The Endgame of BTCFi : @satlayer
+ Home of Bitcoin LSTs
+ As a BABY Liquid Staking Solution
+ Bitcoin Validated Services
🧵
1 - Core Pillars of Satlayer in the Babylon Ecosystem
Satlayer is building the foundational infrastructure for Babylon and EVM ecosystems
+ Home of Bitcoin LST: Providing Bitcoin LST to both EVM and non-EVM ecosystems to boost on-chain liquidity
+ Staking BABY: Enabling liquid staking of BABY via CUBE to mint cBABY, with support for restaking through secure vaults
+ Bitcoin Validated Services: Leveraging Bitcoin staking to enhance the security and decentralization of dApps built on Babylon
2 - Satlayer is the home of Bitcoin LSTs
Satlayer boosts Bitcoin LSTs' yield via restaking, leveraging yield and point meta
It supports top Bitcoin LSTs like $WBTC & $LBTC
Also compatible with EVM chains and non-EVM platforms like Sui & Berachain
Over $400M in Bitcoin value is now restaked on Satlayer, making it one of the largest Bitcoin vaults in DeFi

3 - As a BABY Liquid Staking Solution
SatLayer's Cube is a platform for BABY, built on @babylonlabs_io Genesis, that tokenizes $BABY and boosts yield through its restake vault
Quick guide:
+ Stake BABY, receive cBABY
+ Earn staking rewards while using cBABY in DeFi
+ Restake cBABY to earn extra yield and secure BVS
+ Native to Babylon, no bridging needed
Earn more @Tower Points for providing liquidity to cBABY/BABY

4 - Bitcoin Validated Services (BVS)
SatLayer unlocks Bitcoin as an active security primitive on Babylon and BVS is Strategic Product in Phase II of SatLayer
+ Purpose: Secure off-chain services using restaked Bitcoin and programmable slashing
+ Mechanism: Stakers lock BTC → BTC is restaked via SatLayer → Operators run services → Misbehavior is penalized via custom slashing
Core Participants ↓
+ Service: The services using Bitcoin-backed security
+ Operators: Entities running and validating services
+ Stakers: Users who restake BTC and earn rewards
SatLayer fills the security and programmability gap by building a smart-contract-based slashing and restaking layer on top of Babylon Genesis
+ Built with CosmWasm smart contracts
+ Enables custom slashing and programmable incentives
+ Supports more complex services like bridges, oracles, and DA layers
5 - SatLayer x Babylon = The EigenLayer of Bitcoin
Layer Breakdown ↓
Base Layer: Babylon (SatLayer) ↔ Ethereum (EigenLayer)
→ Both serve as foundational PoS chains enabling economic and security primitives.
Capital Layer: BTC LSTs ↔ ETH LSTs
+ SatLayer uses Bitcoin LST like LBTC, uniBTC, xSolvBTC
+ EigenLayer uses ETH LST like stETH, rETH
Restaking Layer: SatLayer ↔ EigenLayer
→ Both allow staked assets to be restaked to secure external services (oracles, DA layers, bridges) with slashing conditions.
Same Design Philosophy, Different Asset Base
SatLayer is building the Bitcoin-native equivalent of EigenLayer → enabling BTC capital to secure off-chain services via Babylon
While EigenLayer restakes ETH LSTs, SatLayer restakes BTC LSTs with full programmability on CosmWasm
