Babylon Protocol vs WisdomTree

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.
