Cross posting here.

Didn’t see a lot of people on the call at the end and doesn’t seem like its recorded but just wanted to say, I’m not a fan of the exclusive focus around staking APR meeting a threshold, and little importance on what the end taxes are. Which is how it’s presented. Of course it’s great if we hit a good APR threshold for stakers, however.

If total taxes are 30% and staking apr is 10%, thats more dilution than if total taxes are 15% and staking apr is 10%. (example numbers to illustrate the point)

Major thing I don’t like about the research so far is that it seems to minimize that mattering at all. Also, as I said on the call, the research presents a case for different tax numbers for the treasury but it leaves snf numbers pretty much as a footnote. Not trying to propose a specific SNF tax here myself, but it will be annoying if treasury tax is determined separately from SNF tax, and then we find ourselves more diluted later because the focus is on apr instead of a wholistic big picture.

I’d like to see this formally addressed in the future, and it sounds like there is a willingness to do that.

Please refer to my tokenomics ideas in the following thread as comments on the above research report:

> Comments topic topic: Validator stipend I agree with this concept and think its a good match for secret. Especially if the set also decreases slightly to maybe ~60 validators. I am missing the impact here that will improve decentralisation but we had this conversation many times and i am not sure the community will agree on any practice here I would not anchor the stipend at a monthly usd amount but at a monthly SCRT amount. Validators are fine with some risk but added upside, they dont need…
