BOB Network 與 BTC Restake Protocol Babylon 整合，力求比特幣成為 DeFi 宇宙的中心

BOB 是「Build on Bitcoin」的縮寫，其目標是透過在自身和其他區塊鏈之間建立橋樑，將比特幣建立為 DeFi 的基礎網絡

A layer-2 network aiming to make Bitcoin the center of decentralized finance (DeFi) has integrated with BTC restaking protocol Babylon.

旨在使比特幣成為去中心化金融（DeFi）中心的第 2 層網路已與 BTC 重新抵押協議 Babylon 整合。

An abbreviation of “Build on Bitcoin,” BOB is a hybrid layer-2 network that aims to establish Bitcoin as the foundational network for DeFi. It does this by creating bridges between itself and other blockchains, using Bitcoin as the anchor chain to finalize transactions.

BOB 是「Build on Bitcoin」的縮寫，是一個混合第 2 層網絡，旨在將比特幣建立為 DeFi 的基礎網絡。它透過在自身和其他區塊鏈之間建立橋樑，使用比特幣作為錨鏈來完成交易來實現這一點。

Integrating with Babylon forms part of BOB's roadmap by giving it “Bitcoin finality,” the point at which a transaction is permanent and irreversible on the oldest blockchain. Assets deposited from other chains on BOB would be confirmed and verified on Bitcoin via Babylon's protocol.

與 Babylon 的整合構成了 BOB 路線圖的一部分，賦予了它“比特幣最終性”，即交易在最古老的區塊鏈上是永久且不可逆轉的。從其他鏈存入 BOB 的資產將透過 Babylon 協議在比特幣上確認和驗證。

Babylon is the foremost Bitcoin staking project in the sector, with total value locked (TVL) of around $6 billion. Staking refers to offering up crypto tokens to support the running of a blockchain network in return for rewards, similar to accruing interest in a bank account.

Babylon 是該領域最重要的比特幣質押項目，鎖定總價值 (TVL) 約為 60 億美元。質押是指提供加密代幣來支援區塊鏈網路的運作以換取獎勵，類似於銀行帳戶中的累積利息。

Such a process is fundamental to networks like Ethereum and Solana which run on a “proof-of-stake” mechanism, but is absent from Bitcoin, which use “proof of work.”

這樣的過程對於像以太坊和 Solana 這樣運行在「權益證明」機制上的網路來說是基礎，但在使用「工作量證明」的比特幣中卻沒有。

However, given that the total market cap of bitcoin is greater than every other crypto asset combined, projects like Babylon are exploring ways of tapping into BTC's deep reserves to benefit the broader industry.

然而，鑑於比特幣的總市值大於所有其他加密資產的總和，Babylon 等項目正在探索利用 BTC 深厚儲備的方法，以使更廣泛的行業受益。

This week, Babylon completed its third staking round in which it took its total BTC staked to 57,290 ($5.93 billion), placing it in the top 10 protocols by TVL, according to data tracked by DeFiLlama.

根據 DeFiLlama 追蹤的數據，本週，Babylon 完成了第三輪質押，其質押 BTC 總量達到 57,290 個（59.3 億美元），躋身 TVL 排名前 10 名的協議之列。

BOB's next step is to launch bridges connecting Bitcoin to other networks, using BitVM, a computing paradigm designed to allow Ethereum-style smart contracts on the world's original blockchain. BitVM is set for testnet release in Q1 of 2025.

BOB 的下一步是使用 BitVM 啟動將比特幣連接到其他網路的橋樑，BitVM 是一種運算範式，旨在允許世界原始區塊鏈上的以太坊式智慧合約。 BitVM 預定於 2025 年第一季發布測試網。
