What is Pivotal?

Pivotal is pioneering the infrastructure layer for the Intention Economy, where Bitcoin, AI, and user sovereignty converge to turn ambition into autonomous action. Through its Bitcoin Productivity Stack -- a fusion of institutional custody (Ceffu), Bitcoin-secured networks (Babylon protocol), and with PivotalChain activated by rollup-as-a-service leaders (AltLayer) -- Pivotal transforms static Bitcoin into programmable fuel for decentralised apps, AI agents, and trustless markets.

With AgentBento (Agents on-chain), EarnTV (intent monetisation), and plusBTC (Bitcoin liquidity), Pivotal empowers users and enterprises to own the upside of their goals, data, and capital. Backed by LIF, Babylon Labs, the former head of Binance Research and the founder of WBTC, Pivotal is bridging Bitcoin’s $2T market cap to a future where technology works for you, not on you.

The Power of Bitcoin Staking

Historically, staking has been limited to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks like Ethereum, leaving Bitcoin's trillion-dollar market cap untapped for yield generation. has changed this paradigm by introducing trustless, self-custodial Bitcoin staking directly on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Through Babylon's groundbreaking technology, Pivotal enables Bitcoin holders to:

  • Stake Bitcoin without wrapping or bridging

  • Maintain true Bitcoin security

  • Earn sustainable protocol revenue

  • Preserve complete asset sovereignty

How Does Pivotal Work?

The magic of Pivotal lies in its unique architecture, which we have termed the Bitcoin Productivity Stack:

  1. Bitcoin-Secured Network: Powered by , Pivotal operates as a Bitcoin Secured Network (BSN), leveraging Bitcoin's unparalleled security while generating protocol revenue.

  2. plusBTC: When you stake your Bitcoin with Pivotal, you receive plusBTC - a yield-bearing token that's always redeemable 1:1 for your original Bitcoin. This isn't just another wrapped token; it's your key to earning protocol revenue.

  3. Institutional-Grade Security: Through our partnership with , your staked Bitcoin enjoys the same level of security as leading institutional vaults. Every Bitcoin in the system is fully backed and secured.

What Makes Pivotal Different?

Native Bitcoin Security

Pivotal leverages Babylon's advanced cryptographic techniques and Bitcoin scripts to enable staking directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. This means your assets maintain Bitcoin's fundamental security properties while generating yield.

True Protocol Revenue

The yield you earn isn't based on lending or trading - it comes directly from network activity. This creates a more sustainable and transparent revenue model aligned with network growth.

Institutional Infrastructure

We've built Pivotal on the most robust infrastructure in the industry:

  • Babylon's Bitcoin staking technology

  • PivotalChain, powered by Arbitrum Orbit with Blitz Finality (AltLayer)

  • Ceffu's institutional-grade custody

Why This Matters

Bitcoin's $2T market capitalisation represents an enormous pool of dormant capital. By enabling Bitcoin holders to earn protocol revenue through staking, Pivotal creates a new paradigm for Bitcoin utility that benefits the entire ecosystem:

  • Institutions can maintain Bitcoin treasury positions while earning yield

  • Individual holders can participate in network growth

  • The broader Bitcoin ecosystem gains increased utility and adoption

Getting Started with Pivotal

Using Pivotal is straightforward:

  • Receive plusBTC (1:1 ratio)

  • Start earning protocol revenue

  • Redeem for Bitcoin whenever you want

Looking Forward

This is just the beginning of Pivotal's journey to revolutionise Bitcoin's role in the global economy. In our next post, we'll take a deeper dive into the mechanics of Bitcoin staking and explore how Babylon's technology is making this innovation possible.
