#baby $BABY @BabylonLabs_io observed Babylon’s storage problem looked almost solved when I reduced a 1,000-pair evidence index to megabytes instead of thinking in raw circuit size.
That sounds efficient but it is the easy metric.
The harder issue sits inside the index. If 98.05% of objects belong to the evidence layer losing one record there looks minor. Lose one object from the enforcement layer though and the damage is roughly 50 times more severe relative to that smaller set.
At 10,000 pairs the digest layer could reach about 96.32 MB before metadata and signatures. Still manageable. But manageable capacity is not reliable integrity.
A 25% evidence sample would require checking about 76 records per pair. Who performs those checks how often and what happens when nodes disagree?
Some weakness is normal. Compression shifts pressure elsewhere.
For Babylon the real comparison is raw storage reduction vs index discipline. $BABY needs smaller evidence yes but also recovery rules, status binding, and network consistency that survive partial loss.
