## Description

Babylon is a new Cosmos chain which brings Bitcoin security to the Cosmos ecosystem and beyond. In this talk, I will describe 1) the technology we have built that enables us to scale to support hundreds and thousands of IBC-enabled chains; 2) use cases of Bitcoin security such as securing large transactions and reducing the stake unbonding time from weeks to less than a day; 3) our current integration efforts with many chains in Cosmos and beyond.
