I’m doing my 1st proposal in the daodao, please let me know if anything needs improvement.
I’ve tried to put this text directly in the proposal, but i got some error, probably on the size of the message. Thus would link voting to this post.
Overview
The proposal, developed with Regen Foundation and BlockScience, suggests transitioning $REGEN tokenomics to a Fixed Cap + Dynamic Supply model. This combines the clarity and scarcity narrative of a capped supply (like Bitcoin) with adaptive mint/burn mechanisms responsive to network activity, staking ratios, and ecological metrics (inspired by Ethereum’s EIP-1559 but with feedback loops for stability).
Key Motivations
• Narrative strength: “Carrying capacity” metaphor aligns with Regen’s regenerative mission.
• Economic adaptability: Controlled regrowth rate (r) and burn functions provide supply flexibility while preventing inflation.
• Ecological integration: Regrowth rates can respond to verified ecological data (e.g., CO₂ change).
• Investor clarity: Simple, credible story for tokenholders while retaining operational flexibility.
Proposed Next Steps (3-month initiative)
1. Finalize Model & Parameters – Calibrate regrowth rate, burn triggers, and ecological data feeds.
2. Simulation & Stress Testing – Model long-term supply behavior under varied network conditions.
3. Stakeholder Workshops – Engage validators, tokenholders, ecocredit actors for design feedback.
4. Governance Integration – Prepare proposals and code changes for Cosmos SDK modules.
5. Education & Comms – Publish explainer, infographics, validator guides.
Expected Outcomes
• Live simulation dashboard
• Community consensus on key parameters
• Governance proposal ready for Q4 2025
• Educational materials to support adoption
Supportive View
• Strong alignment with Regen’s ecological and economic goals.
• Offers both scarcity narrative and practical flexibility.
• Links token value more directly to ecological asset flows (sales, retirements, credit class creation).
• Tools to manage network funding needs while reinforcing ecological mission.
Critical View
• Model has merit, but timing is premature.
• Priority should be growing market volume, liquidity, and wider token distribution first.
• Inflation changes haven’t yet reached enough participants to matter.
• Without strong market demand and usage, a supply-cap narrative won’t drive value.
• Risk: distraction from urgent needs like liquidity incentives, user growth, and trading depth.
Call to Action for Signalling Vote
• Vote YES to initiate research, simulation, and design work toward implementing the model, or
• NO if you believe Regen should focus first on market traction before major tokenomic redesign.
