Bringing Bitcoin security to the Cosmos Hub with Babylon

Dear @sbneo2022, there’s actually a lot more to this story of mutual benefits between Babylon and the AEZ than meets the eye. Among those, we have listed a few in our recent coverage of the project we made as part of our educational mandate towards our delegators:

  • Babylon as a de-facto bitcoin oracle for the AEZ (and the whole Cosmos by extension via interchain queries) which critical role will likely require the best security guarantees to be accepted as such. Using the well established reputation of the Hub validators as well as the already liquid and decentralized supply of ATOMs makes it by far the best offering in the Cosmos today.

  • The Capital/Currency duality problem and the complementary role that Bitcoin & ATOM can play to achieve to this balance. As quoted from the following video: Like Yng and Yang, BTC and ATOM are assets that oppose but complement each other. This also brings the two parts of the role of both currency and PoS capital together.

  • The Security Aggregation benefits, as BTC and ATOM blockchain have two consensus that make opposite compromises. Bitcoin does all-in on the Livness where ATOM does all-in on finality time that is simply instantaneous. The security compromises on the capital to slash are thus opposed, one slow and heavy, the other fast and light. If the Hub needs to slash with a big capital, BTC will prove very useful and if it needs to slash an average amount but instantly, ATOM will be the first source of security. They are two sources of safety at opposite size and speed and this is what makes it a perfect mix.


For those who are interested into the video coverage, here is a link you can use:


Before we wrap it up, we would like to profit from the opportunity to have a Babylon Team member here to let you know that we still have to conduct our due diligence and therefore we would like to ask if you would be opened to share 30m of your time with us to discuss your project’s vision and strategy. Feel free to send us a message at contact@pro-delegators.com.

Thank you for your time!
