Finished the CreatorPad task on @BabylonLabs_io earlier and kept the explorer tab open longer than I planned. What stopped me wasn't anything on the task itself, it was checking BABY's chart afterward and seeing it print a new all-time low on August 4th, $0.01043, just two days before I'm writing this.

That timing felt off. $BABY isn't sitting idle on the protocol side. The dual-staking model is live, inflation got trimmed through governance, and BTC stakers pairing with BABY are earning more than they were a few months ago. On paper, that's the kind of parameter change that should give a token some support. It didn't.

I'd assumed tighter tokenomics and functioning governance would at least slow the bleeding, even if they couldn't reverse it. Watching the ATH print right alongside otherwise normal on-chain activity was a small correction to that assumption. Protocol usage and token price seem to be running on almost separate tracks here.

Not sure if that's a temporary disconnect or just how it works when supply is still large relative to actual staking demand. Curious whether the auction-and-burn mechanic changes that math once it's actually running, or whether it's priced in already. #baby

Does on-chain activity actually move $BABY 's price?
