Native BTC can now be staked directly on PoS networks, traded across chains without synthetic representations, and used to finalize transactions with Bitcoin’s unchallenged immutability. “Portal’s integration with Babylon Genesis shows that Bitcoin can serve as both the capital and the consensus layer for a new generation of cross-chain applications,” said Clayton Menzel, Head of Business Development at Babylon Labs. “By anchoring activity to Bitcoin, builders are no longer limited to choosing either composability or s...
