@BabylonLabs_io co staking math instead of just skimming the docs and hold up, the ratio actually stopped me.
$BABY set it so 20,000 BABY unlocks boosted field on exactly 1 BTC. Pair 6 BTC with only 50,000 BABY governance proposal on mintscan, prop
#15 and you're only getting the enhanced rate on 2.5 of those BTC. Need 150,000 BABY to cover the whole stack.
That's the part
#baby doesn't really lead with.
The pitch is align BTC holders and BABY stakers which sounds neutral, symmetric even. In practice it's a threshold game,p small BTC holders basically sit at base rate by default, and the advanced tier only opens up once you're holding a genuinely large BABY position alongside your BTC. Whales get first access to the aligned yield, everyone else gets the marketing language.
Checked current numbers while I was at it , BABY sitting around $0.012, circulating supply just over 4B, 7 day price down a few percent. Nothing dramatic but it's the kind of quiet drift that happens when a mechanism rewards concentration rather than participation.
Kept rereading the ratio like I was missing a catch. Maybe I was. Still not sure if this quietly reinforces whale advantage or just reflects how any dual asset staking design has to work…
