About Satlayer
We are building the economic layer for Bitcoin — making the world's most trusted asset fully programmable, yield-bearing, and foundational to the new financial system.
Our Mission
Satlayer exists to unlock the latent economic potential locked inside Bitcoin. For years, BTC has been the most secure, widely held digital asset in the world — yet it sat idle, unable to participate in the broader DeFi ecosystem.
We changed that. Satlayer is the restaking and liquid staking infrastructure that transforms Bitcoin from a passive store of value into an active, yield-generating reserve asset powering the next generation of decentralized protocols.
Our mission is simple: make Bitcoin the golden reserve asset of the new financial system, spanning DeFi, real-world assets, institutional adoption, and the global economy.
Our Technology
Satlayer is built on a multi-layered architecture that enables Bitcoin-backed economic security to flow across any protocol, on any chain. Here's how it works:
Bitcoin Restaking
Stake BTC-denominated assets and delegate that economic security to decentralized protocols — called Bitcoin Validated Services (BVS). Each protocol pays real yield in return for securing their network with Bitcoin's trust.
Liquid Staking via Cube
Cube, our liquid staking module, allows users to stake BABY tokens and receive cBABY — a liquid receipt token that can be deployed across DeFi while still accruing staking rewards from the Babylon chain.
Multi-Chain Vaults
Satlayer vaults are live across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Berachain, Bitlayer, Sui, and the Babylon ecosystem — enabling users to restake from their native environment and earn rewards without bridging risk.
Audited & Secure
Our smart contracts have been audited by Salus, Zellic, Dedaub (Token), Dedaub (EVM), Dedaub (Cosmos), and Coinspect — among the most rigorous security firms in the blockchain industry. Security is not an afterthought at Satlayer.
On-Chain Reward Distribution
All rewards — from protocol fees, staking emissions, and partner incentives — are distributed on-chain and transparently verifiable. Satlayer has no hidden fees, no opaque yield sources, and no artificial inflation.
Modular BVS Framework
Any protocol can integrate with Satlayer's BVS framework to inherit Bitcoin economic security. The system is designed to be composable, permissionless, and scalable to hundreds of services over time.
Ecosystem & Partners
Satlayer works with leading revenue-generating protocols across DeFi, infrastructure, and institutional finance to ensure the yield restakers earn is real and sustainable — not inflationary emissions.
Our ecosystem includes protocols that provide economic demand for Bitcoin security, creating a flywheel: more security demand means higher yields for restakers, attracting more BTC, strengthening the entire system.
These are not just integrations — they are revenue-generating relationships that funnel real economic value back to Satlayer stakers and restakers.
Our Values
Bitcoin First
Every product decision at Satlayer starts with the question: does this make Bitcoin more useful? We are not building a competing layer-1 or alternative reserve asset. We are extending Bitcoin's reach.
Real Yield Only
We reject inflationary ponzinomics. Every yield source on Satlayer is backed by real protocol revenue — fees, liquidations, oracle premiums, and bridge usage — not freshly minted tokens.
Security Above All
Multiple independent audits. Conservative parameter settings. Gradual rollouts. We move deliberately because the assets we're securing are real and irreplaceable.
Open & Transparent
All contracts are open-source. All audits are publicly available. All reward distributions are on-chain. We believe radical transparency is the only way to build lasting trust in a trustless system.
The Vision: Bitcoin as the Reserve Asset of DeFi
The global financial system is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades. Trillions of dollars in real-world assets are migrating on-chain. Institutional capital is entering crypto at scale. Bitcoin is being recognized not just as a speculative asset, but as a legitimate reserve currency.
Satlayer is positioned at the intersection of these trends. By making Bitcoin the economic backbone of decentralized protocols — the collateral, the security layer, the yield source — we give Bitcoin a role it was always meant to play but was never enabled to fulfill.
Our long-term vision is a world where every major DeFi protocol, RWA platform, and institutional gateway is secured in part by Bitcoin economic security routed through Satlayer.
Why Now?
The convergence of several macro trends makes this the perfect moment for Satlayer:
Each of these trends creates demand for exactly what Satlayer provides: programmable, yield-bearing Bitcoin security that can be deployed anywhere.
Built by Builders
Satlayer was founded by a team of experienced builders from the intersection of traditional finance, cryptography, and decentralized systems. Our team brings together expertise across smart contract development, protocol economics, institutional market structure, and Bitcoin infrastructure.
We are backed by leading investors in the blockchain space and have shipped production-grade infrastructure trusted by hundreds of thousands of users across multiple chains.
Engineering
Our engineering team has deployed battle-tested contracts across Ethereum, Cosmos-based chains, Sui, and EVM-compatible networks. We prioritize correctness and security over speed.
Protocol Economics
Our economics team designs yield mechanisms, reward distribution curves, and collateral parameters to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Satlayer ecosystem.
Partnerships & Growth
Our business development team maintains deep relationships with protocols, exchanges, custodians, and institutions building on top of Bitcoin infrastructure.
Community & Ecosystem
With over 426,000 restakers already active on Satlayer, our community team ensures users are informed, supported, and represented in protocol governance discussions.
