No offense, but historically I have rarely seen a tokenomics research actually deliver meaningful impact. Cosmos (via AADAO and others) has previously funded similar research projects that have not led to meaningful impact, and there’s meaningful reason to believe “this time it’ll be different”, I’d be curious on why.
This is a plan to make a plan, and the work of making the plan is outsourced to an external team with little to no skin-in-the-game.
This feels like the equivalent of hiring a deloitte or a PWC to fix a company.
In the words of Steve Jobs:
”Coming in and making recommendations and not owning the results and not owning the implementation, I think, is a fraction of the value and a fraction of the opportunity to learn and get better.”
While Osmosis has its own set of struggles, the Osmosis tokenomics mechanisms revolve around the product, not the other way around. I’d imagine that’d be the same for the Hub as well.
