1. What is Babypie?

Babypie is a liquid staking platform for Bitcoin. It allows users to mint mBTC, an ERC-20 transferable token that is pegged to BTC on a 1:1 basis and it does not accrue any underlying yield. mBTC can be staked as smBTC via Babypie to earn yield derived from Babylon staking.

2. How does Babypie works?

Babypie is a liquid staking platform for Bitcoin, enabling users to mint mBTC, an ERC-20 token pegged 1:1 to BTC. mBTC can be staked as smBTC via Babypie to earn yield from Babylon staking. Upon unstaking, users burn smBTC to initiate the withdrawal process, reclaiming their staked mBTC balance along with any earned rewards.

3. Why Babypie?

  • Babypie provides liquidity to BTC stakers - smBTC is on the execution layer, so it can be transferred. Users receive staking rewards from validation activities and can sell smBTC via DEX anytime they want to exit their staking position.

  • Participate in DeFi - Users can leverage smBTC as foundational elements in DeFi protocols while reaping rewards from their staking validation activities.

  • Governed by the Babypie DAO - This ensures there is no central authority for decision-making, with no single individual possessing access, control, or decision-making power over usersโ€™ tokens. Instead, all protocol decisions are determined through DAO voting, with every BBP holder eligible to cast their vote.

  • Utilizes highly experienced node operators - Babypie collaborates with seasoned finality providers (node operators), reducing the risk of technical errors that could result in slashing or penalties. Users provide the stake, while the finality providers contribute their expertise.
