HashKey Cloud, the Web3 infrastructure service provider under HashKey Group (HK.3887), said it has reached a technical partnership with Bitcoin staking infrastructure company Babylon. As part of the arrangement, HashKey Cloud will integrate Babylon’s trustless Bitcoin vault and provide node operations, validation, and infrastructure support for the TBV network.
The partnership centers on TBV infrastructure
According to the announcement, the integration is intended to let native Bitcoin be used in onchain applications as a technical component without wrapping, cross-chain bridges, or intermediaries.
Previously, Bitcoin holders who wanted to use native BTC in onchain applications typically had to wrap the asset or move it through a cross-chain bridge. With TBV integrated, the companies said native Bitcoin can be used without those steps.
HashKey Cloud said the setup links the Bitcoin ecosystem with the Ethereum network and adds to its institutional-grade infrastructure service stack.
Executives outline the role of the collaboration
Babylon co-founder Fisher Yu said, “This partnership allows HashKey Cloud to provide node and validation support within TBV infrastructure, helping improve network resilience and institutional-grade infrastructure capabilities. TBV’s trustless, self-custodial design offers a technical path for exploring onchain Bitcoin applications.”
Leo Li, CEO of HashKey OnChain, said, “This is not only a technical integration, but also an important step in connecting the Bitcoin ecosystem with institutional-grade infrastructure. We are pleased to work with Babylon to provide node and infrastructure support for the TBV network and help clients access the native Bitcoin ecosystem more efficiently.”
HashKey Cloud says the integration broadens technical connectivity
For HashKey Cloud, the company said the integration also points to deeper technical connections with custodians, wallets, and licensed exchanges. It also expands the company’s ecosystem collaboration with Babylon and is meant to give clients more complete technical support.
