Let’s talk about two key roles in the Babylon ecosystem
👷 Validators
🕵️ Finality providers
They’re both essential, but they do very different jobs.
Here’s a quick breakdown 🧵
👷 Validators are like the bricklayers of Babylon Genesis.
They propose blocks, validate transactions, and build the blockchain, one block at a time.
Their job?
Make sure the chain keeps growing correctly.
🕵️ Finality providers are the inspectors on the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol.
They don’t build the blocks... they sign off that the structure is legit and locked in.
Once they sign-off, that block become also Bitcoin finalized.
Finality providers don’t use $BABY to secure the network.
They use staked Bitcoin.
Why?
Because Bitcoin is the most secure asset on Earth.
In short:
👷 Validators = grow the chain
🕵️ Finality providers = lock it in
You need both to make Babylon Genesis secure, scalable, and decentralized.
And yes—you can be a finality provider without ever moving your BTC.
So if you're stacking sats...
Why not put them to work to supercharge the next generation of blockchains?
Enter: the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol
