1/7 Let's get one thing straight: #Babylon does not reduce staking unbonding time for #Cosmos zones. Rather, Babylon is needed to make unbonding (long or short) secure with reliable timekeeping - something Tendermint alone can't always achieve even when everyone is honest.

More nostaglia: An unassuming email titled "SPAR solved" I sent to @sreeramkannan & colleagues, turned out to contain the optimal construction of coded Merkle tree to solve DA. This is my 1st paper on/for blockchain. Viltalik's note encouraged me to further explore crypto.

1/6 We've heard your concerns about "Babylon reduces stake unbonding time" and its potential impact on token price & IBC light clients. Let's clarify some misconceptions.

@sunnya97 @babylon_chain IBC heartbeat/timeout for all connections must be less than the unbonding period. Zones should be able to maintain an IBC connection for days, even weeks, without a heartbeat packet, for cases of spam attack or congestion. The longer this period the better it is for zones, full

7/7 Thus, the 21-day unbonding time may elapse much faster when it is needed the most. So, Babylon is NEEDED for this. Fancy a 21-day unbonding time? No problem! Every unstaker has to wait for 3K+ BTC blocks. Unlike Tendermint, there is no practical way to accelerate this.

6/7 Tendermint uses the votes' timestamps to track time. When under market pressure, every validator wants to unbond. They can accelerate time elapse by inflating their vote timestamps & accepting others' inflated votes. This is not accountable, nor requires collusion.

4/7 To avoid being slashed, malicious validators who want to fork the chain must do so after unbonding. Thanks to BTC timestamping, the forking will fail because no one will choose a fork with a later timestamp.

2/7 Before diving deeper, I should clarify that Babylon is developing a suite of protocols that extract different facets of BTC security to benefit Cosmos zones in various ways. BTC timestamping is just the 1st protocol, and unbonding time reduction is just one of its use cases.

3/7 OK, let’s get started. By timestamping blocks of a Cosmos zone onto BTC, Babylon enables: ✅ Security: a public and immutably ordered list of these blocks, even when under forking attacks ✅ Reliability: accurate timekeeping between blocks using BTC block intervals (10 mins)

5/7 But why does timekeeping matter? Doesn't Tendermint already reliably track it? Well, not necessarily.

5/6 However, with Babylon, BTC watches the associated Cosmos zone 24*7 for the IBC light client. Thus, the light client won't need a trusting period anymore. It can remain offline for however long it likes, and just follows the canonical headers observed by BTC when it comes back

2/6 To be clear, Babylon does not impose stake unbonding time reduction. Rather, the Cosmos zone decides its desired unbonding time (long or short), and Babylon ensures its secure and reliable execution, which Tendermint cannot guarantee even when people are honest.

6/6 In conclusion, Babylon provides secure & reliable execution of stake unbondings for Cosmos zones. It does not inherently reduce unbonding times nor causing adverse impacts on token prices or IBC light clients.

3/6 High market volatility. The argument: validators can unbond quicker & dump tokens. But with long unbonding times, validators can still quickly borrow & dump tokens, then repay later. Unbonding time isn't definitive in price volatility; free-range tokens in the market are.

4/6 Affecting IBC light clients. The argument: an IBC light client is removed if it is inactive for a period longer than its "trusting period", which is shorter than the unbonding time for security. Thus, a shorter unbonding time will cause more IBC light client removals.

Testnet will need to restart and wallet will need rework. Also, we prefer to use the default public Signet as it is the most reputable

@kapursanat @colemansmaher @0x_Osprey @babylon_chain @AlpenLabs Nope, Babylon node does not hold the secret key and publish it when it see fit. Only the staker knows the secret key. If staker tries to fork the PoS, it will need to double vote. These two votes will allow anyone to cryptographically extract the secret key.
