# Babylon

Source: https://developers.bitgo.com/docs/babylon

## Overview

Baby is the native asset of the Babylon blockchain. It utilizes:

- Account model
- EcDSA signature algorithm

The Babylon project designs security protocols that scale Bitcoin to secure the decentralized world.
To this end, Babylon utilizes three primary facets of Bitcoin:
- Bitcoin, the asset
- Bitcoin, the PoW-secured timestamping server
- Bitcoin, the censorship-resistant blockspace

Through inventing pioneering protocols, Babylon envisions a more secure and Bitcoin-centric decentralized world.

## Wallets Types

BitGo enables holding Baby in the following wallet types:

|                  | Multisig Cold | Multisig Hot | MPC Cold | MPC Hot |
|------------------|---------------|--------------|----------|---------|
| **Custodial**    | ❌             | ❌            | ✅        | ❌       |
| **Self Managed** | ❌             | ❌            | ✅        | ✅       |

## Ticker Symbols

| Mainnet    | Testnet         |
|------------|-----------------|
| baby       | tbaby           |

## Faucet

Testnet tbaby coins can be requested from the <a href="https://discord.com/invite/babylonglobal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Babylon discord channel</a>.

## Units

Baby is divisible by 10<sup>-6</sup> and the base unit is a ubbn:

- 1 Baby = 1,000,000 ubbn
- 1 ubbn = 0.000001 Baby

Baby balances can be in either integer or string format. However, BitGo recommends using string format to ensure values don't exceed the programmable number limit.

## Tokens

The Babylon blockchain doesn't natively support tokens.

## Fees

Baby has the following fees:

- Minimum fee = 0.007 Baby
- Default fee rate = 0.007 Baby

## Address Format

Babylon addresses follow the format: `bbn1<38-character-bech32-body>`. All addresses are exactly 42 characters in length and begin with the fixed prefix `bbn1`. This format adheres to the following regular expression:
```regex
/^(bbn)1(['qpzry9x8gf2tvdw0s3jn54khce6mua7l]{38})$/
```

### Memo ID Support

- Optionally, a `?memoId=<n>` query parameter can be appended to the address for use cases such as identifying transaction metadata. Here, `<n>` can be any integer.
- Using `memoId`-based addressing eliminates the need to generate multiple deposit addresses per user. A single static address can be reused safely across users and use cases, with the `memoId` serving as the unique identifier.
- Since Babylon uses `memoId`-based receive addresses, manual consolidation is not required.


## Create Wallet

```shell cURL
    export BITGO_EXPRESS_HOST="<YOUR_LOCALHOST>"
    export COIN="tbaby"
    export ACCESS_TOKEN="<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>"
      export LABEL="<DESIRED_WALLET_NAME>"
        export PASSPHRASE="<YOUR_BITGO_LOGIN_PASSPHRASE>"
          export ENTERPRISE_ID="<YOUR_ENTERPRISE_ID>"

            curl -X POST \
            http://$BITGO_EXPRESS_HOST/api/v2/$COIN/wallet/generate \
            -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
            -d '{
              "label": "'"$LABEL"'",
              "passphrase": "'"$PASSPHRASE"'",
              "enterprise": "'"$ENTERPRISE_ID"'",
              "disableTransactionNotifications": true,
              "disableKRSEmail": true
            }'
```
```js JavaScript
    const { BitGo } = require('bitgo');

    const accessToken = '<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>';

    // Initialize the SDK
    const bitgo = new BitGo({
      accessToken: accessToken,
      env: 'test',
    });

    // Generate hot wallet
    async function createHotWalletSimple() {
      const newWallet = await bitgo.coin('tbaby').wallets().generateWallet({
      label: '<DESIRED_WALLET_NAME>',
      passphrase: '<YOUR_BITGO_LOGIN_PASSWORD>',
    });

      console.log(JSON.stringify(newWallet, undefined, 2));
    }
```

## Create Address

```shell cURL
    export COIN="tbaby"
    export WALLET_ID="<YOUR_WALLET_ID>"
    export ACCESS_TOKEN="<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>"

      curl -X POST \
      https://app.bitgo-test.com/api/v2/$COIN/wallet/$WALLET_ID/address \
      -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN"
```
```js JavaScript
    const { BitGo } = require('bitgo');
    const accessToken = '<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>';

    // Initialize the SDK
    const bitgo = new BitGo({
      accessToken: accessToken,
      env: 'custom',
      customRootURI: 'https://app.bitgo.com',
    });

    // Create address
    const wallet = await bitgo.coin('tbaby').wallets().generateWallet({
      label: '<DESIRED_WALLET_NAME>',
      passphrase: '<YOUR_BITGO_LOGIN_PASSPHRASE>',
    });

    const address = await wallet.createAddress(
    );

    // Print address details
    console.log(JSON.stringify(address, undefined, 2));
```

## Estimate Fee

```shell cURL
    export COIN="tbaby"
    export ACCESS_TOKEN="<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>"

    curl -X GET \
    https://app.bitgo-test.com/api/v2/$COIN/tx/fee \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN"
```
```js JavaScript
    const BitGoJS = require('../../../src/index.js');
    const bitgo = new BitGoJS.BitGo({ env: 'test' });
    const Promise = require('bluebird');
    const accessToken = '<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>';
    const coin = 'tbaby';

    Promise.coroutine(function *() {
      bitgo.authenticateWithAccessToken({ accessToken });
      bitgo.coin(coin).feeEstimate({ numBlocks: 2 }, function callback(err, res) {
      console.dir(res);
    });
    })();
```
