Protocol Description

PumpBTC serves as a Liquid Staking Solution for Babylon. Its mission is to bring DeFi into the Bitcoin ecosystem, driven by an ecosystem-centric approach and supported by seasoned DeFi experts and industry-leading partners.

By abstracting complexities, PumpBTC facilitates effortless collaboration between users and Babylon. Users can stake into Babylon with a single action through PumpBTC, immediately receiving liquidity tokens without waiting periods.

Inspired by the “pump” meme culture in the Bitcoin community, PumpBTC aims to help BTC holders maximize yields through Babylon’s liquid staking - essentially rebuilding WBTC/BTCB with native yield.

the gauge address you mention (0xabD1bA45Cb751D259F66fED1FF5f0E205F5eA907) is a gauge for the pumpbtc/cbbtc pool, not wbtc/pumpbtc

The correct root gauge is 0xdfad195f91e1591ae8eb4c1c7183185cef58864d - I updated the proposal accordingly
