Cool to see that the minimum inflation is hit, by having such a high percentage of XPRT bonded. I was not around in the period of the previous halving, so I don’t have any experience with the times before it.
From a delegator point of view I think it would be better if the change would be combined with other means of value accrual for XPRT. I don’t think that holders will be against it, but it can be more easily digested if the value accrual for holding and staking XPRT is upgraded at the same time the emission is going down. Then it becomes more like a balance.
From a validator point of view I think it would be good if the combination is sought with some more spreading of the VP over the chain. Right now the top validator has now nearly 10% of the Voting Power but it is questionable how much this validator contributes. If the VP would be a bit more evenly distributed it becomes already less of a worry for a validator if the inflation is cut.
From an investor point of view it would be good if there would be a plan / roadmap behind inflation corrections. Is there a set timeframe for assessing the inflation? Or is it just because the inflation has now reached the minimum inflation parameter which triggers this? Predictability is a good thing to have.
