BTC Timestamping deployment (BTC backend: bitcoind)

Components

The to-be-deployed Babylon network that features Babylon's BTC Timestamping protocol comprises the following components:

• 2 Babylon Validator Nodes running the base Tendermint consensus and producing Tendermint-confirmed Babylon blocks
• Vigilante Monitor daemon: Detects attacks to Babylon
• Vigilante Submitter daemon: Aggregates and checkpoints Babylon epochs (a group of X Babylon blocks) to the BTC network
• Vigilante Reporter daemon: Keeps track of the BTC network's state in Babylon and detects Babylon checkpoints that have received a BTC timestamp (i.e. have been confirmed in BTC)
• A BTC simnet acting as the BTC network, operated through a bitcoind node

Expected Docker state post-deployment

The following containers should be created as a result of the make command that spins up the network:
