Union is going live as launch interop provider for Babylon. • Genesis Drop distribution CORN & BOB • BTC LST bridging • Transport Hub for Escher.Finance LSTs 🧵↓

1/ At Union, we see Bitcoin as the way to free the world from the shackles of economic oppression. This vision is why Union is becoming a key interop provider for the Babylon Genesis network, and supporting the broader Bitcoin ecosystem as it evolves. Here's what Union is doing:

2/ Genesis Drop distribution Union will connect Babylon Genesis with Bitcoin Secured Networks @use_corn (Arbitrum-based) and @build_on_bob (OP Stack-based). Union will abstract away the complexities around the settlement proofs of these two different stacks using state lenses.

3/ BTC LST bridging Through Union's already-established Ethereum to Babylon Genesis connection, all ERC-20 LSTs can be bridged to Babylon Genesis for DeFi use cases, such as LPing on @Tower. That includes all LSTs – @Bedrock_DeFi, @LorenzoProtocol, @SolvProtocol, and more.

4/ Transport hub for Escher LSTs BABY staked on Babylon Genesis will be relayed through Union's infrastructure to @escher_fi's LST protocol. Complexities will be abstracted away, so users will only interact with simplified staking, minting, and token utilization steps.

5/5 Union’s ultimate vision is a frictionless web of chains, where security, performance, and user experience scale together without compromise. Supporting Babylon's Genesis chain, BSNs, and Bitcoin LSTs is a step along this path. Read more:
