At Babylon, we envision a future where Bitcoin and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chains thrive together. Our mission is to build a Bitcoin-driven decentralized world by evolving Bitcoin into a trusted security backbone for PoS chains, delivering yields for bitcoin holders while fostering an integrated, secure, and decentralized economy. We trace our genesis to a transformative research paper on Bitcoin security, an original work co-authored by our co-founders, David Tse and Fisher Yu, the founder of EigenLayer, Sreeram Kannan and co-authors. Their combined intellect and foresight have set the cornerstone of Babylon. In a testament to our dedication to advancing the field, our research paper has been accepted by the highly-respected 2023 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy - a significant global platform for security discourse. The project is led by a team of consensus protocol researchers from Stanford and experienced layer 1 engineers from around the world. Babylon’s mission is to scale Bitcoin to secure the decentralized world. To achieve this, Babylon utilizes the three primary facets of Bitcoin: Bitcoin as an asset, its reliable timestamping service, its most censorship-resistant blockspace in the world. To leverage these facets, Babylon is developing three innovative security-sharing protocols: Bitcoin Staking Protocol, Bitcoin Timestamping Protocol, and Bitcoin Data Availability Protocol. Through these pioneering protocols, Babylon envisions a more secure and decentralized future.

Casa was founded to help people own, secure, and manage their private keys safely and easily – without worry if they’re doing it right. We help people secure their digital wealth with more than one private key. That means making a single mistake doesn’t result in lost funds. Casa members can choose from a range of security levels — from a simple mobile wallet to a high-security vault. As time goes on, the use of private keys will become more widespread. We envision a future where private keys will secure everything important to us: money, identity, communications, and personal data. We are excited to continue our journey toward a world where people can take back control of their money, savings, and digital lives, and we appreciate all of the Casa members, teammates, and supporters who continue to make our work possible.
