I expected Babylon's staking documentation to teach me how the protocol works. Instead, it made me think more deeply about how I would approach staking myself.
One detail kept coming back to me:
Each staking output is associated with a single Finality Provider.
At first, I saw it as a technical implementation. The more I reflected on it, the more I realized it's also a design choice with practical implications.
I appreciate the simplicity of keeping each staking output clean, native, and straightforward. At the same time, if diversification is important to me, it's something I would need to manage by creating multiple staking transactions. That can mean more UTXOs to track, additional fees, and more operational decisions.
I don't see this as a criticism or a limitation on its own. I see it as a thoughtful trade-off between protocol simplicity and user responsibility. Different users may value that balance differently depending on their own approach and priorities.
For me, the Most valuable technical documentation isn't the part that explains the architecture—its the part that changes the way I think about the design choices behind it.
I'm curious how others interpret this trade-off.

Would you split your BTC across multiple Finality Providers?
