P2P.org Announces Support for Babylon Genesis Baby Staking
Expanding our validator services to support the Babylon network and enhancing Bitcoin staking options.
A New Chapter in Bitcoin Staking
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.
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.
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.
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.
What is Babylon?
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:
Babylon Bitcoin Staking Protocol:
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.
Babylon Genesis:
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.
Together, these components form the foundation of a groundbreaking Bitcoin staking ecosystem, bringing new utility to Bitcoin in the proof-of-stake world.
Babylon Phase 2 - The Three Facets of the Babylon Genesis Network
Babylon Genesis is a multi-faceted blockchain, and we will explore it from three perspectives:
- A Bitcoin-secured Layer 1 which uses cutting-edge technologies such as Bitcoin staking and Bitcoin timestamping to leverage Bitcoin security;
- A control plane that coordinates the other BSNs with Bitcoin so that they can efficiently receive Bitcoin security and liquidity with minimal integration efforts;
- A liquidity hub that manages Bitcoin liquidity through on-chain applications that are secured by Babylon Genesis

The BABY Token: Powering the Babylon Ecosystem
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.
BABY Token Utility and Economics
- Governance Rights: BABY token holders directly influence the protocol's future development, parameter changes, and treasury allocation through on-chain governance voting.
- Staking Rewards: By staking BABY tokens, holders earn rewards from network transaction fees and protocol inflation.
- Security Mechanism: Staked BABY tokens serve as the security backbone of the network, with validators including P2P.org required to stake tokens as collateral.
- Fee Payment: BABY tokens are used to pay for network operations, including transactions, smart contract execution, and Bitcoin staking services.
- Bitcoin Staking Integration: BTC stakers receive a portion of their rewards in BABY tokens, creating natural demand as the Bitcoin staking ecosystem grows.
BABY Tokenomics and staking details
- Fixed Supply: The total supply of BABY is capped at 10 billion tokens, creating a deflationary mechanism as adoption grows.
- Strategic Distribution: Tokens are distributed across various stakeholder groups including community airdrops, ecosystem development, Bitcoin stakers, and foundation reserves.
- Staking APR: Initial staking rewards are designed to encourage participation while transitioning to a sustainable long-term model.
- Unlock Schedule: Token unlocks follow a well-defined schedule to prevent market volatility and align with ecosystem growth milestones
Technical Staking Details:
The slashing ratio for BABY staking is 5%.
Inflation: BABY has an annual inflation rate of 8%, split as follows:
• 4% allocated to BTC staking rewards
• 4% allocated to BABY staking rewards
Note: Investors, team members, and advisors cannot stake their locked BABY tokens during the first year.
BABY stake unbonding time: 300 Bitcoin blocks (about 50 hours) – Fast unbonding due to BTC security, unlike Cosmos chains' common 21 days.
