Babylon (BABY) is the native token of the Babylon blockchain, used for staking, governance, and network participation within its ecosystem. Traders swap BABY to enter or exit positions on the Babylon network, or to move value in and out of the ecosystem without going through a centralised platform. Because BABY operates on its own dedicated network, routing is straightforward — there is only one network to select when swapping.
Before swapping BABY, confirm that your receiving wallet or platform supports the BABY network, as this is the only network available for this asset. Critically, the BABY network requires an Extra ID — an additional identifier similar to a memo or destination tag — when sending to certain addresses, particularly those on custodial exchanges. Check your destination platform carefully: if an Extra ID is shown, copy it exactly and enter it in the Extra ID field before confirming your swap. Omitting or mistyping the Extra ID on a platform that requires one can result in delayed or unrecoverable funds. Zest displays the full transaction details, including the destination address and Extra ID field, before you confirm, so review everything carefully at that step.

Requires Extra IDWhere an extra identifier such as a memo or tag is required, enter it exactly when the receiving platform asks for one — transfers without it can be delayed or lost.
