Introduction In my previous post , I outlined a roadmap for technical changes that allow us as a community to adjust key economic parameters directly through OpenGov. With these updates about to be deployed in the next runtime upgrade, we should start discussing specific sets of parameters that are r…

Good to see a vibrant discussion on here. Just reposting my X Post , TLDR I am pro reducing inflation largely inline with the figures mentioned by @jonas , but would like to see a 2-step process reducing it further after a 6 month period. Having been on the forefront of end-user Polkadot staking fo…

I agree with mostly with Ross PoV. Particularly I would like to underscore the following ideas: The ~16% reward rates now are also hugely larger than competing ecosystems. I therefore believe FUD around scaring off stakers with a reduced inflation has no merit. If one stakers sells, another stake…

[image] wabkebab: It has been commented - in post-truth emotional basis , with no data of rewards of competing alternatives - that reducing inflation will make stakers to go somewhere else: but where? And we are assuming that nobody will come in to replace the gone staker. @wabkebab raises exc…

Hello All, I was not aware of this channel and posted a WFC yesterday. Thankfully, @SAXEMBERG let me know that this channel exists. You can find my WFC here: https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1049 . I have read through the messages above and would like to put my 2 cents in. I will try to …

Reducing polkadot inflation is good but i dont think that is the major problem polkadot is facing , in my opinion, polkadot should focus more on building utility dapps in Defi , gamefi , gamblefi , fintech and Daos than infrastructures and tooling … Infrastructure and inflation wont onboard users ,…

Reflection on the current discussions Hey everyone, There have been extensive discussions in the forum, social media, and during the recent livestream. As expected, this topic evokes strong emotions and a wide range of opinions. I’d like to take this opportunity to reflect on these discussions, con…

Thanks, Jonas! I only like the model for option 3 and I’m hoping Polkadot can keep adjusting down after each major milestone, like JAM.

Thanks, Jonas! I like the model of Option 3. I still hope that there can be a new model which can reduce inflation more substantially.

Hi, we are the Polkadot Ecology Research Institute. We strongly agree with the idea of reducing inflation. Although we acknowledge that a one-time reduction to 5% would have a significant impact, we still believe that a one-time reduction to 5% would be a better option. We are deeply concerned wit…

I agree with Zou Yang’s view. I believe we can add a 5% inflation to WFC4. We need lower inflation to activate our ecosystem applications.

I did talk about a novel idea of how we can curve inflation in the ecosystem.
