The Cosmos community has released a proposal to research and implement a new tokenomics model for the ATOM token. The core of the proposed model aims to shift the network's economic structure towards a revenue and fee-based system, moving away from pure inflation-based incentives. Key aspects of the proposal include gradually increasing staking rewards to favor long-term holders and implementing a strategic reduction in inflation. These changes are designed to align the token's utility more closely with the network's usage and value capture, aiming to improve value accrual and economic sustainability for ATOM holders. [Update 1] Additional reports confirm that the proposal specifically targets initiating research into this transition. The focus remains on incentivizing long-term holding through increased rewards while simultaneously curbing inflation to restructure the economic model.
