Bitcoin Staking for Extension Wallets

This guide outlines the various approaches for integrating Babylon bitcoin staking functionality into browser extension wallets.

Option 1

Be added to a third party’s bitcoin staking website as a wallet for either Bitcoin or Babylon or both. This requires collaboration with the host of the website and exposing compatible wallet APIs.

• To be supported in the Babylon hosted staking website as a Bitcoin or Babylon wallet, please integrate with the Tomo Wallet Connect by following the docs.
  • This is the preferred method for wallet integration that will achieve the most timely results. The Babylon hosted website will also support native wallet integrations for select wallets with long-established support.

Option 2

Host your own bitcoin staking website that connects to your extension wallet and retrieves staking information from a backend you operate.

• For information about developing/hosting your own bitcoin staking website, please check:
  • our reference web application implementation.
  • our TypeScript and Golang Bitcoin Staking libraries for creating bitcoin Staking transactions.
  • our documentation on the flow of bitcoin staking transaction creation and submission in conjunction with Bitcoin and Babylon Genesis blockchains.
• For information about the reference Babylon staking backend, please read this document.

Option 3

Develop bitcoin staking as a feature on your extension wallet, which connects to either third party APIs (such as the Babylon Staking API) or a backend you operate.

• For information about developing your own bitcoin staking as a feature, please check:

  • our reference web application implementation.
  • our TypeScript and Golang Bitcoin Staking libraries.
  • our documentation on the flow of bitcoin staking transaction creation and submission in conjunction with Bitcoin and Babylon Genesis blockchains.
