Liquid staking for BABY is now available through a few selected platforms. This guide explains how liquid staking works, introduces the different liquid staking tokens (cBABY, eBABY, milkBABY)
You can learn how to use Cube by Satlayer, Escher Finance, and MilkyWay — three protocols that support BABY and delegate with the Everstake validator. We’ll focus on how to interact with these apps, manage your tokens, and stake them step-by-step.
What Is Babylon Genesis?
Babylon Genesis is a blockchain project that enhances Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks by borrowing security from Bitcoin. Instead of changing Bitcoin, Babylon uses its economic finality and consensus weight to secure other chains. BABY is the native token of the Babylon Genesis network. It can be staked directly or used in liquid staking.
What Is Liquid Staking?
Liquid staking is a mechanism that lets you stake tokens and still retain the ability to use them in other parts of the crypto ecosystem. Unlike traditional staking, where your tokens are locked and inaccessible until you unstake, liquid staking gives you a tradable or usable representation of your staked tokens, called a liquid staking token.
For example, when you stake BABY via a liquid staking platform, you’ll receive a token like cBABY, eBABY, or milkBABY. These tokens represent your staked position and can be used in DeFi protocols for lending, trading, or getting additional rewards, all while your original BABY accrues staking rewards.
Liquid staking solves one of the biggest trade-offs: the loss of liquidity. With it, you no longer have to choose between getting rewards and using your assets.
Here are five main advantages of LS:
- Liquidity: Continue to use your assets while they’re staked.
- Composability: Use your staked tokens in DeFi applications.
- Efficiency: Maximize capital productivity by layering reward streams.
- Flexibility: Depending on the platform, you can restake, delegate, or migrate tokens easily.
- Reward Transparency: Some platforms offer dashboards and tracking systems (e.g., ePoints) that show your rewards.
Understanding Liquid BABY Tokens
When you liquid stake BABY tokens, you receive a token in return that represents your staked position. These tokens act like receipts — you still get staking rewards, but now you can also use the token (cBABY, eBABY, or milkBABY) in other decentralized applications.
Each liquid staking platform issues its own unique version of this token, and they’re not interchangeable. Here’s a deeper breakdown:
- cBABY is issued by Cube by Satlayer. It’s optimized for DeFi usage and can auto-restake your rewards.
- eBABY is issued by Escher Finance. Besides being a liquid staking token, it integrates into a native reward system called ePoints.
- milkBABY is issued by MilkyWay and is designed specifically for the Cosmos ecosystem. If you’re active in Cosmos DeFi, this token is more compatible with tools and protocols in that environment.
They also differ in how you unstake, manage, or use them in other applications. Before choosing a platform, it’s important to understand where you’ll be using the liquid token.
| Token | Platform | Purpose | Key Features |
| cBABY | Cube by Satlayer | DeFi-compatible liquid BABY token | Auto-restake option |
| eBABY | Escher Finance | Liquid BABY + internal rewards | ePoints for protocol activity |
| milkBABY | MilkyWay | Cosmos-native BABY liquid token | Broad Cosmos DeFi compatibility |
These tokens are not interchangeable and are native to their respective platforms. Each is tied to its own mechanics, utility, and reward model.
How to Stake BABY on Cube by Satlayer
Cube is a liquid staking platform developed by Satlayer. It’s focused on providing fast, intuitive access to liquid staking with DeFi integrations. The platform also offers an auto-restake option, which compounds your staking rewards.
After your liquid staking process with Cube, you will receive cBABY. It can be used in supported DeFi protocols or held to automatically compound rewards if you’ve enabled the restake feature.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Visit Cube app and select Liquid Stake BABY on Cube.
- Connect your wallet (Leap, Keplr, OKX, Cosmostation).
This guide uses Leap Wallet as an example.
- Approve the wallet connection.
- Enter the amount of BABY you want to stake.
Optional: Tick “auto-restake” to compound rewards.
- Click Stake and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
✅ You now hold cBABY — your staked BABY in liquid form.
How to Stake BABY on Escher Finance
Escher is a Cosmos-based liquid staking platform that rewards protocol users through its internal points system – ePoints. It issues eBABY as the liquid staking token.
eBABY represents your staked BABY. You can also get ePoints, which track your engagement and unlock future perks. You can hold it or use it in supported apps on the platform.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Go to Escher Finance.
- Connect your wallet. Approve it in your wallet.
- Go to the Staking tab and choose eBABY.
- Enter the amount of BABY to stake and click Get eBABY. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
That’s it — you’ve staked BABY via Escher Finance.
You can now monitor your position and explore the platform’s DeFi integrations.
✅ You now hold eBABY. Rewards are tracked through Escher’s point system.
What Are ePoints?
Escher is an addition feature that tracks your activity and rewards you with ePoints for staking, swapping, and providing liquidity. These are not tokens but internal metrics that may unlock access to exclusive features, drops, or roles later.
Example of ePoint Calculation:
- Holding $100 of eBABY at 1x multiplier = 1 ePoint/hour
- Providing $100 of liquidity at 2.5x = 2.5 ePoints/hour
- Swapping $100 of eBABY = 1 ePoint/event
How to Stake BABY on MilkyWay
MilkyWay is a liquid staking protocol built natively for the Cosmos ecosystem. It’s designed to issue tokens that integrate seamlessly with Cosmos-based dApps and DeFi protocols.
milkBABY is a Cosmos-native token representing your staked BABY. You can use it in the Cosmos DeFi protocols or simply hold until you’re ready to unstake.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Go to MilkyWay. In the Stake section, click on Stake BABY.
- Connect your wallet (Keplr or Leap).
- In the dashboard, click Stake from Babylon.
- Enter the amount of BABY and approve the transaction.
✅ You now hold milkBABY — a Cosmos-native liquid token tied to your staked BABY.

Each platform offers a different model with unique advantages.
| Platform | Token Issued | Supported Wallets | Key Features |
