Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol uses CubeSigner’s advanced Bitcoin signing functionality to secure keys underpinning their self-custodial Bitcoin staking protocol. Their keys remain inside secure hardware during signing and are protected by policies and workflows that restrict how and when they can be used. This gives the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol a strong defense against key compromise and unauthorized activity, even if faced with infrastructure-level attacks.
“We are excited to work with Cubist on making Bitcoin staking safe at the system and operational levels—in particular, on making it possible for honest node operators and Bitcoin holders to stake without worrying about getting slashed due to bugs, mistakes, or network issues.”
