Insights What is Chain Abstraction? Arriving at a Formal Definition TL;DR for non-nerds: “Chain abstraction” is typically used to refer to infrastructure that allows anyone to use decentralized applications without being aware of the manual steps associated with interacting with their underlying chains (such as bridging assets, managing multiple gas tokens, balances etc.) To continue impulsing this technology—which
Product We're Joining Forces with Babylon to Secure our L1! New Proof-of-Stake chains face a critical, yet often overlooked, security risk due to their native tokens’ nature. These tokens, typically the sole assets securing the network, are often subject to high volatility, which can reduce the security and integrity of the chain alongside its validator set. Meanwhile, as the most
