Babylon completed a BitVM "unhappy path" test to simulate a dispute resolution on Bitcoin mainnet. It successfully went through and took ~8 hrs and $16k in fees.

The Babylon R &amp; D team is about to run a pretty ambitious BitVM experiment.

A live-fire test on Bitcoin mainnet to see if the entire "unhappy path" actually works, something to the best of our knowledge no BitVM team has ever done before.

🧵 Here’s what we’re testing, and why https://t.co/rWpo1iKABj

BitVM mainnet experiment completed. Entire unhappy path took a total of less than 8 hours and $16K of transaction fees. Details:

The first tx was included 2025-06-04 07:37:25 UTC+8
The last tx was included 2025-06-04 15:13:40 UTC+8
lasting 7 hours 36 mins, spanning 42 blocks
