# How LiaBTC Earns Bitcoin Yield?

LiaBTC earns yield by staking BTC on Babylon via the COBO API. The staked BTC is used to secure Proof of Stake (PoS) chains and generate yield.

The staked BTC supports the network's security budget, and stakers are rewarded with token emissions from the network that it secures.

It is important to note that LiaBTC yield accrues based on Bitcoin blocks, not on cycles like LiSTX or LiALEX.

### How long does Withdrawal Takes?

Babylon has 7-day (\~1,008 blocks) unbonding wait upon request.

However, the withdrawal process would be similar to LiSTX withdrawal process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lisalab.io/~/changes/nTd2kdqu4i8fnOkHTWmm/supported-tokens/bitcoin-usdbtc/how-liabtc-earns-bitcoin-yield.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
