Focus of Babylon Phase 2 Testnet

The primary goal of the Babylon Phase 2 testnet is to introduce a Babylon PoS chain secured by Signet Bitcoin and Babylon stakes. This phase will test:

• Babylon’s operational stability by engaging key participants, including:
  • Signet Bitcoin stakers
  • Finality providers
  • CometBFT validators
