An idea of what to do with part of the NTRN token similar to this one has been discussed already before with @jtremback and he was actually planning an on-chain proposal about this: CHIPs discussion phase: Optimizing ICS reward distribution with per-chain commission - #6 by jtremback
I agree about the same amount for each validator, since the costs are similar for all validators. The specific amount needs to be discussed, and whether this is just for Neutron costs or for other consumer chains. Potentially, the top ~50 validators could be excluded and a higher amount given to the rest of validators. The top validators have large revenues, more than enough to cover consumer chain costs, the costs issue is for medium/small validators
This idea is also interesting. Because in the next bear market there would potentially be many consumer chains. An USDC amount to cover the AEZ costs for validators for the next bear market seems like a necessary risk management
