Great conversation with @TEACHMEDEFI diving into the core question behind everything we build:
"Can Bitcoin evolve without giving up self-custody?"
@dntse walked through how trustless Bitcoin staking grew from an idea to billions secured in a year, why ZK proofs and time locks matter, and how first principles research shapes every piece of Babylon’s design.
If you want the deeper story behind BTCFi and where the next wave of Bitcoin infrastructure is heading, this is a must-listen.
Can Bitcoin infra evolution happen without sacrificing self-custody?
@dntse joined us this week from @babylonlabs_io!
We cover their efforts to unlock native Bitcoin staking & $6B in BTC already locked in one year (!).
Plus: quantum computing threats and first-principles research frameworks. DM to join the show!
