Babylon Labs says it has built a system using BitVM3 that allows native Bitcoin to be used as trustless collateral for borrowing on Ethereum, but its trustless design raises questions. A co-founder of Bitcoin infrastructure company, Babylon Labs, claims to have built a system that allows for native Bitcoin to be used as trustless collateral to borrow on the Ethereum blockchain. In a Wednesday X post, Babylon Labs co-founder and Stanford University professor David Tse claimed Babylon built a proof-of-concept allowing for native Bitcoin (BTC) “to be used trustlessly as collateral to borrow on Ethereum for the first time.” The comments follow Babylon’s release of a white paper in early August, outlining what it calls a Bitcoin trustless vault system. The system leverages the Bitcoin smart contract verification system BitVM3 to lock BTC in per-user vaults, where withdrawals (redemption or liquidation) are gated by cryptographic proofs of external smart contract state verified on Bitcoin.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s national alliance faces a tough regional election in the state of Bihar next month, due to youth unemployment and distrust over voter rolls, which could pose risks to his coalition that relies on regional partners. Bihar, in eastern India, is one of the country’s poorest states and its third most populous, with over 130 million people. Its chief minister, Nitish Kumar, has previously sided with both Modi and the opposition, but is currently a key partner in Modi’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The state is part of a politically crucial heartland region and any cracks within the NDA in November’s assembly vote in Bihar could threaten Modi’s coalition, with elections to follow within months in the states of Assam, West Bengal, and Tamil Nadu. Modi’s national alliance, which has 293 out of 543 seats in the Parliament, has a strong voter base only in Assam. Women are a key voting bloc in tight poll The Vote Vibe agency said its opinion poll in Bihar showed the NDA had a...

In north central Nigeria’s Muslim-majority state of Kwara, where religious traditions shape daily life, a group of girls are challenging cultural norms by playing soccer. They’ve embraced the game’s team spirit, competitive thrill, plus the highs and lows of winning and losing, all whilst trying to ignore the disapproval of those who consider it unsuitable for women who choose to dress modestly. As Maryam Muhammed laces up her boots and heads to soccer training at a local school in Ilorin, she feels the sweltering heat — made worse by her hijab and leggings — as well as the scorn from some in the local community. Muhammed, 17, regularly hears taunts as she walks to her training sessions with the Model Queens Football Academy. “They tell me I won’t achieve anything. But I believe I will achieve something big,” she said. Despite the discomfort, it is important to her to cover up when she plays rather than wear shorts and a t-shirt. “Sometimes it feels like I want to open the hijab, but I must not expose my hair...
