New garbled circuit optimization paper just dropped: "This paper introduces BABE, a new proof verification protocol on Bitcoin, which preserves BitVM3โs savings of on-chain costs but reduces off-chain storage and setup by three orders-of-magnitude" eprint.iacr.org/2026/065.pdf

AI visual note: The image shows the title page of an academic paper titled "BABE: Verifying Proofs on Bitcoin Made 1000x Cheaper" by Sanjam Garg, Dimitris Kolonelos, Mikhail Sergeevitch, Srivatsan Sridhar, and David Tse from UC Berkeley, Babylon Labs, Byzantine Research, and Stanford University. The abstract introduces BABE as a new proof verification protocol on Bitcoin that improves upon BitVM3 by reducing off-chain storage and setup costs by three orders of magnitude, using a witness encryption scheme with a garbled circuit for scalar multiplication on elliptic curves. This matches the accompanying post, which highlights the paper's key innovation of a new garbled circuit optimization that achieves 1000x reduction in off-chain costs while preserving BitVM3's on-chain savings.
