Bitcoin Staking for Mobile App Wallets

This guide outlines the various options for integrating Babylon bitcoin staking functionality into mobile app wallets.

Option 1​

Embed a third-party Bitcoin staking website to your mobile app wallet, which interacts with the Bitcoin and Babylon signers inside your wallet via the application window interface. To embed on the Babylon hosted staking website, please ensure that the interface of your mobile wallet (or a wrapper of it) adheres to the Injectable Wallet interface.

Option 2​

Host your own Bitcoin staking website that connects to your extension wallet that retrieves staking information from a backend you operate. Then embed your own Bitcoin staking website to your mobile app wallet.

  • For information about developing/hosting your own Bitcoin staking website, please check:

Option 3​

Develop bitcoin staking as a feature of your mobile 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.
