Babylon Foundation has announced the registration for its upcoming airdrop, linked to the launch of Babylon Genesis, the first Bitcoin Secured Network (BSN). Registration opened at 8:00 am UTC on February 25, 2025, and will close at 8:00 am UTC on March 15, 2025.

Participants will need to create a BABY address and cryptographically link it to their Bitcoin wallet or other eligible accounts to receive the airdrop. This registration process is a critical step for those looking to participate in Babylon Genesis and benefit from the decentralized security and liquidity it offers.

About Babylon Genesis and the Airdrop

Babylon Genesis is the first Bitcoin Secured Network and will serve as the control plane for security and liquidity orchestration for other BSNs to come. The airdrop is designed to reward early supporters and contributors who have helped build the Babylon ecosystem. Cuneiform Assets, a Babylon Foundation company, will manage the airdrop registration and distribution. Participants who miss the registration window may have another opportunity after the launch of Babylon Genesis.
