Babylon · interactive mechanism simulation

Bitcoin is locked in a self-custodial script UTXO with a timelock path and a slashing path, delegated to a finality provider that signs Babylon Genesis blocks with an extractable one-time signature (EOTS). Sign two conflicting blocks and anyone can extract the key and burn the stake — on Bitcoin, with no smart contract. Edit the parameters, or trigger an equivocation.

Illustrative simulation. Mirrors the researched mechanism (timelocked staking UTXOs, EOTS-signed finality providers, key-extraction slashing, capped phased launch), including forced double-signing via "Trigger equivocation" — but staker counts, amounts, and timing are randomized for visualization, not live onchain data.
