The cap on emissions has helped make the allocation process faster and easier to coordinate every epoch. This comes at the cost at capping incentives as well
This discussion is to move towards a cap setting that is connected to 2 variables that will help better align incentives.
-Existing holdings
-Emissions held from last epoch
One example is
User X has 4 skill roles - the emission for those is 80,000 GRAPE
They are holding 100,000 GRAPE
They received 30,000 GRAPE last emission and sold 0 GRAPE
Gorilla = 20,000
Emission ladder = 10,000
Cap amount = 20,000
Max emission is then calculated (this is an example formula)
(holdings/gorilla)( ladder)(last epoch emission remaining/last epoch emission sent)
(100,000/20,000)*(10,000) * (20,000/20,000) = 50,000
Using this formula the user would receive 50,000 + 20,000 = 70,000
This is a STUPID formula – its just an example for how the variables could be used
For discussion to be valuable - DO NOT FOCUS ON THIS FORMULA - some things I think are valuable to discuss:
Variables to use
Formulas to propose
Data points needed to explore this concept
Reasons why we should not have emissions calculated using any formula
