Lower the tax rate to encourage higher on-chain volume

Small addition:
I also saw a comment about the 1.2% tax keeping stakers, and with a lower tax they might leave.
I personally dont think that the tax matters at all (to a certain hight, if it was 10% or higher, but not at 1.2, or 0). I think the 3 weeks undelegating is what keeps the stakers and the high yield.
I personally wanted to sell when it was at 0.0006 to rebuy at lower levels. But it didnt, because i staked all my coins. So i think, anybody only wants to sell if they have very high profits and then a couple % tax doesnt matter, but the 3 weeks undelegating does, because you dont know what the price will be in 3 weeks with this volatality (or even in "normal circumstances), so you keep your coins staked and earn a garuanteed interest.

This is a good proposal. However greedy people won’t agree with it. They though 1.2 burn faster. Only if they know how to use math properly will agree with this.

We should seriously consider burning all staking rewards…

Instead of increasing the supply in our wallets, we would be increasing the value of what’s already there ~ so, staking would still have reason and value…

What do you think about:

A sunset clause for the tax in 12/18/24 months.
A review every 3/6/9/12 months to consider how good the tax is or where the tax is going.
A review on 7th December, findings published on Agora on14th December and vote on 21st December on long term viability of tax.

Is the proposal up already? Can’t seem to find it.

I always thought between 0.1 to 0.5% was reasonable. IMO 0.2% is definitely good as it feels like “double trading fees” on CEXs, which is psychologically acceptable for most people. Intuitively, there is no doubt that a lower tax would boost volume.

I just have one wish - how to convince all CEXs to implement a 0.2% if ever this proposal did get green lighted…what can members of the community do to help (except from voting).

Never. The statistics speak for themselves. And the burning of tokens goes full sail

Move forward with 0.2% tax rate and grant program to attract utility on-chain. :tada::tada:
