Today we release BABE, a new Groth16 proof verification protocol for Bitcoin. It improves the state-of-the-art by three orders of magnitude in setup and storage costs. eprint.iacr.org/2026/065.pdf BABE (BAbylon-BErkeley) is a synthesis of two key ideas: Witness encryption on linear pairing, and Argo MAC, a recently introduced garbling primitive. Witness encryption on linear pairing reduces the complex pairing operations in Groth16 verification to a single scalar multiplication on the BN254 elliptic curve. The single scalar multiplication can further be transformed into a vector homomorphic MAC, which can be efficiently computed by Argo MAC. BABE will be launched as part of Babylon's alpha-testnet for the Trustless Bitcoin Vault in February. We thank: - our Berkeley collaborators @SanjamGarg and Dimitris Kolonelos for teaching us so much about witness encryption - @liameagen and @therealyingtong for sharing their amazing work on Argo MAC - the Babylon engineering team, for turning our theoretical ideas into a real system with demonstrable performance gains Check out the paper and give us feedback!

Today we’re sharing a major milestone for Babylon. @a16zcrypto is backing the Babylon Project with $15M to support the development and scaling of Babylon's new protocol Trustless Bitcoin Vaults. The BTCVaults are designed to provide new, functional utility for the BABY token through the token’s intended role in the usage and operation of the BTCVaults.
