Babylon 是一个自我托管的比特币质押协议，它宣布推出第一阶段主网，因为它着眼于领先的区块链网络上不断增长的去中心化金融市场。

Babylon, a self-custodial Bitcoin staking protocol, has announced the launch of its phase-1 mainnet. The protocol will go live on August 22, 2024, enabling BTC holders to stake their coins with the self-custodial protocol.

Babylon 是一种自我托管的比特币质押协议，已宣布启动其第一阶段主网。该协议将于 2024 年 8 月 22 日上线，使 BTC 持有者能够通过自我托管协议质押他们的代币。

According to the announcement on Monday, the first phase of the mainnet will allow users to stake their BTC in the Babylon protocol, which will then be used to secure proof-of-stake networks. The protocol will provide these networks with the $1 trillion bitcoin network security.

根据周一的公告，主网的第一阶段将允许用户将他们的 BTC 放入 Babylon 协议中，然后该协议将用于保护权益证明网络。该协议将为这些网络提供价值 1 万亿美元的比特币网络安全。

Babylon is designed to enable any proof-of-stake network to tap into the vast bitcoin network security, opening up possibilities for layer-2 chains, data availability layers, oracles, and other decentralised applications.

Babylon 旨在使任何权益证明网络能够利用庞大的比特币网络安全性，为第 2 层链、数据可用性层、预言机和其他去中心化应用程序提供可能性。

“This launch leads to the third native use-case of Bitcoin, the asset beside value storage and simple payment: stake to secure networks and earn,” said Fisher Yu, co-founder of the Babylon project. “We expect this to enhance the crypto-economic security of PoS chains and other decentralised applications, offering them a more secure and reliable infrastructure, while at the same time unlocking the value from the idle, unencumbered $1 trillion Bitcoin ecosystem.”

Babylon 项目联合创始人 Fisher Yu 表示：“此次发布带来了比特币的第三个原生用例，即除了价值存储和简单支付之外的资产：通过抵押来保护网络并赚取收益。” “我们预计这将增强 PoS 链和其他去中心化应用程序的加密经济安全性，为它们提供更安全、更可靠的基础设施，同时释放闲置、无阻碍的 1 万亿美元比特币生态系统的价值。”

Babylon, which announced a $70 million fundraise in January, is supported by more than 200 finality providers, including Allnodes, Galaxy Digital, P2P, Figment, Luganodes, and Stakefish. The project has also received support from top wallets such as Binance Web3 Wallet, OKX Web3 Wallet, Bitget Wallet, Keystone, and TomoWallet.

“We are excited to see Babylon mainnet go live and to offer our users the opportunity to participate in self-custodial Bitcoin staking,” said a spokesperson for Binance Web3 Wallet. “This integration will provide our users with a seamless and secure way to stake their BTC and earn rewards.”
