Thank you for everyone who participated in this discussion - whether on this post, others, or on other channels. We normally believe a week is the minimum amount of time required to move from an off-chain proposal to an on-chain one. It’s been almost a week since this thread was started, but many weeks since starting to discuss this particular proposal, and given the consensus - we feel it’s right to move to on-chain voting.
There seems to be a consensus around the inflation changes (7%-15%), an agreement around 2% community tax, and an agreement around a foundation tax (numbers most likely ranging between 15%-20%). The only aspect for which we’ve heard differing opinions seem to be around whether to include the foundation tax in the community tax for the time being. On that topic, we’ve decided not to include it in the time being for the following reasons, which we hope the community will support:
- The community pool is already large, there’s no need to further increase it.
- The foundation should be able to build and propose a foundation tax module, that is separate from the community tax module.
- In the sake of transparency and good order, it is much preferable that there’s a clear, on-chain separation between fees that are allocated to the foundation and fees that are allocated to the rest of the community.
Therefore, we have just proposed to the network to make the changes as described in this post, and are further detailed in the proposal itself.
