RE: Unstake SPS Early with Penalty

in #spsproposal • last year

I support this proposal and think the 5% fee is in line with options already available in 3rd party systems. However, I would have liked to see only half of the SPS burned, with the other half going to the SPS DAO.

I know it is too late to say anything now that the finished proposal is already being voted on, but if this ever gets reconsidered to change the rate, I would like to maybe reconsider splitting the penalty with the DAO as well as the burn (null) account.

    Thanks for the feedback, this was initially considered but I chose burn because

    1. it's simpler
    2. the DAO already has a lot of SPS

    However, once the DAO runs out of SPS incentives for necessities like LP rewards, ranked battle rewards etc., I foresee a huge shift of revenue which is currently burned going towards the DAO instead... but that's a tomorrow's problem :)

    What are the drawbacks of allocating part (or ALL) of the fees to the DAO rather than burn? It's not like those DAO SPS tokens would hit the market anytime soon, and it would help the DAO build its stockpile for the coming years when SPS will stop being printed and the rewards will have to come from the DAO buying from the market.

    I think at token burn for the sake of burning is just a short-term solution to drive the price up a bit, but long-term we're going to want the DAO to have those tokens for sure.

      Personally, it's the market cap. People see the marketcap of a token to buy or not, typically the lower the better (more upside potential). If it's held by the DAO, it's still technically existent so the marketcap will be higher, but if it is burned the fully diluted value (FDV) will be lower, thus becoming a more attractive token to buy.

      In the long term it's good for the DAO to have tokens, but I don't believe the more the better. The DAO owning a portion of tokens is always at risk of bad governance leading to bad spending, or even a hack or something like that. Burned tokens are gone forever, no questions about it, so it's a bit safer in my opinion to have some tokens go to DAO and some burned, but never all to DAO or all burned.

      So at least we agree that it was probably best to split the fees between null and dao.
