One thing I've learned while researching crypto infrastructure is that the best documentation rarely gives you instant confidence. It usually leaves you with better questions.
That happened to me while reading about Babylon.
I opened the docs expecting another attempt to squeeze more utility out of Bitcoin. Instead, I kept coming back to a different idea: using Bitcoin as a security anchor rather than treating it as capital that needs to be moved around.
That completely changed how I approached the rest of the documentation.
The bigger question for me isn't, "How much can this earn?"
It's, "What exactly is being trusted, and what isn't?"
If Bitcoin remains self custodied while participating in securing PoS ecosystems, the trust model doesn't disappear it evolves. Understanding where those guarantees start and where their limits are feels much more important than calculating potential rewards.
I'm putting tokenomics aside for now. First I want to understand validator behavior, finality, and the protocol's security assumptions. Everything else makes more sense after that.
That's where my research is headed next.
