SUI has announced that it will integrate Babylon’s Bitcoin Staking Protocol and begin operating as a Bitcoin Securing Network (BSN). The integration is part of Phase 3 of Babylon’s expansion plan and is expected to begin by the end of the year. The move shows a major shift in how proven stake networks can benefit from Bitcoin’s security and liquidity without compromising fund custody.
The Babylon Protocol allows users to participate in Bitcoin staking without handing over control to a third party or using bridged or wrapped assets. This structure allows Bitcoin users to directly contribute to the security of their SUI networks and earn rewards without removing funds from the main chain. This integration opens the door to new decentralized applications and services that create operational links between both networks and leverage Bitcoin security and SUI scalability.
Currently ranked 7th in Coingecko’s Proof-of-Stake network, the SUI uses this model. The goal is to direct BTC capital into a programmable environment that generates yields and supports other distributed infrastructures. For Bitcoin users, this represents a way to activate historically passive assets without giving custody.
