SatLayer at Babylon Hacker House: $50,000 in grants for building BVSes
As a sponsor at Babylon Hacker House, we’re committing $50,000 in grants to support developers building innovative dApps and infrastructure on SatLayer.
Do you want to leverage Bitcoin's shared security for your dApp or infrastructure project, but find that Babylon's EOTS slashable safety mechanism isn’t compatible with your needs?
Look no further than SatLayer, the Bitcoin-native restaking layer built on top of Babylon. SatLayer enables developers to programmatically specify any slashing condition for restaked Bitcoin, bringing the Babylon ecosystem to feature parity with EigenLayer.
In short, any AVS that can be built on EigenLayer can also be easily created as a Bitcoin Validated Service (BVS) on SatLayer.
As a sponsor at Babylon Hacker House, we’re committing $50,000 in grants to support developers building innovative dApps and infrastructure on SatLayer.
To qualify, your demo project should be built on SatLayer and meet the Babylon Hacker House’s requirements.
