[PROPOSAL] Set Max Inflation at 10%

When Prop 848 passed, bonding ratio was 65%. Today it is at 64.2%. Is that all you got, NO camp? 0.8%? 3 million ATOMs.

Come on folks. These are rookie numbers.

Really think Jae should get over Prop 848 and focus on Gnoland (GNOT) where he does have a new and unique offering to give to the world. Atom One’s offering is 30 validators securing fixed-issuance liquid staking token which is essentially stATOM if the LST threshold is 100% instead of 33%. stATOM might actually have a larger set of validators and thus be more decentralized. ATOM currently can determine how much of ATOM should be liquid staked which means there is a pretty large amount (67%) from the remaining hard staked ATOMs to act as buffer in attacks. So ATOM has the ability to configure the size of the buffer which is not something Atom One will be able to do. In all aspects, 0-10% inflation ATOM with faster rate change and the current LST offering is better than Atom One as proposed. It’s just gonna be sour grapes, an inferior product and a waste of time. Gnoland is a better place to spend your attention.

Learn to lose with dignity. You win some, you lose some. How Ethan handled his loss last year should be an example for you how to handle a loss.

I really don’t want the drama to leave the Cosmos Hub. I like it dramatic.

me too, support so much

So proposal 848 just passed and we lost already Noble because they are concerned about validators revenue. Right after the inflation is cutted in a half, Noble says that is not going to adopt ICS now, beacuse they are concerned about validators.

Good job 848 supporters! Now the Cosmos Hub is not appealing anymore for consumer chains, looking forward for Noble to launch on ATOM1.

Please stay calm and don’t tear the community apart.

Looks like Jae got Eloned. He is about to dump his tokens. About 6 million ATOM got unbonded from big accounts last night. Jae has like $100 million ATOM stash. Like Elon he is going to be forced into retirement with a $100 million retirement package. lmao

I wish he stayed. In any case, I wish him all the best in his next project. May he turn out like Elon.


I don’t think that’s the AIB wallet unbonding. This is theirs:

Reality is probably more boring.

The one ending in d3d is Polychain winding down their node. Them being a VC probably means their market behavior is going to be fairly moderate / predictable.

The one ending in 8e7 I think it’s either informal or some ICF related entity, based some of their earlier transactions and transfers into vesting accounts. So they probably won’t do anything crazy. Maybe it’s just end of the year accounting activities or something.

The other two I am not sure of. Why would an address be so much longer than the others for the one ending in u28?

At any rate, I’m guessing that resistance at 10 USD is going to be more resilient than before, but probably not some massive dump (barring the market just generally shitting the bed)

So it looks like it wasn’t the inflation. :eyes:

We would be down more without the reduction of emission considering all things equal.

Only normies would believe it had something to do with sell pressure. The security budget has been hilariously over-funded for years relative to other large L1’s and the risk-free “yield” of staking is another reason deFi in Cosmos has seen lackluster participation.

Security remains overfunded at 10% here. Max inflation needs to keep getting cut. Prob 7% should be the next max setting.

My recommendation:

Back to default.

Some people really badly want ATOM to be worthless, don’t they?

because thats kinda obvious =)

it did hit a lot of projects though and keeps on doing that (

Amazingly it’s still not too late for :point_up_2: this PMF. Which would still f’n kick ass.

Capital concentrated for its community not just by its community

A decentralized fiat custodial service sure would make waves… :thinking:
with near-free ramps for stakers, best in class fee service for non-stakers. “Compliance wall” that away with its own app-chain (good PMF). Or contract it regionally.
Why should you still need a CEX for this? Seems like corporate protectionism.
What about directing hub capital at some highstreet legal services to explore RW service ideas like that? Add value & stake-gate the membership. Triple A for IBC

Cardano and Polkadot are far more unified in their vision and they fail just like ATOM. Both Cardano and Polkadot are trading at 2019 prices as well. The reality is Solana has emerged as the clear cut winner in the Ethereum Killer wars. Solana’s 7% inflation and adoption by devs is simply far more attractive for investors than ATOM’s 10% inflation and lack of adoption. ATOM is going to keep down over time if its community continues the gross mismanagement of its inflation. It’s inflation is too high vs alternatives.

BTW, if the prop to cut max inflation didn’t pass in November, ATOM probably would be trading at $1 now. The inflation cut rescued the price for a few more months. In my opinion, ATOM has to keep cutting inflation until it becomes more inline with industry standards (around 7%).

One more thing: if the Cosmos Hub community wants to go back to the Jae’s 20% max inflation setting after being disappointed that the 10% max inflation didn’t result in number go up, it is very likely that major exchanges like Coinbase and Binance will delist ATOM since this token’s price is projected to go towards zero given the token’s high inflation dynamics and retail investors are facing complete loss of value regardless of the utility of the token. At minimum, the token needs to be rated as highly risky and access to it gated to qualified investors. At 10% max inflation the situation is not as bad as it was at 20% but the dynamics are largely similar. Long term very businesses sustain a 10% growth rate forever and ATOM doesn’t seem to be one of those business. In the Ethereum Killer sector, ATOM is hardly a top ranked player. While the IBC ecosystem is very strong and growing, ATOM doesn’t really monetize that growth so nobody can really claim that ATOM’s prospects are the same as IBC’s ecosystem prospects. And if they do, they are lying and probably should be sued for misleading investors.

BTW, I am pretty sure most new investors don’t know that IBC transactions aren’t paid in ATOM. Many people just assume that IBC traffic accrues value to ATOM because that is how most other crypto ecosystems work. Few retail people dig that deep into specifics.

I don’t necessarily think that is accurate.

Do you have information to back up that claim concerning a delisting?

I think that some of the most dramatic declines in Cosmo’s market cap have occurred since bringing this measure into place.

So that you’re fully aware, I think that market cap matters much more than unit token price.

Staking was always designed to favor the stakers who are providing security to the network.

As a yes voter on this particular item, I also want to make you aware that I do understand and respect your point of view .

It is simply that over time, I have come to A different understanding of the situation. I’m actually quite happy to discuss it with you .

I also just want to let you know that my interests are absolutely not served by the price of atom going to zero.

However if there are more atoms and market cap goes up, volume is flowing to stakers as intended.

Anytime that market cap goes down, then I feel that we have made a failure. And that is actually the reason for my about face on this particular matter .

So again, to be clear, I could easily be convinced that it is better to keep inflation exactly as it is. It’s just that currently I’m starting to think that we actually have evidence to the contrary.
