Restaked BTC is a group of DeFi protocols that let Bitcoin holders put their BTC to work without selling it. Instead of leaving coins idle, users deposit BTC and get a token that represents the position. That token can earn rewards from staking or restaking systems, and in many cases it can be used on other chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain or Core.
Most of these dApps make money by taking a share of the yield, charging fees on minting, redemption or bridging, or by running a wider platform around the token. Lombard LBTC and SolvBTC LSTs issue liquid tokens for use in DeFi. PumpBTC and Lorenzo stBTC focus on Babylon restaking rewards, while Chakra is built around settlement and bridging of BTC assets. GTBTC is a different model, a receipt token tied to BTC staked on Gate's exchange.
When comparing options, start with custody and trust: who holds the underlying BTC, and how can you redeem it? Then look at TVL, chain support, audit history, and how the yield is generated and paid. Larger names such as Lombard LBTC and SolvBTC LSTs have more deposits, but size is no guarantee of safety, and any protocol that has reported a security incident, like b14g, deserves extra scrutiny. This page is for information only, not financial advice. Check that these services are legal where you live and that you are of legal age.

Frequently asked questions
What is restaked BTC?
Restaked BTC refers to Bitcoin-backed tokens or deposits that earn rewards by securing other networks or services, often through protocols such as Babylon, Core or similar systems. The BTC is usually wrapped, staked or locked, and you receive a token that represents your position. The yield comes from those security or service rewards, not from Bitcoin itself.
Is a restaked BTC token the same as owning Bitcoin?
Not necessarily. Lombard LBTC and SolvBTC LSTs are issued as tokens that work on other chains, such as Ethereum. Some, like GTBTC, are receipt tokens for BTC staked on an exchange, and others bridge native BTC across chains. Check how each token is issued and who controls the underlying BTC.
What are the main risks of restaking Bitcoin?
Main risks include smart contract bugs, custody and bridge risk, depeg risk if the token trades below its BTC backing, and slashing or service failures in restaking systems. Centralized issuers add counterparty risk. The b14g listing is a reminder that incidents happen: it reported an unauthorized transfer of about 97M CORE.
How much yield can I earn from restaked BTC?
Yield depends on the protocol, the chain and market conditions, and it can change at any time. Some rewards come from staking incentives that may be paid in other tokens or points. Compare how the yield is generated and paid before relying on any advertised rate, and never assume it is guaranteed.
What does TVL tell me about these protocols?
TVL is the value of assets deposited in a protocol. A higher figure suggests more users have trusted it with funds, but it does not prove safety. At the time of writing, Lombard LBTC has about $569.5M and GTBTC about $277.6M, while some others are far smaller. Weigh TVL alongside audits, custody design and track record.
Are there age or legal requirements for using these dApps?
These are DeFi tools, not casino games, but they still involve real financial risk, and rules differ by country. Check that using such services is legal where you live and that you meet any age requirement. Some providers apply KYC, and you should follow those rules rather than try to get around them.
