P2P.org Announces Continued Support for Babylon Phase 2: Bitcoin Staking

<p><strong>Unlocking institutional-grade staking across multiple blockchains — with security, efficiency, and scale at the core.</strong></p><p></p><p>We’re excited to announce a new collaboration between P2P.org and Copper, uniting our shared focus on delivering high-performance solutions for institutional clients. By combining Copper’s custody expertise with P2P.org’s optimized staking infrastructure, we’re setting a new standard for institutional services.</p><p>Initially supporting staking for DOT and SOL, the partnership will expand to include ETH, DVT, and Bittensor in the near future.</p><h2 id="a-shared-mission-security-simplicity-and-superior-performance"><strong>A shared mission: security, simplicity, and superior performance</strong></h2><p>Institutional adoption of staking is accelerating, but the bar for usability and security remains high. Copper and P2P.org are meeting that challenge head-on.</p><p>By integrating P2P.org’s proprietary rebalancing technology into Copper’s custodial stack, the partnership streamlines staking workflows for institutions, helping them optimize network rewards, cutting overhead, and streamlining multi-chain navigation.</p><p><em>“We are excited to team up with P2P.org to supply our clients with unparalleled security and efficiency in managing their staked digital assets,” said Ben Lorente, Strategic Alliances Director at Copper. “The P2P.org team fully shares our commitment to ensuring a secure, user-friendly and dynamic staking environment where they can maximise their returns.”</em></p><h2 id="institutional-staking-redefined"><strong>Institutional staking, redefined</strong></h2><p>This collaboration reflects a shared belief that staking infrastructure must meet institutional expectations without compromise on security, performance, or accessibility.</p><p>P2P.org’s unified API gives clients seamless access to staking across 30+ chains, while Copper’s multi-party computation (MPC) custody ensures assets remain secure and off-exchange at all times.</p><p><em>“This collaboration is a significant step forward for institutional staking as a whole,” said Alex Loktev, CRO at P2P.org. “By combining Copper’s cutting-edge MPC technology and custody solutions with our staking infrastructure and unified API, we are meeting the exacting standards of institutional clients and lightening their technical load. Ultimately, our ambition is to set a new benchmark for what institutions expect from their staking partnerships.”</em></p><p><strong><em>Please note: Staking is not currently available through Copper in the United Kingdom.</em></strong></p><div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Get in touch with the P2P team</a></div>

<p><em>Expanding our validator services to support the&nbsp;Babylon network and enhancing Bitcoin staking options.&nbsp;</em></p><h2 id="a-new-chapter-in-bitcoin-staking"><strong>A New Chapter in Bitcoin Staking</strong></h2><p>P2P.org is excited to launch validator support for BABY staking on the Babylon Genesis network. As one of the leading validator providers in web3, we’re proud to expand our services for this exciting network that brings new utility to institutional Bitcoin holders.</p><p>Babylon Genesis is the first Bitcoin-secured network, leveraging Babylon Bitcoin staking to derive crypto-economic security without altering Bitcoin’s proof-of-work consensus. As a standalone Layer 1, it also acts as a control plane and liquidity hub for other Bitcoin-Secured Networks (BSNs), enabling seamless integration with Bitcoin’s security and liquidity.</p><p>The launch of our enterprise-grade BABY validator marks a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing Bitcoin’s role in the proof-of-stake ecosystem. Our infrastructure is fully optimized to support the Babylon Genesis chain, delivering robust security, high availability, and competitive rewards for BABY token holders.</p><p>Institutions and individual stakers alike can now participate in securing Babylon Genesis by delegating BABY tokens and earning rewards, backed by P2P.org’s proven track record, slashing protection, and institutional-grade support.</p><h2 id="what-is-babylon"><strong>What is Babylon?</strong></h2><p>Babylon is an innovative protocol that connects Bitcoin with the broader proof-of-stake ecosystem, enabling secure Bitcoin staking without modifying the Bitcoin blockchain. Its unique architecture is built around two core products:</p><p>Babylon Bitcoin Staking Protocol:<br>This product allows Bitcoin holders to stake their BTC and delegate it to Finality Providers, who provide cryptographic security for emerging Bitcoin-Secured Networks (BSNs). The protocol preserves Bitcoin’s decentralization and security while enabling yield generation. Bitcoin stakers can earn tokens from BSNs—such as BABY tokens—as rewards for securing these networks.</p><p>Babylon Genesis:<br>The first Bitcoin-Secured Network that leverages the security of Babylon’s Finality Providers. As a standalone Layer 1, Genesis inherits Bitcoin-aligned security and acts as a control plane and liquidity hub for future BSNs. In addition to BTC staking, users can also stake BABY tokens and receive BABY staking rewards in return for supporting the network’s security and operations.</p><p>Together, these components form the foundation of a groundbreaking Bitcoin staking ecosystem, bringing new utility to Bitcoin in the proof-of-stake world.</p><h3 id="babylon-phase-2the-three-facets-of-the-babylon-genesis-network"><strong>Babylon Phase 2 - The Three Facets of the Babylon Genesis Network</strong></h3><p>Babylon Genesis is a multi-faceted blockchain, and we will explore it from three perspectives:</p><ol><li>A Bitcoin-secured Layer 1 which uses cutting-edge technologies such as Bitcoin staking and Bitcoin timestamping to leverage Bitcoin security;</li><li>A control plane that coordinates the other BSNs with Bitcoin so that they can efficiently receive Bitcoin security and liquidity with minimal integration efforts;</li><li>A liquidity hub that manages Bitcoin liquidity through on-chain applications that are secured by Babylon Genesis</li></ol><p>You can find more details on Babylon Phase 2 <a href="https://babylonlabs.io/blog/the-three-facets-of-babylon-genesis?ref=p2p.org"><u>here</u></a>.&nbsp;</p><h2 id="the-baby-token-powering-the-babylon-ecosystem"><strong>The BABY Token: Powering the Babylon Ecosystem</strong></h2><p>The native BABY token is the cornerstone of the Babylon Genesis network, carefully designed to create a sustainable economic model that aligns incentives across all participants in the ecosystem.</p><h3 id="baby-token-utility-and-economics"><strong>BABY Token Utility and Economics</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>Governance Rights</strong>: BABY token holders directly influence the protocol's future development, parameter changes, and treasury allocation through on-chain governance voting.</li><li><strong>Staking Rewards</strong>: By staking BABY tokens, holders earn rewards from network transaction fees and protocol inflation.</li><li><strong>Security Mechanism</strong>: Staked BABY tokens serve as the security backbone of the network, with validators including P2P.org required to stake tokens as collateral.</li><li><strong>Fee Payment</strong>: BABY tokens are used to pay for network operations, including transactions, smart contract execution, and Bitcoin staking services.</li><li><strong>Bitcoin Staking Integration</strong>: BTC stakers receive a portion of their rewards in BABY tokens, creating natural demand as the Bitcoin staking ecosystem grows.</li></ul><h3 id="baby-tokenomics-and-staking-details"><strong>BABY Tokenomics and staking details</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>Fixed Supply</strong>: The total supply of BABY is capped at 10 billion tokens, creating a deflationary mechanism as adoption grows.</li><li><strong>Strategic Distribution</strong>: Tokens are distributed across various stakeholder groups including community airdrops, ecosystem development, Bitcoin stakers, and foundation reserves.</li><li><strong>Staking APR</strong>: Initial staking rewards are designed to encourage participation while transitioning to a sustainable long-term model.</li><li><strong>Unlock Schedule</strong>: Token unlocks follow a well-defined schedule to prevent market volatility and align with ecosystem growth milestones<br><br></li></ul><p><strong>Technical Staking Details:</strong></p><p>The slashing ratio for BABY staking is 5%.</p><p>Inflation: BABY has an annual inflation rate of 8%, split as follows:</p><p>• 4% allocated to BTC staking rewards</p><p>• 4% allocated to BABY staking rewards</p><p>Note: Investors, team members, and advisors cannot stake their locked BABY tokens during the first year.</p><p>BABY stake unbonding time: 300 Bitcoin blocks (about 50 hours) – Fast unbonding due to BTC security, unlike Cosmos chains' common 21 days.</p><p><a href="https://p2p.org/economy/a-step-by-step-to-baby-staking-with-keplr-wallet/" rel="noreferrer">Stake BABY now. </a></p><h2 id="comprehensive-validator-services-for-the-babylon-ecosystem"><strong>Comprehensive Validator Services for the Babylon Ecosystem</strong></h2><p>As one of the global top 3 validators, P2P.org is excited to announce our comprehensive staking service for BABY token holders.
