@BabylonLabs_io I only realized BABY’s liquidity weakness only after separating total volume from the part that can execute on-chain.
The obvious metric looks healthy. But Babylon’s combined activity is about 19.03 times its DEX volume, meaning only one of those nineteen parts is decentralized. Its centralized layer is roughly 18 times larger.
That is not automatically failure. New tokens often build liquidity where execution is easier and users already sit. Still, activity is not the same as trustless adoption.
The behavior matters more. Are users choosing Babylon’s decentralized venues when trade size increases, or only when incentives make the route attractive? Can BABY support meaningful orders without slippage, fragmented pools, or dependence on a centralized exit?
For three of every ten trading dollars to become decentralized, DEX volume would need to reach nearly 7.7 times its level, assuming centralized volume stays unchanged. That is a structural gap, not a cosmetic one.
Babylon can grow token activity faster than decentralized liquidity. Yes, that may look like adoption for a while.
I’m watching whether BABY converts visible volume into durable on-chain depth. The real test is not how much trades, but how much can trade without asking a centralized venue for permission.
