Babylon exports Bitcoin’s economic security to Proof‑of‑Stake networks by letting holders restake native BTC without wrapping. Validators lock BTC in time‑locked UTXOs; mis‑behaviour is punished via cryptographic slashing that burns the locked coins. A Cosmos‑SDK based testnet secured by Babylon went live in March 2024, paving the way for mainnet in late 2025 and integrations with EigenLayer and Berachain.
Pendle splits yield‑bearing tokens into Principal (PT) and Yield (YT) tokens, enabling users to lock in fixed rates or speculate on future yield. A permissionless AMM with a custom logit bonding curve lets YT premiums track forward‑looking yield expectations. Pendle TVL grew 10× in 2024 on the back of LST and RWA integrations, and PENDLE governance now controls a large veToken bribe market.
