Coretime Price Discovery

I also have a strong opinion about this. The current pricing model is complicated and poorly suited for its purpose.

I started a thread here:

Is it time to rethink the core pricing model for Polkadot?

The DOT pricing model has been widely discussed, yet with recent experience on both Kusama and Polkadot, we may need to reconsider the current approach. The primary goal of the core pricing model should be to provide customers with predictable and stable pricing, a point underscored in a presentation at Polkadot Decoded 2024. However, the existing model fails to offer such stability, even for core renewals. For example, initial cores on Polkadot were sold at 69 DOT, while renewals climbed to 10…

Your suggestions make complete sense. It encourages early adoption while ensuring that the income generated is reasonable.

The current pricing model needs to be replaced, imho.
