i keep getting stuck on this one annoying Babylon thought
because if BTC delegation is heavy enough to give Babylon Genesis BTC-backed finality then why does it not get BABY governance too
that feels like the normal ending right. BTC stake shows up, hardens the chain, takes the governance voice with it. old market logic. old chain logic too honestly. why would the economic weight stop halfway. why would it not keep going
but Babylon cuts that line in a weird place
BTC delegation goes to Finality Providers. that side brings BTC-backed finality. finality votes land, Babylon Genesis gets harder to equivocate on, harder to reverse, harder to casually mess with. real economic weight there. real slashable consequence there. but it still does not become BABY governance power. it does not become block production either. and that is the part that keeps catching on me
“the weight arrives. the voice does not.”
that other lane stays with BABY stakers and CometBFT validators
so the heavy part gets split
one side is Finality Providers landing finality votes so Babylon block history is harder to move. the other side is BABY delegation pushing power into CometBFT validators so block production and governance stay over there. over there. not here. weird, no
and i think that bothered me at first because i wanted BTC-backed finality and BABY governance to travel together. feels cleaner. feels fairer maybe. if BTC delegation is bringing the slashable economic weight then why does governance still stay on the BABY side. what exactly is Babylon protecting there
but Babylon is almost rude about this split
BTC can finalize without governing
BABY can govern without bringing the Bitcoin weight
maybe that is the real Babylon line
BTC-backed finality is allowed in
BTC governance is not
