BABYLON BABY STAKING
Staking Babylon’s BABY token using the Babylon dashboard is one of several ways to put your tokens, including Bitcoin to work. As a delegator, you turn from a spectator into a stakeholder, with rewards as your “thank you” for showing up.
Babylon is quickly becoming a core Cosmos chain and ATOM stakers are often awarded with free crypto when new protocols launch in the ecosystem. There was a BABY airdrop! Register below to get notified when there are new airdrops to claim.

WHAT IS GEOFENCING
The previous U.S. presidential administration got suckered by Sam Bankman Fried of FTX. As a result, they labeled all crypto a scam and Gary Gensler, former SEC president began taking legal action against crypto projects.
Crypto teams began blocking IP addresses originating from the United States to protect themselves from potential fines. The Trump administration has embraced Web3 and crypto, but many protocol teams still block certain country’s IPs to cover their asses. Babylon is one of them.
Many people use a VPN to cloak their IP address when surfing the web. They log into a server in an approved country and then access crypto applications from there. We are not making a recommendation, but only surf the web using a VPN ourselves.
What BABY staking actually is
BABY is the native token of the Babylon Genesis chain, used for fees, governance, and staking to secure the network. When you stake BABY, you delegate your tokens to a validator, like us at Atlas Staking, who helps produce blocks and keep the chain honest, and you earn a share of protocol rewards in return.
Those rewards come from BABY token inflation, which is why over time rewards generally trend lower. As projects mature, communities rally to improve tokenomics. And as a BABY staker, you can vote on governance proposals, which lets you weigh in on protocol changes instead of just watching from the sidelines.
Why use the Babylon dashboard
The Babylon staking dashboard gives you a unified view of BABY staking, validators, and BTC staking and co‑staking later on. It’s built to work with popular wallets in the Cosmos ecosystem, so you can connect, delegate, track rewards, and manage your position in one place.
Because Babylon uses Bitcoin-based checkpoints, BABY staking also benefits from a fast unbonding period of only 2 days in Bitcoin blocks, instead of the long 21-day wait for most Cosmos chains. That shorter exit window allows you to move in and out as your strategy or need for liquidity changes.
WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE STAKING BABY
Before you head to the dashboard, you need a wallet that supports the Babylon Genesis network, like Keplr, Leap, Cosmostation, or Tomo, connected to the Babylon chain. Second, you need BABY tokens at the wallet address, with a small extra amount left over to cover network transaction fees when you stake and claim rewards.
If you are already staking BTC through the Babylon protocol, you can later explore co‑staking, where staking both BTC and BABY from the same address earns bonus rewards.
Picking a validator (and why Atlas Staking)
Choosing a validator is important, on any network. The dashboard lets you review each validator’s commission rate, uptime, and voting power, all of which affect both your rewards and the overall decentralization of the chain.
Atlas Staking operates as both a Babylon validator for BABY and a Finality Provider for BTC, so delegating to Atlas lets you keep both your BABY and your BTC staking with the same trusted team. For a self‑sovereign investor who values reliability, that keeps things simple without giving up control of your assets.
Step‑by‑step: staking BABY on the dashboard
In a nutshell, you connect your wallet, pick a validator, select how much BABY to delegate, and then confirm the transaction in your wallet. We use Keplr for this tutorial.

Unbonding, rewards, and co‑staking
If/When you decide to unstake your BABY tokens, you submit an unbonding request through your wallet or dashboard, which then goes through the same Bitcoin‑anchored checkpoint process of 2 days. Your tokens then become fully liquid again.
If you also stake BTC and pair it with BABY staking, co‑staking provides bonus yield on top of your base staking rewards. The protocol combines all BABY staked from the same address across validators, so it’s no problem to stake with Atlas and another validator.

It’s the process of locking your BABY tokens on the Babylon network to help secure the blockchain and earn staking rewards over time.

Why should I stake my BABY tokens instead of just holding them?
