In this episode, David Tse, Co-Founder of BabylonChain, discusses how staking can unlock a new era for Bitcoin by expanding its role in the broader decentralized ecosystem. He shares the founding story of BabylonChain and his journey from academic research to becoming a Web3 founder.
BabylonChain enables Bitcoin holders to earn yield on their idle BTC—securely and without third-party trust or bridging to other chains. By locking their Bitcoin in a self-custodial manner, users gain the ability to validate Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chains and earn rewards in return.
David Tse is a renowned professor at Stanford University, with a distinguished background in wireless communication, genomics, and blockchain technology. He is also an advisor to Bain Capital Crypto, offering strategic insights at the intersection of cryptography, protocol design, and scalable systems.
Tune in for an in-depth conversation with hosts Kenzi Nakamura, Sachi Tanaka, and Diksha Mehra, as David explores the future of Bitcoin staking, the design philosophy behind BabylonChain, and what it takes to bridge rigorous academic research with real-world blockchain innovation.
