- Justin Sun suggested that the Tron community should reduce block rewards
- He believes it would benefit the network to increase deflation and improve the network
- This is only a suggestion and will be decided by the community
Tron Founder Justin Sun suggested that the community discuss reducing block rewards to increase deflation on the back of TRX price increase. He is targeting Bitcoin in this, highlighting that this is one of its key advantages, and it would help TRX move up in the top cryptocurrencies.
Details On Justin Sun’s Proposal Regarding Reducing the Reward for Tron Blocks
Seeing the active prioritization and adaptation of Bitcoin, Justin Sun supports the proposal for taking the best practices that have lifted it to the top and improving Tron’s deflationary mechanisms, especially amid TRX’s recent price rise.
Specifically, he said:
“Due to TRX’s rising price, the rewards for block-producing nodes across the network have increased significantly, so a moderate reduction could be considered.”
In his rather detailed proposal, he highlights 4 key objectives that can be achieved by such changes:
- Enhance Deflation. Lowering the TRX block rewards will enhance the network’s deflation rate, potentially increasing its value.
- Incentivize Staking. Leveraging the advantage of TRON’s staking model, the increase in TRX value can encourage more users to stake TRX to obtain the resources for transactions.
- Strengthen Network Security. Increased staking participation strengthens the network’s security by locking up more TRX.
- Improve Economic Incentives. Align token distribution with the maturity of the network, ensuring that incentives remain robust and meaningful for both new participants and long-term holders. Mainstream blockchain protocols have implemented similar adjustments to maintain sustainable development.
And yet, among other things, he insists on deflation in particular, emphasizing the potential and outlining the prospects, which one has to admit sound quite impressive:
“If (daily block rewards are) reduced by 2 million TRX, the deflation rate would rise to 2% per year, effectively doubling the deflation rate, with an impact on TRX cycles comparable to Bitcoin’s halving.”
And while it offers specific mechanisms for doing so, in particular proponents of reducing the number of TRX validators receive an increase in TRX value by increasing the level of deflation. But still, it does not specify the specific amount of the reward reduction, which also creates some ambiguity.
“It is proposed to adjust these two network parameters to reduce the TRX production rates. Everyone is welcome to make specific suggestions and participate in discussion on the setting of reasonable parameter values.”
Conclusion
An interesting initiative designed to increase the value of Tron, especially since the problem of inflation in the economy is one of the most central topics right now.
On the other hand, the ratio of additional rewards to the size of their overall reduction is still unclear – whether this will motivate the community or vice versa. But this is a fundamental mechanism for the ecosystem, and the changes will affect all Tron users without exception, so we will keep an eye on this decision and its details.
