# Bitcoin Staking #### Soft-Launch Kinza Bitcoin staking has soft-launched at [https://app.kinza.finance/#/btc ]()\ \*Please note that until Babylon mainnet is launched, unstaking is not currently supported. ### Kinza Finance Liquid Bitcoin Staking Bitcoin staking frees up trillions of dollars to protect Proof of Stake chains, and gives BTC holders a new source of income with potential yield from future rewards, as well as borrowing, lending, and other DeFi opportunities. Kinza's native BTC LRT supports native BTC staking via Babylon, and serves as an accessible gateway for BTC stakers to enter the DeFi field. Users can maintain liquidity during the staking period by automatically receiving kBTC (minus fees) equivalent to staked BTC on the connected wallet on a user-preferred network. Kinza will stake deposited BTC on Kinza Finance via the Babylon protocol, giving end users returns in the way of potential Babylon Token, Finality Provider airdrops, Kinza Points, etc., while having liquidity to lend, borrow, and invest with maximal capital efficiency. ### Security Kinza Finance has always placed a strong priority on security for a stable, sustainable, and robust ecosystem of products.
