The Babylon community proposed to reduce the inflation rate of BABY tokens by approximately 30% and introduce a BTC-BABY co-staking function.

The community of the Bitcoin staking protocol Babylon recently released a new proposal, "Reduce Inflation and Introduce Joint Staking," aimed at adjusting the BABY token economics, including reducing inflation and introducing BTC-BABY joint staking. The proposal proposes reducing inflation by approximately 30%, from 8% per year to 5.5%, with the following distribution: ① 1% goes to Bitcoin (BTC) stakers, who receive commissions from finality providers; ② 2% goes to BABY stakers, who 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 receive commissions from joint staking rewards. To compensate for this limitation, 0.075% is distributed to active finality providers based on delegation size, and 0.075% is distributed 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, which would encourage BTC stakers to also stake BABY and actively provide security for verification and finality; the more BABY staked, the greater the co-staking rewards.

Pro-crypto New York Mayor Eric Adams withdraws from re-election campaign due to financial woes

According to The Block, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has suspended his re-election campaign, adding uncertainty to the battle for control of America's largest city. In a nearly nine-minute video posted on Platform X on Sunday, Adams stated that media speculation about his future and the Campaign Finance Committee withholding millions of dollars in funds have undermined his ability to raise serious campaign funds, but he will continue to fight for the city. While Adams did not mention cryptocurrency in his statement, he has been a longtime supporter, having received his first three salaries in Bitcoin and spearheading New York's first cryptocurrency summit, where he welcomed those involved in the field in May. He has also previously called for the repeal of Bitcoin licensing regulations, which have made New York one of the most heavily regulated cryptocurrency jurisdictions in the country. The mayor has not endorsed any of his three rivals: Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. Since his suspension, prediction markets indicate Cuomo's support has increased, with his chances of victory rising from 11% to nearly 15%, while Mamdani remains the overwhelming favorite, with an 84.6% chance of victory.

Jump’s Firedancer Team Proposes Removing Solana Block Limit After Alpenglow Upgrade

According to The Block, Jump Crypto's Firedancer team is building a high-performance client for Solana. Their SIMD-0370 proposal proposes removing the current fixed limit of 60 million CUs per block (previously, a proposal had proposed raising this limit to 100 million) after Solana's major Alpenglow upgrade, scheduled for testing later this year. Without a fixed limit, block size would adjust based on the transaction volume accommodated by high-performing validators, while weaker validators would automatically abstain from voting on oversized blocks by skipping the voting mechanism. The proposal argues that removing the limit would encourage well-funded block producers to upgrade their hardware and add more transactions to increase revenue, incentivizing others to follow suit, creating a "flywheel effect" and increasing the average capacity of validator clients. Roger Wattenhofer, Head of Research at Anza and a driving force behind Solana's Alpenglow upgrade, supports removing the limit but also expresses concerns about potential centralization and network stability risks. He argues that these issues are solvable and that he remains a staunch supporter of removing the limit.
