecting data. But the key is to analyze it properly.

The average transaction size is 1.76 BTC.

This is skewed, however, by the 13 massive transactions of 500 BTC.

Instead, look at the median: 0.0064 BTC.

At $380 USD, this is much more affordable. https://t.co/LSSdYsrOF7

With our Bitcoin rewards farming strategies, you can restake and farm as little as 0.001 BTC across multiple partners — think of them as the "3-in-1" and "4-in-1" strategy.

Bitcoin rewards farming strategies:

• 2-in-1: FBTC
• 3-in-1: LBTC and Lorenzo’s stBTC
• 4-in-1:  solvBTC.BBN, uniBTC, and pumpBTC

It’s like an instant coffee pack to help supercharge your BTC earnings across BTC LST partners. 

3. How does the 4-in-1 BTC farming strategy work? 🚜

Let’s say you have 0.001 BTC/WBTC/BTCB.

With our 4-in-1 strategy, you can stake and restake that 0.001 BTC across up to 4 protocols. As of now, this strategy primarily works on the ETH mainnet.

Here’s how it breaks down:

1. Swap your 0.001 BTC for $FBTC on Ignition FBTC
2. Stake your 0.001 $FBTC on Solv, Bedrock, pumpBTC, or Lombard.
3. Receive BTC receipt LST tokens (e.g., LBTC) from the BTC LST platform.
4. Restake those receipt tokens on SatLayer. In return, you’ll get a $satLBTC receipt token on SatLayer to confirm your transaction has been restaked.

With this approach, your 0.001 BTC earns rewards across multiple platforms such as FBTC Sparks + BTC LST Partners rewards (i.e Solv XP, Lombard Lux) + Babylon rewards and Sats² rewards.

This method generally applies to all BTC LST platforms, though the steps may slightly vary.

With this 4-in-1 method, you don’t need to be a whale to maximize BTC rewards farming.

If an everyday Joe can do it with just 0.001 BTC, so can you!
