PANews reported on September 29th that the community of the Bitcoin staking protocol Babylon recently released a new proposal, "Reducing Inflation and Introducing Joint Staking," aimed at adjusting the BABY token economics, including reducing inflation and introducing BTC-BABY joint staking. The proposal proposes reducing the inflation rate by approximately 30%, from 8% per year to 5.5% per year, with the following specific distribution: ① 1% goes to Bitcoin (BTC) stakers, who can receive commissions from finality providers; ② 2% goes to BABY stakers, who can receive commissions from CometBFT validators. ③ An additional 2.35% goes to BTC stakers who stake both BTC and BABY as joint staking rewards. For every 20,000 BABY staked, one staked BTC is eligible for joint staking rewards. ④ Due to limitations in the Cosmos SDK, finality providers and CometBFT validators cannot collect commissions from joint staking rewards. To compensate for this limitation, 0.075% is allocated to active finality providers based on delegation size, and 0.075% is allocated to active CometBFT validators based on delegation size. Once the trustless Bitcoin custody protocol is ready, the token economics should be revisited and adjusted to drive adoption. Furthermore, the proposal proposes the introduction of a BTC-BABY co-staking feature, encouraging BTC stakers to also stake BABY and actively provide security for validation and finality. The more BABY staked, the greater the co-staking rewards received.PANews reported on September 29th that the community of the Bitcoin staking protocol Babylon recently released a new proposal, "Reducing Inflation and Introducing Joint Staking," aimed at adjusting the BABY token economics, including reducing inflation and introducing BTC-BABY joint staking.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For
The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush. Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs. Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
