Slinky Network Integrates Babylon to Build Bitcoin Application Layer for AI

Securing Slinky Network with Bitcoin Security

While Slinky Network is designed to support several Bitcoin Layer2s and EVM-compatible chains for Micro AI dApp tokenization and trading, the Micro AI dApps are brought to life using the Slinky Hyperloop blockchain. This blockchain, created using the Cosmos SDK, is designed to create and host Micro AI dApps and the corresponding contracts and executables. It coordinates between DePIN Inference Nodes, who handle the off-chain AI inference, delivering the results to users who interact with the Micro AI dApps. This chain also facilitates micropayments to operators and includes validators to ensure the network’s integrity.

​​The integration with Babylon brings Bitcoin’s security to the Slinky Network. By utilizing Babylon Bitcoin staking and timestamping protocols, Slinky Network ensures that the execution environment remains reliable and tamper-proof. This integration significantly enhances the security and integrity of AI execution, crucial for off-chain AI inference processes.

Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol introduces an additional layer of cryptoeconomic security to Slinky Network, adding a substantial financial cost to deter potential attackers. When the execution is secure, it opens up new possibilities. Ensuring that the AI inference sent to on-chain or off-chain delivery is trustworthy is vital, especially for financial Micro AI dApps that handle funds. This secure environment enables the creation of innovative Micro AI dApps, including those that manage monetary transactions, expanding the potential use cases for Slinky Network’s platform.

Looking Forward

As we move forward, the integration with Babylon positions Slinky Network to be at the forefront of Web3 x AI. By combining Bitcoin’s security with our scalable and modular architecture, we are setting the stage for a scalable and performant Bitcoin application layer that is designed for AI. This will serve as a cornerstone for the next generation of digital tokenized AI applications. We are excited about the possibilities this collaboration brings and invite builders, miners, and visionaries to join us in our journey. Please reach out to us on gm@slinky.network!


About Babylon

Babylon is a project that designs Bitcoin security sharing protocols with a vision of building a Bitcoin-secured decentralized world. Its latest development is the world’s first trustless and self-custodial Bitcoin staking protocol,  which enables bitcoin holders to stake their BTC on Proof-of-Stake (PoS) systems such as PoS chains, L2s, Data Availability (DA) layers, oracles, etc, enabling them to earn yield without the need for third-party custody, bridge solutions, or wrapping services. Babylon’s approach combines the high security and wide adoption of Bitcoin with the efficiency and scalability of PoS systems, increasing Bitcoin’s utility. Babylon was founded in 2022 by Stanford Professor David Tse and Dr. Fisher Yu. Professor Tse is a member of the U.S. Academy of Engineering and is renowned as the inventor of the legendary proportional-fair scheduling algorithm for wireless communications. Babylon is led by a team of consensus protocol researchers and experienced layer 1 engineers from around the world.  

About Slinky Network

Slinky Network is a Bitcoin Application Layer tailored for AI, and secured by Babylon. With Slinky, creators can use modular components to create innovative Micro AI dApps and turn them into instant tradeables with zero liquidity seeding required. Micro AI dApp tokens can be traded against Bitcoin, BRC20, and Runes on the Slinky Exchange.
