Faster Integration
Overview
Challenge
If supporting Babylon staking inside a self-custodial hardware wallet was a strategic move, it was also a deep technical challenge.
Babylon’s protocol bridges two fundamentally different blockchain architectures:
Bitcoin’s UTXO model and Cosmos SDK’s Blockchain logic.
As a result, many wallets struggle with implementation and maintenance, delaying support and missing a massive revenue opportunity.
That’s without factoring in NGRAVE’s own product constraints: maintaining air-gapped security, local signing workflows, and a seamless UX for users staking Bitcoin for the first time.
Solution
NGRAVE addressed these challenges by integrating Adamik’s unified API to power its Bitcoin staking feature.
Instead of building and maintaining custom logic across Bitcoin and Cosmos SDK chains, NGRAVE used Adamik’s abstraction layer to handle Bitcoin locking transactions, Cosmos-based staking flows, and cross-chain reward management—all through a single API, without compromising UX or security.
Outcome
Time to Integrate
Maintenance offloaded
Future-proof
“When evaluating partners for Bitcoin staking, Adamik stood out immediately. Their abstraction layer was the only solution that could elegantly handle the Bitcoin logic and Cosmos SDK abstraction without adding complexity on our end. It was the right mix of technical depth and developer experience."

How It Works
Adamik radically simplifies how teams like NGRAVE integrate complex blockchain functionality. Instead of grappling with the deep technical differences between Bitcoin and Cosmos SDK (used by Babylon), developers interact with just two API endpoints, everything else is handled under the hood.
Adamik abstracts the intricate logic of both chains, orchestrates the flow between them, and delivers a seamless, production-ready experience. It’s not just an API, it’s foundational technology that transforms how blockchain development is done.
By removing the need to manage infrastructure, understand protocol-specific mechanics, or handle multi-chain coordination, Adamik enables tech teams to ship faster, safer, and with far less complexity. This is not a wrapper, it’s a paradigm shift.
Bring Bitcoin Staking to Your Users
Whether you’re building staking, simplifying multichain support, or consolidating infrastructure, Adamik’s Unified API helps you move faster and scale with less engineering lift. Let's talk!
What's Next
NGRAVE came for Babylon, and stayed for more. With Adamik’s API integration in place, the team is now shifting its broader blockchain infrastructure to Adamik to reduce maintenance overhead across supported chains.
A follow-up will explore the business impact and how Bitcoin staking is shaping NGRAVE’s long-term strategy.
Adamik is a Paris-based tech company offering a chain-agnostic blockchain API that streamlines multichain integration. Supporting 60+ networks, it enables read/write access through a single interface—no protocol-specific code or infrastructure required. With a non-custodial, developer-friendly design, Adamik simplifies Web3 development and accelerates innovation.
Founded in 2018, NGRAVE develops hardware wallets that prioritize offline security and user control. Its flagship device, the NGRAVE ZERO, is the world’s first EAL7-certified hardware wallet—operating fully air-gapped to protect private keys from any online exposure.
