Cosmos Rejects Atom Inflation Reduction

Cosmos

Members of the Cosmos community voted against Proposal 868, which aimed to implement a major change to the network’s economic policy by reducing the minimum inflation parameter from 7% to 0% if more than two-thirds of the supply is bonded. However, this proposal did not gain support.

Proposal 868, submitted by Stakelab, a contributor to Cosmos, aimed to reduce inflationary pressures on the ATOM token, especially in scenarios where a significant portion of the coins are bonded.

Despite the potential benefits highlighted by the proposal owner, such as reducing the inflation rate if the total bond token supply increases, concerns were raised about the implications of reducing the inflation rate to zero, particularly its impact on the security of the Hub.

The Hub acts as the central hub of the Cosmos Ecosystem, facilitating communication and interoperability between the many blockchains built on Cosmos. ATOM is the native token of the Hub, used for transaction fees, security, and governance.

The inflation rate on the Cosmos Hub had been a major point of discussion in 2023. Some contributors to Cosmos want it to be as minimal as possible, believing that this optimizes fresh emissions.
