This is actually answered in the FAQS on Discord: **8. Why is bbadger displaying a different number from the badgers I deposited?** The value displayed indicates your position as it relates to the entire pool. It is a representation of your % of that Sett. **9. Does 1 Badger = 1 bBadger?** bBadger is a representation of your ownership in the liquidity pool/strategy for farming Badger and the auto-compounding of the principal. It will grow over time as your rewards are compounded. $bBadger is not a 1:1 representation of $Badger.
