Why Will L1 Networks Boost Babylon?
Babylon’s core idea is to provide Shared Security for new networks — known as BSNs — which leverage Babylon validators (Finality Providers) to secure and process transactions. However, like all restaking protocols, Babylon faces a key challenge: a limited number of clients.
Currently, not many teams are building entirely new networks. On top of that, competition is intense, with not only @eigenlayer and @symbioticfi in the restaking space, but also proven L2 solutions like Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync, which already offer robust stacks. As a result, growth in BSNs and BTC staking yield could otherwise remain slow.
Babylon’s breakthrough solution is allowing existing L1 networks to integrate Shared Security. This gives them the highest level of security — anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain — without needing to reinvent infrastructure. This path is much faster and more scalable.
Already, several major L1 networks have announced plans to join BSN, including:
- Sui
- Sei
- TAC
- Osmosis
- Cosmos
And this is just the beginning — many more L1s have signaled their intent to adopt BSN in the near future.
How it works:
Finality Providers will operate nodes for these L1s and validate transactions alongside their native validators. Using BLS signatures, the proofs are aggregated and recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain via Babylon’s Timestamping Protocol.
For this service, L1 networks will pay BTC stakers directly, creating a new and potentially substantial revenue stream. As Babylon rolls out its full public BSN technology in Phase 3 (expected by end of 2025), yield for BTC stakers could rise significantly.
Babylon is poised to surprise many.
The Bitcoin ecosystem is only just beginning.
