🔸TL;DR: Important update — For Babylon Bitcoin staking mainnet Phase-1 Cap-2, the maximum staking amount per Bitcoin staking transaction will be 500 BTC instead of 0.5 BTC. Please see the updated post here.
🔸The community expressed concerns that the previously announced 0.5 BTC stake limit could result in unnecessarily high Bitcoin tx fees (including staking tx, unbonding tx, and withdrawal tx fees). Additionally, splitting UTXOs is a hassle for many stakers.
🔸This increase will help lower the total tx fees by reducing the number of transactions. It will also lessen the pressure to enter Cap-2, which would otherwise drive up the staking tx fees.
🔸The staking amount remains under your control. However, please consider staking small and cautiously.
🔸Thank you for your support, and happy staking!
🗓 Mark your calendars! Babylon Mainnet Phase-1, Cap-2 kicks off in the second week of October!
🛑 Reminder: Make sure to unbond and withdraw any overflow stakes if you were part of Phase-1, Cap-1!
