Colossus Digital - supporting “BABY” staking for Institutions
A new layer is coming through Babylon Genesis and Colossus Digital is leading the charge.
As Bitcoin continues its evolution beyond a simple store of value, Colossus Digital is stepping up to unlock new possibilities for institutional holders. Today, we’re proud to announce that Colossus Digital will support BABY token staking on the Babylon Genesis network, through their Institutional Hub —not only leveraging traditional validators infrastructures but also by enabling staking via secure, institutional-grade custody solutions.
Building the Infrastructure for Bitcoin’s Staking Future
Babylon’s vision is clear: to harness the robustness and reliability of the Bitcoin network to provide economic security for a wide range of decentralized applications. In doing so, Babylon positions itself as the world’s first Layer 1 blockchain secured by Bitcoin—a milestone that could redefine the role of the world’s most famous cryptocurrency in the context of emerging technologies.
Staking has long been the domain of proof-of-stake blockchains—but Babylon is changing that. The “Babylon Genesis” introduces a way for Bitcoin to participate in the staking economy, creating a secure, Bitcoin-backed foundation for a new generation of networks.
BABY, the native token of Babylon Genesis, plays a central role in this ecosystem—powering governance, securing the network, and rewarding participation.
At Colossus Digital, we see Babylon not just as a promising Layer 1, but as the beginning of a more interconnected future for Bitcoin. Our team has been involved since the early stages—serving as one of Babylon Protocol’s Finality Providers—and by integrating Babylon into our Institutional Hub, we aimed to ensure the network was ready to support operations through institutional-grade custody solutions.
Now, we are ready to extend this support to the launch of BABY.
Pushing The Boundaries: a new BABY is born
Supporting Babylon staking through custody for enterprises wasn’t just a matter of spinning up nodes. It meant solving a key challenge in modern staking: how to enable institutions, ranging from asset managers to staking companies, to participate directly from custody, on a completely new kind of protocol, in a safe and regulated way.
That’s why we leveraged DFNS to create a secure custody integration for the BTC staking side of the ecosystem.
Building on that foundation, through our Institutional Hub, we are now working to support BABY staking through multiple custody solutions—delivering the flexibility institutions need with the security standards they demand.
This custody staking model allows holders and stakers of BABY tokens to delegate directly from custodial wallets, opening the door to a broader range of participants—especially institutions with strict compliance and security requirements.
Why It Matters
In most ecosystems, custody and staking live in separate silos. Colossus Digital is breaking down that barrier for institutions who want to safely participate in the “BABY” ecosystem..
Institutions no longer have to choose between security and participation.
Every institutional participant of the ecosystem can benefit from this integration, improving their asset manageability
We’re not just supporting Babylon Genesis—we’re investing in the long-term vision of a Bitcoin-connected staking economy that’s secure, accessible, and scalable.
Looking Ahead
Colossus Digital’s mission has always been to support the next generation of blockchain infrastructure. With our continued involvement in Babylon—from finality provider to BABY’s full support and custody integration—we’re helping shape a future where Bitcoin’s value doesn’t just sit idle, but actively contributes to the security and growth of new networks.
BABY staking through Colossus Digital is soon going to be live. Whether you're an institutional holder with strict custody policies or an individual looking to support the future of Bitcoin staking, we’ve built the tools for you to participate—securely, seamlessly, and with confidence. Let’s redefine what it means to stake with Bitcoin, with Colossus Digital and Babylon, the future is already underway.
