Babylon Report Babylon offers a suite of security protocols designed to enhance and scale Bitcoin's capabilities. The core idea behind Babylon is to tap into the capital locked in Bitcoin and use it to secure Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chains. One of the fundamental issues that Babylon addresses is the vulnerability of PoS chains with less capital. The lesser the capital securing a PoS chain, the more susceptible it becomes to attacks. This presents a significant security risk for these chains...

As the modular vision advances, the proliferation of rollups and new chains will become increasingly evident. While this significantly enhances scaling and interoperability across these various networks, it also introduces fragmentation and adds complexity for users and developers alike. Consequently, navigating the on-chain landscape becomes a daunting task, forcing participants to constantly adapt to these ever-evolving mechanisms.OverviewInitia is a 'network for interwoven rollups,&ap...

EigenDA Scaling has been a central theme of blockchains and smart contract platforms for almost a decade now. More recently, we have seen data availability solutions come to market in order to increase the throughput of blockchains, such as Celestia. More recently, we have announced that we are taking a step further into the data availability sector by participating in Eigenlayer’s data availability solution, EigenDA.

Execution, Consensus and Data AvailabilityCelestia is a modular blockchain that decouples the consensus and execution layers, which are traditionally intertwined in monolithic blockchains. Celestia's architecture is not just an incremental change but a fundamental rethinking of how blockchains are structured, aiming to serve as a foundational layer for both L1s and L2s. To better understand how Celestia decouples consensus and execution, it’s important to have a basic understanding of bl...

SEDA is a decentralized modular data layer designed to bring data from the real world onto the blockchain. It is a multichain, permissionless protocol that connects any on-chain network to real-world data. This enables the integration and use of external events and data in smart contracts which vastly expands the potential design space. Overview Blockchains have traditionally been isolated networks, essentially a computer with no internet connection. They can access and act upon any data avai...
