Babylon is expanding access to Trustless Bitcoin Vaults by integrating with Ledger Once the integration is live in H2 this year, BTCVault transactions can be authorized directly from a Ledger device using Clear Signing, allowing 8 million Ledger signers to review and confirm vault operations on a secure hardware screen. Trustless Bitcoin Vaults are anchored on the Bitcoin base layer and enables external applications to confirm that the Bitcoin remains in place, enforce collateralization conditions, and execute unlock or liquidation rules through cryptographic mechanisms rather than discretionary control. By combining Babylon’s vault architecture with Ledger’s secure signing infrastructure, BTCVault workflows can connect with the hardware security that many Bitcoin holders already rely on for self-custody. As part of the broader rollout, Ledger devices will also support Babylon’s native asset, BABY, on Ledger devices. More details in our latest blog: babylonlabs.io/blog/babylon-a…

The state of gaming in crypto is depressing. Is there no creative way to create a proper (fun) game mechanic with it?

Unbelievable. @Twitter is shadowbanning Aztec for mentioning the word "pr*vacy" in our Aztec Connect product announcement thread. This is exactly why we're fighting to enable fundamental human rights on a decentralized, censorship-resistant network.

The official Aztec Connect Launch countdown has begun. On June 6th, our system supporting cheap, private transactions on Ethereum mainnet goes live. But a lot has to happen before then. Here's the 3-2-1-go for Private DeFi:
