Babylon Staking Cap 3 opens on December 10, 2024. Staking runs from block 874088 and will last for 1,000 blocks (approximately 7 days) with a limit of 0.005 - 5,000 BTC per transaction.
P2P.org is excited about the next Cap, so we’ve prepared a guide to help you stake BTC with P2P.org using the Babylon Bitcoin Staking Protocol.
In this guide, we’ll explain the exact steps you need to take to stake your BTC with our dApp.
If you want to stake your BTC, you need to visit our BTC dApp, where you can stake your BTC in a non-custodial manner.
Currently, our BTC dApp supports Bitcoin wallets such as OKX, Bitget and Tomo.
💡 It’s important to note that you should comply with one of Babylon’s requirements and avoid connecting wallets with Bitcoin inscriptions.
The amount of BTC you can stake in Cap 2 ranges from 0.005 to 500 BTC per transaction. Keep in mind that when making a staking transaction, you will need to pay a fee for the Bitcoin network.
After successfully signing the transaction, you can see the transaction details and a link to the block explorer, where you can find additional information about it.
You can unstake your BTC using the same application. Please note that you can only unstake each transaction one by one. To do that, you need to open the Overview and follow three steps:
Find the transaction you want to unbond
If you do not unstake your BTC, the stake will automatically be unstaked after 65 weeks (64,000 Bitcoin blocks).
