Polkadot's Economics: Tools to Shape the Forseeable Future

Great summary of how all of the pieces are coming together.

Very pleased to see that Fixed Treasury Inflow and Inflation Pallet are literally just waiting for deployment :exploding_head:

Clearly the conversation is going to quickly move towards specific numbers - so I’ll kick this off now with:

  • MaxStakerReward to 80% - meaning a fixed 20% of inflation to the Treasury (and other pots!)
  • max_inflation reduced to 8% from the current 10%
  • Once Optimistic Project Funding is implemented, 25% of Treasury inflows to be directed towards this “pot” (5% of inflation)

The above would see:

  • Inflation reduced :white_check_mark:
  • Single-digit DOT inflation :white_check_mark:
  • Retain double-digit staking APY :white_check_mark:
  • Consistent Treasury inflows markedly higher than current levels :white_check_mark:
  • Significant inflows for Optimistic Project Funding - luring in talented builders :white_check_mark:
