There’s an old Sid Meier mechanism design maxim where he said that if you wanted to see if a setting was doing something, you had to either double it or cut it in half.
We have already gotten some feedback from validators that it can be unpredictable how much SOL will a certain amount of MNDE on the gauges get them. I expect that a gradual 1% increase would make the change imperceptible, and would thus lead to no real increased interest.
If there is a general uncertainty about a one-time jump to 20%, then a middle path could be:
- One time jump to 15%;
- Empowering the team to increase it another 5% (let’s say) 4 weeks later without an onchain proposal;
- If after seeing the effects the DAO feels that another bump would cause a problem, then anyone can introduce a proposal before that to stop the second bump.
