OKX Introduces Exclusive ‘Babylon Pioneer Pass Event’ in Collaboration with Babylon, Offering Free Pioneer Pass NFT Minting for the First 100,000 Users Who Stake on Babylon Testnet

OKX today announced the launch of its ‘Babylon Pioneer Pass Event,’ giving users who access the Babylon Testnet and stake any amount of Signet Bitcoin (sBTC) the opportunity to claim Babylon’s Bitcoin Pioneer Pass NFT. To qualify for a spot, users must access the Babylon Testnet and stake any amount of Signet Bitcoin (sBTC).

The event kicks off on February 28 and continues until March 6. Following the event, starting from March 7, participants who have been whitelisted will have the ability to mint their Bitcoin Pioneer Pass NFT using the OKX Wallet and their whitelisted address.

The process of participating in this event is straightforward and involves the following steps:

Firstly, users will need to prepare by setting up their OKX and Keplr Wallets. These wallets will be crucial for interacting with the Babylon Testnet and the subsequent claiming of sBTC and BBN.Following the wallet setup, users can then claim the sBTC and BBN on Babylon’s Official Discord. These tokens will be needed for staking in the Babylon Testnet.Finally, users will need to access Babylon’s official website, where users can actively engage, stake their tokens and claim their whitelist spots.

Participation in the event offers a multitude of benefits. Users can engage actively with the Babylon Testnet, which in turn enhances their understanding of the Babylon protocol and its functionalities. Furthermore, participants contribute to the development and evolution of the Babylon protocol by being active users.

The ‘Babylon Pioneer Pass Event‘ is a result of OKX’s partnership with Babylon, a trustless Bitcoin staking protocol. The Bitcoin Pioneer Pass, Babylon’s first commemorative Non-Fungible Token (NFT), is a highlight of this event, representing a significant milestone for both OKX and Babylon.

Free program will provide access to affordable medications to Sheriffs’ employees across the nation

PLYMOUTH, Mass., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Many people, including those with full-time jobs, often struggle to cover deductibles and copays for prescription drugs, even with insurance.  That is why Support Our Sheriffs Foundation™ and BI2 Technologies™ are proud to announce they have partnered with SingleCare® to create Sheriff Rx™.  

Sheriff Rx™ will provide access to affordable prescription medications, ensuring greater health and financial stability.

The Sheriff Rx™ prescription discount card is completely free. The discounts and savings on medications are provided voluntarily by more than 35,000 participating pharmacies that agree to provide prices similar to what they give large insurance companies.

The card has no eligibility requirements and is available to anyone. There are no forms to fill out, waiting period or registration.

If employees and their families already have prescription drug coverage, Sheriff Rx™ can be used to obtain savings on prescription drugs that may be excluded by your insurance plan or are not covered because you have exceeded your insurance plan’s maximum limits. In some instances, members might find that the Sheriff Rx™ price is lower than many insurance copayment amounts.

SingleCare® partners with some of the most respected community groups and health care providers in the country, including United Way Worldwide, National Council for Behavioral Health, Mental Health America, and American Heart Association, among thousands of other community organizations.

“When people can afford their prescriptions, they end up saving money on more expensive items like emergency room visits and hospitalizations,” said BI2 Technologies Chief Relationship Office John Leonard.  “We are excited to work with the Support Our Sheriffs Foundation™ and SingleCare® to provide Sheriff Rx™ at no cost to Sheriffs’ employees and their families.”

SingleCare® is accepted by major pharmacies, including CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Albertsons, Kroger and Walmart, as well as many local retailers.

“As we work to support our Sheriffs’ Offices across the nation, it is crucial that every employee and their families have access to affordable medications and are empowered to take control of their health,” said Support Our Sheriffs Executive Director Mark Lamb. “Sheriff Rx™ is designed to do just that.”
