Babylon
Babylon and Agoric forge a powerful alliance: Transforming blockchain development
Babylon and Agoric are joining forces to revolutionize blockchain development, creating a future that is secure and developer-friendly. This strategic integration is designed to redefine industry standards, introducing innovative features and solutions to meet the growing needs of decentralized applications.
Bitcoin's timestamp protocol: Improving security across all chains
At the heart of this collaboration is Babylon's introduction of the Bitcoin Timestamping Protocol. This innovative feature maximizes the security of smart contracts and transactions by timestamping events from Agoric to the trusted Bitcoin network. The result is a level of security comparable to traditional Bitcoin transactions, which is a game changer for decentralized finance (DeFi) and supply chain tracking.
Trust and reliability in integrated chains
By utilizing Bitcoin's security as a timestamp server, Babylon and Agoric increase trust and reliability of timestamped data in integrated chains. This not only strengthens data integrity, but also opens up new opportunities for a wide range of applications, especially in the rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.
Efficient Stake-Bonding Messaging System
By leveraging Bitcoin's security as a timestamp server, Babylon and Agorik increase the trust and reliability of timestamped data on integrated chains. This not only strengthens data integrity, but also opens up new opportunities for a wide range of applications, especially in the rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.
Efficient member-to-member messaging
Babylon implements an efficient messaging system, reducing the time it takes to unlock bids. This not only ensures high liquidity in the ecosystem, but also facilitates smooth and fast transactions. The focus on efficiency demonstrates a commitment to creating a seamless experience for both developers and users.
Developer-centric solution: Connecting accessibility and security
The collaboration between Babylon and Agoric aims to create a developer-centric solution that meets the industry's need for fast and secure development of decentralized applications. Agoric's commitment to making blockchain development accessible, especially using JavaScript, lowers barriers for developers. With a reusable smart contract library modeled after leading JavaScript libraries, Agoric enables developers to easily implement unique blockchain solutions.
Is it possible that hedge funds like Blackrock can load bitcoin immediately upon ETF approval?
Is it possible that hedge funds like Blackrock can load bitcoin immediately upon ETF approval? Is there a rule where they can't buy until their customers buy into their funds? I imagine if a bunch of ETFs get approved at once that they aren't going to wait around for other funds to buy in unless there's some rule preventing them from buying bitcoin. If the ETFs get approved it's almost like a stamp of approval on the asset and should remove any hesitancy from investment firms to start loading up. Am I stupid or what am I missing?
I'm trying too look at the other possibilities from what others are saying about BTC ETF approval is a sell the news event because funds won't come in till months later.
