I completely agree with this pragmatic and purely “business” approach. Grounding the debate in a strictly quantified business plan based on the recent data from the Hub Weekly Update #1 is exactly the path to follow to achieve monetary equilibrium and save the Hub.
However, I strongly emphasize a crucial strategic point: we must submit these proposals to governance via multiple separate votes rather than launching a single, massive block. Too many ambitious proposals have failed in the past because a major validator voted “NO” over a single line of detail. By moving step by step, we secure each victory without risking everything all at once.
Here is the structure of the three votes I propose:
-
Vote 1: Creation of a Burn Address and Measurement Tools. We need to deploy an official, transparent burn address directly connected to a real-time ROI measurement Dashboard. Before allocating any capital from the Community Pool for a native DEX or a partnership, these measurement tools must be active to audit the effectiveness of every single cent.
-
Vote 2: Dynamic Burn Mechanism via IBC Fees and the “Injective Standard.” The May 7th Injective agreement (50% revenue share to buy back ATOM) and future frictionless taxes on IBC routing — applied exclusively to transactions transiting through the Hub — will power this engine. If the Dashboard indicates that the Treasury (Community Pool) has reached its safety threshold, 100% of these real revenue flows will be automatically and dynamically redirected to the burn address to permanently destroy ATOM.
-
Vote 3: Inflation Reduction by Adjusting Staking Yields. Gauntlet’s empirical data proves that stakers are “strong hands” and do not dump the network (only 9k-18k ATOM sold per day). Therefore, we can safely lower the nominal staking yield. This will mechanically reduce ATOM’s price dilution, reassure external investors, and increase the real value of staked capital, rather than printing a currency that continually devalues itself.
What do you think? Do you have any objections, other counterarguments, or feedback to move this project forward? Would you also want to change the order of the votes?
