What if your Bitcoin could do more than sit idle?

SatLayer is pioneering a new way to activate BTC by enabling it to secure decentralized systems across chains through restaking.

🔹 Turning Bitcoin Into Active Capital

Instead of leaving BTC untouched in wallets, SatLayer lets holders restake Bitcoin-based assets like WBTC or BTC LSTs. These restaked tokens help power essential decentralized components things like oracles, rollups, bridges, and more through a framework called Bitcoin Validated Services (BVSes).

🔹 A Strong Start

In August 2024, SatLayer raised $X million in a heavily oversubscribed pre-seed round led by Hack VC and Castle Island, with support from firms like Franklin Templeton, OKX Ventures, and Amber Group. The demand for BTC restaking is rapidly growing.

🔹 Mainnet Launch on Babylon

By April 2025, SatLayer went live on Babylon Genesis, a blockchain designed for Bitcoin staking. The launch was significant:

Over $XXX million in BTC restaked

Release of cBABY, a native liquid staking token on Babylon

This marked a major leap for trustless Bitcoin participation in DeFi.

🔹 Cross-Chain Expansion with Sui

Late 2024 saw SatLayer expanding to the Sui Network, enabling developers to secure their dApps using Bitcoin. Major protocols such as Suilend, Cetus, Navi, and Aftermath were among the early adopters.

At that point, more than $X billion in BTC had been restaked through Babylon.

🔹 Why It’s Powerful

Built on Babylon’s slashing framework, SatLayer brings validator accountability to Bitcoin. Just like in Ethereum’s EigenLayer, validators can face penalties for misbehavior making BTC a credible security layer for applications across chains.

This shifts BTC from a passive store of value into a programmable and dependable coordination tool.

🔹 Rapid Growth Fueled by Incentives

Partnering with Fuul, SatLayer launched a user rewards program that delivered real traction:

More than doubled its depositor base

Pushed TVL beyond $XXX million

Onboarded over XXXXXX users

Saw transaction activity surge more than 12x

Restaking isn’t just gaining mindshare it’s scaling.

🔹 The Vision Ahead

SatLayer isn’t just another protocol
it’s building a modular security layer around Bitcoin. The mission is clear:

Unlock real yield for BTC holders

Deliver decentralized security to apps across chains

Lay down scalable infrastructure powered by the world’s most secure asset

Bitcoin’s future isn’t just about holding. It’s about building.
