**[Learn more about Ankr’s role in Eigen Layer](https://www.ankr.com/blog/ankr-s-core-role-in-eigen-layer-and-avs-operations/?page=1)**

## What Is Brevis Network and Brevis coChain AVS?

Brevis is a smart zero-knowledge coprocessor that empowers smart contracts to read from and utilize the full historical on-chain data from any chain and run customizable computations in a completely trust-free way. Using Brevis, developers can create a multitude of data-driven features — DEXes are able to build [VIP loyalty programs](https://twitter.com/UniswapFND/status/1719760883965149501) based on a user’s past trading volume; active liquidity management protocols can trigger predefined user intents with ZK-verified on-chain states and events; AMMs can have strong LVR protection and more robust farming reward distribution programs; protocols can utilize [multi-dimensional ZK-reputation](https://twitter.com/TrustaLabs/status/1768114687089295770) metrics to segment users and provide a personalized UX based on an address’s on-chain footprint.

Initially, Brevis operated only via a "pure-ZK" model, wherein ZK proofs were always generated upfront and verified on-chain before coprocessing results could be used. While the pure-ZK model provides simplicity and a trustless framework, many dApps seek a more flexible solution that can be cost-effective across different scenarios based on the value and time sensitivity of a request, while still ensuring security through robust ZK guarantees.

To meet this demand, Brevis introduced the coChain AVS powered by EigenLayer restaking, marking the beginning of a novel ZK Coprocessor architecture that **combines the strengths of crypto-economic security and ZK fraud proof**. Upon receiving a request, the Brevis coChain first produces crypto-economically secured coprocessing "proposals", which are open to "challenges" through ZK fraud proofs. In the majority of cases where challenges are not initiated, the results can be used directly in smart contracts without incurring the steep costs associated with ZK proof generation and verification. In addition to significantly lower costs, the introduction of the coChain AVS also supports essential features like proof of non-existence and proof of completeness, which were previously very difficult to attain using the pure-ZK framework.

**[Learn more about Brevis](https://brevis.network/)**

## How Does Brevis Benefit Ethereum and Other Blockchains?

Brevis can reduce on-chain workloads, enhance security, and unlock new functionalities, positioning it as a valuable tool for developers building scalable and secure blockchain applications.

- **Migrating Heavy Computation Off-chain:** Smart contracts require an infeasible amount of computational resources to execute data-driven or complex logic, resulting in impractical fees and wait time on the users’ end. To resolve that, Brevis migrates the computation off-chain and allows smart contracts to access full historical on-chain data and run customizable computations in a trust-free manner. With advanced ZK cryptographic algorithms and large-scale parallel computing, Brevis can process complex computations on thousands of transactions in just a few minutes.

- **Enhanced Security and Privacy:** Brevis' zero-knowledge proofs ensure the validity of data access and computations without the need to reveal the underlying data. This enhances the throughput of Ethereum while safeguarding user privacy.
- **Facilitating Interoperability:** Brevis plays a big role in fostering interoperability between blockchains. By enabling trustless data access and verification on various chains, Brevis creates opportunities for DeFi protocols and other applications to build data-driven features across different blockchain ecosystems.

![staking-bitcoin.png](https://s3-frontend-strapi.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/staking_bitcoin_47d08aa3f3.png)

**Bitcoin staking** represents a pivotal innovation in the DeFi space, enabling investors to earn rewards with their Bitcoin holdings. 

Functioning on a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus model, the Bitcoin network was designed in such a way that rewards are mined. This means that, unlike Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains like Ethereum, Bitcoin can’t be staked directly.  

However, it is still possible to “stake” Bitcoin, by creating tokenized versions of BTC to be used in the DeFi ecosystem of Ethereum and other chains. This comprehensive guide delves into the mechanics of Bitcoin staking, providing a step-by-step walkthrough for engaging in the staking process.

## What is Bitcoin Staking?
[Ankr and the Babylon](https://www.ankr.com/blog/ankr-and-babylon-launching-first-bitcoin-staking-solution/) protocol have collaborated to create the first solution for staking Bitcoin. Staking Bitcoin is a process that allows Bitcoin holders to lock up their coins on the Bitcoin network before minting new tokens that represent the value of their BTC on the PoS blockchain of their choice. This provides a way to participate in Web3 network operations, akin to how one might stake tokens in various Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains. 

- BTC holders elect to stake their bitcoin via Ankr Staking.
- Their chosen amount of BTC is then locked on the Bitcoin blockchain where it is subject to the slashing conditions normally associated with staking.
- Stakers then choose which PoS networks they would like to stake to that are part of the Babylon protocol.
- Stakers then receive new [Liquid Staking](https://www.ankr.com/blog/liquid-staking-a-comprehensive-guide/) Tokens (LSTs) minted on their chosen PoS chain that represent the value of their BTC plus accrued staking rewards.
- Stakers can choose to unstake and unlock their BTC at any time while claiming their accumulated staking rewards. 


## Why investors should stake or consider staking Bitcoin
Bitcoin staking introduces a method to earn passive income on assets that would otherwise remain idle in wallets. This is especially appealing during a bull market, providing a more stable income stream alongside potential capital gains from price appreciation.

## How Bitcoin Staking Works
Through collaborations such as Ankr and Babylon's, Bitcoin can be staked in a way that secures PoS networks. Babylon's protocol enables Bitcoin holders to lock their BTC, which then gets utilized in PoS systems, thereby boosting their security and economic robustness.

The process involves locking BTC on the Bitcoin chain while minting new tokens on PoS chains, creating a function that allows Bitcoin to participate in staking mechanisms indirectly. This is achieved through [liquid staking tokens](https://www.ankr.com/staking-crypto/) (LSTs) that represent the staked BTC on PoS networks.

## Staking Bitcoin vs. Mining Bitcoin

### Mining
Mining Bitcoin requires computational power to solve complex algorithms. In the old days, it was possible to mine using a personal computer. However, mining difficulty has gone up considerably since then. 

Nowadays, Bitcoin mining is mostly done by companies instead of individuals. It can only be done profitably through specified equipment, called ASICs, and in places where energy prices are favorable. 

### Staking
Staking is a straightforward process. Users simply need to lock up their Bitcoin and they are already supporting the security and consensus of other networks.

### Mining vs Staking
Setting up a Bitcoin mining operation is complex, expensive, and risky. Not only are ASICs expensive to buy, but they also require maintenance and efficient cooling methods. 

These factors make Bitcoin staking a more simple and viable option, especially for retail investors. While there are still risks involved in Bitcoin staking, it is a much simpler process that doesn't require a large amount of capital. 

## Benefits of Staking Bitcoins
Here are the benefits of staking Bitcoin:

- **Passive Income:** Potential to earn rewards on holdings.
- **Security Enhancement:** Contributes to the security of multiple blockchain networks.
- **Simplicity:** Staking is an easy and quick process.

## How to Calculate Bitcoin Staking Rewards
Calculations typically depend on the specific protocol's reward structure, the amount of BTC staked, and network conditions. Detailed formulas or calculators provided by staking platforms can offer precise estimates.

Factors Affecting Bitcoin Staking Rewards:

- Total amount staked
- Network conditions
- Inflation rates of the PoS tokens
- Protocol-specific reward mechanisms

## Babylon Bitcoin Staking: An Overview
Babylon introduces a novel protocol for Bitcoin holders to stake directly on proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains without third-party custody or wrapping, enhancing the security and economic resilience of PoS systems. This mechanism is a significant leap forward, merging Bitcoin's value with PoS networks efficiently and securely.

The collaboration between Babylon and Ankr is central to this initiative. Ankr's development of Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) for staked Bitcoin ensures its seamless integration across PoS chains, maintaining liquidity and security. 

Key Features

- **Trustless and Scalable:** The protocol offers a decentralized environment for Bitcoin staking, ensuring staked assets are secure and recoverable as long as protocol guidelines are respected.
- **Economic Security:** Babylon's protocol provides economic security guarantees to PoS chains, allowing for efficient and secure unbonding of staked Bitcoin to maintain liquidity.
