If this is not technically possible; then create a mechanism to burn some of the rewards for new nodes, descending with time, until you reach full rewards Since speaking with my people about this, and honestly I myself was already planning 3 years (2.5 minimum) I can say that we are interested in this time lock mechanism. We are more than happy to be the spearhead of this schema! Can this be worked into the proposal made by our fearless leader last night? I feel that the ability to retain a slightly higher reward rate would spur possibly 50% more or less node runners to go ahead and do a time lock, which in turn would absolutely support the token price by creating a scarcity in supply flowing out of nodes. Maybe something along these lines: down over 6 months from 90% 10% DAO To nodes at 41% 20%DAO How about for tokens locked 5 years 70% 4 years 62% 3 years 56% 2 years. 50% 1 year 45% So I propose that as @o_rourke 's plan is proposed and possibly enacted that this deflationary lock of tokens in the node side be written in to the prop. Or should be separate prop? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.pokt.network/t/pup-12-inflation-stop-gap-proposal-double-trouble/2011)._
