BOB, a "hybrid layer-2" network aiming to make Bitcoin the center of decentralized finance (DeFi), has integrated with BTC restaking protocol Babylon. BOB's goal is to establish Bitcoin as the foundational network for DeFi by creating bridges between itself and other blockchains, using Bitcoin as the anchor chain for transactions. Integrating with Babylon provides "Bitcoin finality" to BOB, making transactions permanent and irreversible on the Bitcoin blockchain. Babylon, a leading Bitcoin staking project with a total value locked (TVL) of $6 billion, allows the use of BTC to secure other protocols and decentralized applications. BOB plans to launch bridges connecting Bitcoin to other networks through the BitVM computing paradigm in 2025.
