Babylon's new roadmap plans to create a decentralized financial infrastructure that does not require custody and is composable through native Bitcoin staking, security empowerment, EVM integration, and native liquidity bridging:
April 2025: The mainnet is launched, and the penalty-proof proof-of-stake mechanism based on native BTC is enabled to achieve on-chain security without custody and asset packaging;
Q3 2025: Multi-staking testnet is released, and the same BTC can provide security for multiple networks (such as Arbitrum and Cosmos chains) and obtain multiple benefits; EVM testnet is launched to promote the rapid deployment of BTCFi native applications and user growth;
Q4 2025: Multi-staking mainnet and EVM mainnet are launched simultaneously to form a complete BTCFi execution layer;
Continuous research and development: Native Bitcoin liquidity layer, through BitVM and cross-chain bridging technology, to build a trustless, non-custodial BTC liquidity solution;
Q1 2026: Native BTC liquidity application is launched, making Bitcoin truly programmable and on-chain financial capabilities.
