As Monad prepares for its mainnet launch on November 24, 2023, concerns are mounting regarding the project's tokenomics. The recent announcement of increased validator rewards, which will raise the total token supply from 100 billion to 108.2 billion, has sparked debates about fairness and decentralization within the ecosystem. The report expresses concern that these changes may lead to increased centralization and potential inequities among participants.
Increase in Token Supply
The decision to increase the token supply is primarily aimed at covering ongoing infrastructure and operational costs. However, critics argue that this move could undermine Monad's commitment to providing fair access to its platform. The increase in supply may disproportionately benefit early insiders and ecosystem funds, raising questions about the project's long-term governance and equity among participants.
Stakeholder Concerns
As the launch date approaches, stakeholders are voicing their concerns about the implications of these changes. The potential for increased centralization and the influence of early investors could pose risks to the project's integrity and its promise of a decentralized future. The Monad team will need to address these issues to maintain trust and support from the community as they move forward.
As discussions around Monad's tokenomics intensify, the importance of strong tokenomics in presales is highlighted by the recent case of Noomez. For more insights, see the article on tokenomics.
