This Qt'ed interaction has 3 major implications I'll highlight;

​

🔹Inflation Cut by Half

NEAR will propose to reduce protocol inflation from ~5% → ~2.5, which means lesser $NEAR token in supply.

🔹 Better Yields, Less Dilution

with reduced inflation, stakers can expect APYs of ~6–8% depending on market conditions.

🔹 Staking. incentives.

A new staking incentive program "House of Stake" is in the works;

curated benefits, additional rewards, and boosted yield multipliers for those who commit longer and align with network health.

​

FYI; smaller validators are considered too with an incentive plan.

TL;DR:

• 50% drop in inflation

• 6–8% APY range for stakers

• Long-term staking gets boosted via House of Stake

• A proposal will be out for validators to vote

​

Bullish catalyst for @NEARProtocol ?
