Hello, and thank you for initiating this important discussion!
We fully support this initiative and would be glad to contribute to its development and implementation.
The Need to Reduce Inflation
In our view, the Cosmos Hub requires a meaningful reduction in the current inflation rate.
The existing inflationary model imposes continuous dilution on long-term holders and weakens the macroeconomic positioning of $ATOM within the broader interchain ecosystem.
A more conservative and sustainable issuance model would help strengthen the token’s economic foundation.
Introducing Active Burning / Buyback Mechanisms
We also believe that Cosmos should explore and implement active token-burning or buyback mechanisms.
Such tools could:
• Offset inflationary pressures
• Create consistent value accrual for $ATOM
• Better align long-term incentives for validators, stakers, and ecosystem builders
Mechanisms of this kind have proven effective in improving token economics across multiple networks and could significantly reinforce $ATOM’s competitiveness.
Expanding Utility for $ATOM
It is essential for the Hub to continue developing new and meaningful use cases for the token.
The Hydro protocol is an excellent example of how $ATOM can gain additional utility and become increasingly valuable within the interchain economy.
We would be glad to support the further evolution of Hydro and hope to see additional protocols that expand the utility surface of $ATOM across liquidity, security, and interchain applications.
Let’s make $ATOM great again!
