🔗 OHMG: One Hot Modular Garbling

OHMG is explicitly designed for privacy-free authenticity-preserving applications. While the evaluator learns all cleartext wires, the protocol guarantees that outputs cannot be forged without possessing valid garblings for the corresponding inputs.

🔗 Trustless BTCVault 101

Unlike most other crypto assets, only 1% of Bitcoin is using DeFi, which is a pity for both Bitcoin and DeFi. Why so low?
In this article, we unfold the problem behind this low engagement and introduce Babylon’s solution to this problem: a trustless BTCVault protocol that allows native Bitcoin to use DeFi in a self-custodial and trustless way.

🔗 Bithoven: Formal Safety for Expressive Bitcoin Smart Contracts

The rigorous security model of Bitcoin’s UTXO architecture often comes at the cost of developer usability, forcing a reliance on manual stack manipulation that leads to critical financial vulnerabilities like signature malleability, unspendable states and unconstrained execution paths.

Without a hard fork, Bitcoin can’t natively verify the state transitions of a zkRollup. L1 gives you signatures, timelocks, hashlocks, and Taproot - not a general verifier.

BitVM is the most general workaround under that constraint.
