Earn Union BTCfi Flywheel Points: Complete Guide to Bridging, Staking & LP Rewards

The Union BTCfi Opportunity You Can't Miss

Union has just launched their BTCfi Flywheel Points program, and it's a game-changer for anyone looking to participate in the emerging Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. By bridging Bitcoin liquid staking tokens (LSTs) from Ethereum to Babylon Genesis using Union's secure ZK-powered bridge, you can start earning points based on the value you bring to the network.

What is Union and Why Should You Care?

Union is a zero-knowledge interoperability layer designed for secure cross-chain communication. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on multisigs or validators, Union verifies entire chain consensus using ZK proofs and BLS signatures, eliminating middlemen and security compromises.


Key Features of Union:

  • Ultra-secure ZK-powered bridge connecting Ethereum, Babylon, and other networks

  • Sub-second transfer times for frictionless asset movement

  • Support for any execution environment (EVM, Cosmos, MoveVM, BitVM)

  • Battle-tested with 8M+ testnet transfers and 50M total simulated transfers

Union is positioned to become the foundational layer connecting the Babylon BTCfi ecosystem with the rest of the modular multichain world. Their BTCfi Flywheel Campaign is designed to reward users who help grow the network by bridging assets and providing liquidity.


Recent Developments:

Union is now live and connected to Babylon Genesis, Corn (Arbitrum Orbit), BOB (OP Stack), Ethereum, and Babylon BSNs. The points program launch coincides with this major milestone.

How to Start Earning Union BTCfi Flywheel Points

Follow these steps to start accumulating points in the Union BTCfi ecosystem:

1. Mint Bitcoin LSTs on Ethereum

First, you'll need to get Bitcoin LSTs (Liquid Staking Tokens) on Ethereum:

  1. Visit one of these protocols:

  • Bedrock for uniBTC

  • Solv for SolvBTC

  • Pump for PumpBTC

  • Other supported LSTs include LBTC and stBTC

  1. Follow their process to stake your BTC or WBTC

  2. Receive your BTC LST tokens (uniBTC, SolvBTC, PumpBTC, etc.)

2. (Optional) Boost Your Multiplier with SatLayer

For additional points multiplier, restake your BTC LSTs on Ethereum with SatLayer:

  1. Go to SatLayer

  2. Connect your wallet

  3. Deposit your BTC LSTs to receive satLSTs (like satUniBTC)

  4. This step adds a 1.5x multiplier to your points

3. Bridge Your LSTs to Babylon via Union

This is the critical step that makes your assets eligible for the points program:

  1. Visit btc.union.build

  2. Connect your wallet

  3. Select Ethereum as the source chain

  4. Choose your BTC LST as the asset

  5. Select Babylon as the destination

  6. Enter the amount you want to bridge

  7. Confirm the transaction

Note: Only LSTs bridged through Union qualify for the points program. Direct transfers to Babylon through other means won't earn points.

4. Explore Additional Opportunities on Babylon

Once your assets are on Babylon, you have several options to increase your points:

Option A: Liquid Stake BABY with Escher

  1. Visit Escher Finance

  2. Connect your wallet

  3. Stake BABY tokens to receive eBABY (adds a 1.5x multiplier)

Option B: Provide Liquidity on Tower

  1. Go to Tower

  2. Connect your wallet

  3. Choose a BTC LST pool to provide liquidity

  4. Deposit your tokens (adds a 2.0x multiplier)

  5. You can do single-sided or double-sided LP positions

Option C: Combine Strategies for Maximum Points

  1. Liquid stake half of your BABY to get eBABY

  2. LP your BABY/eBABY pair on Tower

  3. Bridge satLSTs from Ethereum and LP them on Tower

Example Scenarios (per $100 value):

Basic Bridging + LP:

  • Bridge $100 of BTC LSTs via Union (1.0x)

  • LP on Tower (2.0x)

  • Total: 2.0 points per $100 per hour = 1,440 points per month

BABY Staking + LP:

  • Liquid stake $50 BABY to get eBABY (1.5x for half)

  • LP $50 BABY + $50 eBABY on Tower (2.0x)

  • Total: 2.5 points per $100 per hour = 1,800 points per month

Maximum Multiplier:

  • Bridge $100 of satUniBTC via Union (1.0x)

  • SatLayer multiplier (1.5x)

  • LP on Tower (2.0x)

  • Total: 3.0 points per $100 per hour = 2,160 points per month

FAQs


What's the difference between Union XP and Union Points?

XP rewards those who contribute time and effort to the Union ecosystem, while points reward those who provide liquidity and value to the network. They are entirely separate programs with no equivalency between them.


Do I need to bridge through Union to be eligible for points?

Yes, all ERC-20 LSTs must be bridged via Union to be eligible for the points program. Direct transfers to Babylon through other means won't qualify.


How can I track my points?

Union will soon release a dedicated Points Dashboard where you can track your points in real-time and review your asset history.


Will early participants receive any additional benefits?

Union has mentioned that retroactive rewards are in the works for early adopters, suggesting that getting involved sooner rather than later could be advantageous.


Can I participate if I don't have Bitcoin or BTC LSTs?

Yes, you can also participate by liquid staking BABY tokens on Escher to receive eBABY and providing liquidity on Tower.


Are there any risks involved?

As with any DeFi activity, there are smart contract risks, bridge risks, and market volatility risks. Only participate with funds you can afford to lose.
