The first milestone of the new economics model has now been fully shipped, and is going to be activated on the 2nd December. After one month of public dialogue, an open governance phase with an overwhelmingly positive vote, the team has taken the time to implement and fully test the first economics module - staking v5 The mainnet release has now been announced publicly on Monday, with the activation to be done on 2nd of December. This an important ralying milestone for the network. But why does this matter, and for whom? First, this is a direct call to activation for users and investors. The staking rewards for securing and investing in the network have nearly doubled. All things being equal, this is a great moment to take a stake in the network, and become an active participant. Second, this is a direct call to participation for validators. The new competitive staking rewards, mean that validators can renew their offering for users they are serving all over the world. Competitive rewards, enables users to be served much better. Third, this is a prep for builders. With the new rewards, there are two buckets being soon enabled. A first one for simple staking rewards, and a second one for new DEFI yield strategies. Thinking about how those can be used effectively, and how they can be employed to serve the network and users better, is a good starting point. The work on the first economics module is now done, and the release is in full motion. A great effort put in by the team, while working heavily on Supernova stabilization. Users, investors, validators and builders get a fresh incentive to deploy capital. For people that see the value of the network, this is a good moment to engage, fructify the opportunity, and become an active part of the economy.(Beniamin Mincu |🇺🇸/acc)
