Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the world's first cryptocurrency, created in 2008 by the mysterious genius called Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin has a limited total supply and the strongest community. With its price going all the way up to where it is today, Bitcoin is more and more seen as modern society’s "digital gold".
The BTCFi ecosystem is broadly divided into the BTC layer and re-staking, as well as asset protocols such as ARC20 and BRC20. This article will explore how emerging players in the BTCFi space are reshaping the Bitcoin re-staking landscape and compare their main advantages.
The theory of Bitcoin cycles, especially its correlation with Bitcoin halving events, has long been regarded as an important tool for predicting Bitcoin price movements. Historically, Bitcoin halving has often led to price increases; however, the current market performance and the factors behind it suggest that the effectiveness of this theory may be weakening. This article will review the four Bitcoin cycles from 2011 to 2024 and delve into the market changes of the current cycle.
This article discusses two smart contract technologies implemented on the Bitcoin mainnet: OP_NET and Arch. As an execution layer, OP_NET implements smart contract operations through specific Bitcoin transactions and has a mechanism to burn Bitcoins. Arch, on the other hand, is positioned as the "Bitcoin 1.5 layer", using its own token as gas fee to process and verify transactions through nodes.
Dive into the world of Tuna Chain, a groundbreaking Layer 2 solution on the Bitcoin network. Discover its unique features, tokenomics, and how you can get started. Join the Ocean Trio and be part of the future of blockchain technology.
The flow of money in a country's economy is managed by the central bank, which makes adjustments to meet the economy's evolving needs. These decisions influence the prices of financial assets, including cryptocurrencies.
The Bitcoin network is the most valuable decentralized network, and many BTCFi projects, including Babylon, have the potential to transform it into the foundational layer of the entire crypto industry, bringing new possibilities to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The key difference from traditional Layer 2 is that FractalBitcoin expands the network by adding a fractal layer to the Bitcoin main chain. The fractal layer allows the Bitcoin network to process more transactions without changing the original code, maintaining Compatibility and security with the main chain.
The Bitcoin restaking sector is rapidly evolving, aiming to enhance Bitcoin's liquidity and capital efficiency. Projects like Babylon, Chakra, Lombard, Lorenzo, and Solv Protocol have introduced innovative staking mechanisms that allow users to earn additional yields while maintaining asset security. These protocols employ various technical approaches, such as on-chain self-custody, centralized custody, and MPC cross-chain bridges, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. With the launch of Babylon's mainnet, market interest in re-staking has significantly increased, and BTCFi is projected to become a hundred-billion-dollar market in the future. However, this field still faces challenges related to technical complexity and security.<!-----

This article delves into the growth of liquid staking in the DeFi space and how Babylon Chain enhances PoS network security by allowing Bitcoin holders to stake their assets and earn rewards. It also analyzes Bitcoin's dominance in the cryptocurrency market and discusses Babylon Chain's infrastructure and potential growth prospects.
This article delves into four major Bitcoin valuation models: the Production Cost Model, the Stock-to-Flow Model, Metcalfe’s Law, and the AHR999 Hoarding Indicator. By comparing the characteristics and applications of these methods, the article provides readers with a comprehensive perspective on Bitcoin’s value. The Production Cost Model views mining costs as Bitcoin’s price floor, the Stock-to-Flow Model measures scarcity through the stock-to-flow ratio, Metcalfe's Law highlights the exponential impact of user growth on network value, while the AHR999 indicator assists investment decisions by combining short-term dollar-cost-averaging returns with price deviations.
