I saw Babylon’s ten-output Pre-PegIn batch from fee efficiency first. One transaction carrying ten vault outputs looked cleaner, cheaper, and easier to scale.
That was the obvious reading, probably the weaker one.
The real issue appears after broadcast. Each output may keep its own Bitcoin spend path, but all ten still depend on one activation event clearing on time. If that peg-in stalls, BABY does not face one delayed vault. It can face ten users waiting behind the same liveness failure.
Some shared dependency is normal. Batching exists because repeating entry overhead ten times wastes block space and raises per-vault cost. The efficiency is real.
But the test is behavior under delay. Can Babylon isolate recovery per output, or does one transaction-level problem hold the whole batch together? Who reacts when the deadline starts shrinking? Does the larger absolute fee tied to one transaction make rebroadcast more painful?
This is fee efficiency vs failure concentration.
BABY succeeds if batching lowers entry cost without turning one operational mistake into a ten-vault queue. I’m still watching one uncomfortable point: separate spend paths do not guarantee separate liveness.
Babylon may save space here. The harder question is whether it preserves independence.
