Babylon

Putting Bitcoin staking on the front page of every BTCFi thesis.

We translated a deeply cryptographic primitive into the BTCFi headline founders and traders both repeat — and choreographed a mainnet that held attention past week one.

The challenge

Bitcoin maxis distrust 'staking' as a word. DeFi natives distrust BTC infra as a category. We had to win both rooms.

Several well-funded BTCFi competitors were chasing the same narrative window.

Our approach

How we ran it.

01

Two-audience narrative

Built parallel content tracks — one written for BTC OGs, one for DeFi-native LRT/restaking traders — without contradicting either side.

02

Finality-provider concierge

Hands-on BD with 210+ finality providers across 4 continents. Bespoke onboarding decks and a shared comms war room.

03

BTC-native KOL ring

Activated a curated ring of Bitcoin-credible voices instead of generic crypto-Twitter spray. Result: zero credibility erosion through TGE.

04

Mainnet drumbeat

10-week launch arc from cap-1 staking → cap-2 → mainnet → first BTC LSTs live. Each beat shipped with a hero asset and partner cohort.

"We had a primitive most people couldn't explain in a tweet. Growth3 Labs turned it into the BTCFi narrative every other team now positions against — without ever losing the Bitcoin crowd."
