i finally processed everything you spoke off 
first i see it as a perfect solution that can be perfected further with time. the high APR is neither good or bad as long as it serves a purpose, in our case it fulfill only part of the purpose, that part is allowing the network to grow in term of node count. the second purpose of this high inflation is that we are providing the service for free in order to acquire clients and build reputation, the payment comes from the minting process of pokt. this marketing is amazing and it is similar in the defi space for LP and staking, the problem for projects is that most work with capped supply so the APY ends sooner than later, people leave and the project is suffocating. here on pokt there is not limit but we are burning our free subscriptions for one game, defi kingdom .
if we want to maximize our marketing strategy we want to offer this package of free use to more Dapps:
-
we need to start lowering the APR each month gradually, to protect node operators who bought the top lately and new ones who are just joining from getting caught in a sharp change, we will do so till we reach our desired APR value, this will slow down the minting and prolong our free USE for new clients created by this inflation.
-
if it’s possible to adjust the WAGMI APR for a specific project , this will be the holy grail with a project like defi kingdom who is responsible for a lot of the inflation.
do we have a number in mind how many tokens we wish to have at the end of this growth phase?
how much the network is being utilized today in % in term of relays and dapps?
do we have a number of nodes we expect to have in 6 and 12 months time?
what is the USD value ± we wish for each node to lock? this is directly correlated to supply, price and this is a thing i am unsure how easy it is t change? it can 2x or 3x or reverse and cut the amount of nodes.
got carried so i will stop here
.
i am for the WAGMI, it will simply give us control, regarding the numbers? we will discuss and vote on it :
another thought that came to mind is to start “charging” defi kingdom to burn some of their staked pokt, it can even be a time frame based that after 6 months or X amount of relays of free use, a project begins to burn a certain amount of pokt. now i am way off topic…lol
thx for bringing such an elegant and flexible solution!
