Babylon
About
Babylon, built on the Cosmos SDK, leverages Bitcoin's security to enhance Proof-of-Stake chains. Developed by Stanford researchers and layer 1 developers, it uses Bitcoin for trust and timestamping, improving the security of smaller blockchains without sacrificing autonomy. Babylon supports Bitcoin staking, fast unbonding, bootstrapping new zones, transaction protection, and censorship resistance. Its architecture, incorporating Bitcoin and IBC for checkpointing, boosts security for consumer zones and applications, making it a pivotal solution for blockchain ecosystem security.
