Airdrop Registration Announcement

Babylon Foundation is thrilled to announce that registration for the Babylon airdrop will begin at 8:00 am UTC on February 25th and will end at 8 am UTC on March 15th. 

Users will be able to create a BABY address and cryptographically link it to their bitcoin wallet used for staking or to certain other eligible activities to receive the airdrop upon the launch of Babylon Genesis. Babylon Genesis is the first Bitcoin Secured Network (BSN)  and will be the control plane for security and liquidity orchestration for the other BSNs to come. Cuneiform Assets, a Babylon Foundation company, will conduct the airdrop registration and subsequent airdrop.

Stakers who miss this registration, for example because of current wallet compatibility limitations, may get a second chance after the launch of Babylon Genesis.

Eligibility Criteria

Groups eligible for this airdrop:

  1. Phase 1 Stakers
    • Stakers who participated in Phase 1 staking up to the closure of Cap 3 (up to and including BTC block height 875087), including both accepted and overflow stakes.
    • To recognize early supporters, those Pioneer Pass NFT holders that staked during Phase-1 can be eligible for an additional allocation in the airdrop. A snapshot of NFT holders was taken at Polygon block 68305555 (around 7:15AM UTC 24/Feb/2025).
  2. Phase 1 Finality Providers
    • Finality Providers that registered on Babylon Github and received delegations during Phase-1.
