CORN is an innovative Layer 2 solution for Ethereum that uses Bitcoin as its primary fuel. CORN boosts transaction efficiency by integrating the VeCHAIN Super Yield Network and the Crop Circle system while creating new DeFi opportunities for Bitcoin holders. The project uses $BTCN, a token tied 1:1 to Bitcoin for fuel, and $CORN as its governance token. CORN also includes a Kernels point system, encouraging users to contribute by depositing assets, completing tasks, and inviting others. Backed by experienced DeFi experts and major investors, CORN aims to bridge the Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems and drive innovation in BTCFi.

Similar to the traditional liquidity token schemes for ETH, BTC liquidity staking aims to function like a savings account for Bitcoin, allowing users to deposit and withdraw at any time while earning interest. Additionally, the liquidity staking tokens can be used to earn returns in other DeFi projects (e.g., providing liquidity, lending, etc.). Staking on Babylon can be compared to a fixed-term deposit, offering higher returns but with less flexibility for withdrawals.

The Bitcoin restaking sector is rapidly evolving, aiming to enhance Bitcoin's liquidity and capital efficiency. Projects like Babylon, Chakra, Lombard, Lorenzo, and Solv Protocol have introduced innovative staking mechanisms that allow users to earn additional yields while maintaining asset security. These protocols employ various technical approaches, such as on-chain self-custody, centralized custody, and MPC cross-chain bridges, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. With the launch of Babylon's mainnet, market interest in re-staking has significantly increased, and BTCFi is projected to become a hundred-billion-dollar market in the future. However, this field still faces challenges related to technical complexity and security.

As the first universal security network built on Bitcoin re-staking, Pell Network aims to leverage Bitcoin's robust security foundation for all AVS, becoming a powerful booster for BTCFi prosperity. This article explores the project's development prospects, the importance and necessity of AVS sharing Bitcoin's strong security foundation, and the operational logic of the project. The solution is not limited to building a specific product but rather establishes a decentralized, trust-free market. On one hand, it offers diverse staking options and re-staking mechanisms to enhance Bitcoin's network's economic and security benefits; on the other hand, it supports the creation of lightweight and large-scale decentralized components, providing cost-effective solutions for the infrastructure and application security of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Bitcoin's proof-of-work mechanism limits holders from earning yields directly through staking, despite Bitcoin's dominant position in market value. A significant amount of Bitcoin remains underutilized. Through the Master Protocol, users can stake Bitcoin on various Layer 2 solutions and receive LST as their staking certificate. This allows users to reinvest their LST in multiple scenarios without compromising liquidity, ensuring returns. By adopting the re-staking protocol, users can further stake LST to earn LRT, enhancing their investment capabilities and asset liquidity.
