Okay so I actually did this, not just read about it. Staked 0.015 BTC through Babylon a few weeks back, mainly because I was skeptical of the "no bridge, no wrapping" line and wanted to see it break somewhere.
It didn't, really. The BTC goes into a timelocked Taproot output, still sitting on Bitcoin, and you can watch it in a block explorer like any other UTXO. First thing that tripped me up though — you have to pick a finality provider before anything happens, and they all charge different commission (mine took a few percent off rewards). Nobody really explains how to pick one, so I just went with whichever had more delegations already. Not scientific, I know.
Then comes the part I didn't love: unbonding takes 7 days. 1,008 blocks. I'd seen a figure floating around saying ~50 hours and repeated it before double-checking — that's wrong, the actual docs say a full week. Which matters a lot more if you're the type who wants BTC liquid on short notice.
Rewards are fine, not great — 1-3% APY, paid in BABY, so you're stacking a second asset's volatility on top of your BTC just to earn a small yield. Slashing risk is tiny on paper, 0.1% max if your finality provider double-signs, but I still don't have a great sense of how often that's actually happened.
Anyone here waited out the full 7-day unbond? Did it feel fine or did the timing ever actually bite you?
