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.
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.
Kinza Finance has always placed a strong priority on security for a stable, sustainable, and robust ecosystem of products. Kinza lending protocol offers innovative security features that keep our Dapps and users steps ahead of bad actors. We maintain security with a zero incident track record through consistent audits, and strong security partnerships. This includes our partnership with Chainalysis, B Protocol, Hackenproof, and audit partners. Kinza Bitcoin liquid staking is no different. With security as our priority, we have partnered with Cobo and Coincover to assist in securing Bitcoin staked on Kinza Finance. We utilize Cobo's Multi-Party-Computed wallet mechanism to ensure secure custody of staked Bitcoin jointly managed by Kinza, Cobo, and Coincover.
