Before I looked at the numbers I assumed the next step for Bitcoin verification would be adding more computation. Then I opened this comparison and realized the real improvement was removing unnecessary overhead. @BabylonLabs_io 's BABE doesn't just outperform BitVM3 by a small margin. It reduces on chain cost by 376x, setup time by 2,022x, decryption time by 2,783x, and storage requirements by 1,868x. That changed how I think about Bitcoin verification. A protocol can be technically correct, but if verification is expensive and resource heavy, scaling becomes much harder. The interesting part is not that BABE is faster. It is that it makes secure verification far more practical without adding more trust. Sometimes the biggest innovation is not making something possible. It is making it efficient enough to actually use. Do you think verification efficiency will matter more than raw functionality as Bitcoin infrastructure evolves?
