The coordination layer for BTCFi yield and security

Boost your APY 👉
Joined April 2024
As builders in BitcoinFi, this is the kind of infrastructure we've been excited to see. Native BTC collateral connected to Aave deepest liquidity, without compromising Bitcoin's core principles. Big respect to the @babylonlabs_io team for pushing this forward.
Today, we published an ARFC on the @aave governance forum to propose native Bitcoin to Aave V4 as collateral through Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV). The proposal includes two new Aave V4 Spokes; Babylon Spoke and BTCVault Swap Spoke for borrowing and liquidation settlement, revenue sharing terms and AAVE, BABY buybacks. If approved and implemented, Bitcoin holders can lock their native Bitcoin on the Bitcoin chain self-custodially, and use it as collateral to borrow supported assets on Aave V4, without wrapping, bridging, tri-party escrow, or sending their Bitcoin to third parties. Risk parameters for both Spokes will be provided by Aave's risk service providers. Subject to Aave governance review and approval. governance.aave.com/t/arfc-o…

Another b14g burn is complete. 🔥 Protocol activity continues to translate into real, verifiable burns across the ecosystems we build on. 🔥 CORE burned on-chain 🔥 BABY burned on-chain More staking → more protocol activity → more fees → more CORE & BABY permanently removed from circulation. Verify on-chain 👇 CORE: scan.coredao.org/tx/0x3561b9… BABY: mintscan.io/babylon/tx/BA7E1… Real usage. Real fees. Real burn. 🔥

Quick update for everyone staking on Core: Core has temporarily paused staking reward emissions following the recent malicious validator incident. This is a network-level pause, so it affects all Core staking — including b14g, dualCORE, stCORE, and direct validator staking. That’s why you may currently see no APY and no new rewards being added. Your funds remain safe. No action is required from b14g users. Core DAO is working on an emergency hard fork for a permanent fix. We’re closely monitoring the situation and will update everyone as soon as reward emissions resume. xitter.cf/coredao_org/status/209…
Update: the issue is contained and the malicious validators can no longer draw excess rewards. We're now coordinating an emergency hardfork with validators to deploy the permanent fix. This is a forward upgrade, not a rollback. Assets remain safe. Full post-mortem to follow.

Bull or bear, it doesn't matter. Always STAKING. On b14g.

~25% APY on BABY staking. No leverage. No yield farming loops. No rehypothecation. No custodians holding your assets. Just pure staking rewards. So how? Co-staking. When you stake BABY on b14g, the system matches your BABY with BTC from other stakers. That pairing unlocks 5–8x the base yield. You stake one asset. You earn like you staked two. BTC holders don't need BABY. BABY holders don't need BTC. The marketplace handles the matching. Result: 1,000 BABY staked → ~0.5 BABY earned per day.

Most crypto products try to create yield. b14g doesn’t. We unlock yield that’s already there but trapped behind mismatched assets. The model is brutally simple: If you have BTC → stake BTC If you have CORE → stake CORE If you have BABY → stake BABY b14g handles all the pairing to maximize dual-staking rewards No leverage. No derivatives. No trust assumptions. Just better capital efficiency for everyone.
If you believe in BTC → stake. If you believe in CORE → stake. If you believe in BABY → stake. If you want the best staking experience → @b14g_network

b14g Q2 2026 Burn Update This quarter’s burn is complete. 🔥 27,264.35 CORE permanently burned 🔥 85,669.49 BABY permanently burned These burns are funded by real activity across b14g products - not token emissions or artificial incentives. More BTC staked → more participation → more protocol usage → more fees generated → more CORE and BABY removed from circulation. This is how b14g turns Bitcoin infrastructure adoption into long-term value for the ecosystems we build on. CORE burn transaction: 0x69f1a1a21dd16bb85a78ff082da549bdbf55b7ed43953c7f3d2f2e772c6368a0 BABY burn transaction: AE349AC31C9D852C11AB99D4701AB9416C8C4511520063F8EAC97A13DBB2B7C4 This is the foundation.

Markets reveal what users truly trust. In a normal cycle, TVL can be rented with incentives. In a crisis, retained TVL is earned. That is why infrastructure matters. Across the Oct 2025 liquidation cascade, the Nov–Mar hack cycle, and the Apr 2026 bridge attack, many major DeFi protocols saw TVL drawdowns of 40–70%+. But non-custodial BTC staking told a very different story: Babylon: -3.65% Core BTC staking: -9.26% b14g: -1.05% Almost unchanged. The reason is simple: Users had fewer reasons to panic. When BTC is not bridged, not wrapped, not rehypothecated, and not sitting with a custodian, the risk surface is fundamentally different. @babylonlabs_io, @Coredao_Org, and b14g point toward the same future: Bitcoin can become productive capital without giving up Bitcoin’s security. That is the real unlock for BTCFi. Not higher yield at any cost. Higher trust by design.

CORE up 30% last month BABY up 40% And that’s just price. b14g users were already earning 15–30% APR before the move. While most wait for pumps, stakers compound. Daily. Quietly. Consistently.

Most people are staking CORE the wrong way. They earn ~6% APR while dualCORE offers ~15–20%+ That’s 2.5–3x more yield from the same CORE asset. Why? Because of dual staking. CORE alone = normal security BTC + CORE = stronger security → 50x higher rewards The Core network pays more for that. The problem: Most people don’t have both BTC and CORE. So they miss the higher rewards. dualCORE solves this. You only deposit CORE. The system automatically matches BTC for you. No need to buy BTC No extra steps Result: Higher yield for you Stronger security for the network.

dualCORE has been UP for 458 days straight.
Why is $dualCORE an “Up-Only” asset? Because it’s built on something most tokens aren't: Real yield Real compounding Zero slippage risk Zero impermanent loss Zero leverage risk Let’s break it down 👇 Every #dualCORE represents a slice of real yield from securing Core Chain. Each round, Core Chain pays block rewards. These rewards go back into the dualCORE vault. → The vault TVL grows. → Your token's value goes UP. But here’s the secret sauce: The vault doesn’t just stake CORE. It pairs CORE with BTC. That’s dual-staking, and it unlocks multipliers on your yield. More security for the network. More rewards for you. Unlike other tokens, #dualCORE doesn’t rely on hype or inflation. It’s backed by: 🔹 Native rewards 🔹 BTC + CORE alignment 🔹 Real usage securing the network That’s what makes it “Up-Only”. That’s #dualCORE. Built by b14g

Come back to the basics: Self-custody & trustless system.
Big unlock today. BTC stakers can now stake directly from the CLI. Here’s what this changes: - Full control. You verify your own BTC staking address. No UI reliance. - Scriptable + automatable. Infra teams, tech users, protocols - you can now integrate native BTC staking into your own tooling. - Zero interface friction. If you can run a command, you can stake. And the best part? The CLI runs the exact native Bitcoin staking mechanism Babylon designed. The only extra step we add: create a co-staking order so your BTC can match with BABY stakers for co-staking rewards. This is how we scale Bitcoin staking. Simple. Modular. Permissionless. CLI live now. Go run it. Don't trust. Verify. github.com/b14glabs/b14g-bab…

The burn is executed. CORE burn tx: scan.coredao.org/tx/0xbee0e5… BABY burn is queued for next quarter, pending Babylon Genesis upgrade to enable burn functionality. Usage → Value → Burn is now live. This is the foundation.

🚨 Scammers are impersonating b14g - fake airdrops, fake support accounts, and fake wallet connection prompts. Stay sharp: - We’ll never DM you to connect your wallet or claim rewards - Always verify URLs - Only trust our official channels. Handle names can look almost identical, so check every character carefully. - Report anything suspicious via our Discord Your wallet, your responsibility. Don’t risk it. Stay #SAFU

If you can verify the transaction on Bitcoin, you don’t need to trust anyone. That’s why we built the CLI. You see the raw transaction. You verify the script. You confirm the lock conditions. No UI assumptions. Just Bitcoin. Transparency is the feature.

Usage → Value → Burn The loop is forming. On Mar 31, b14g is executing the first on-chain burn. Funded by protocol activity, not emissions. Tokens permanently removed from supply. This is what aligned incentives look like.
