When discussing the 4% annual inflation of $LA in the community, someone jokingly said: "It's like the bank charging a little account management fee every year." Although it was a joke, when you think about it carefully, it is indeed quite vivid.
In the past, whenever I heard the term "inflation," my first reaction was: not good, the tokens will depreciate. But later, after hearing everyone explain, I gradually understood: this 4% is not just printing money randomly, but is used to reward those nodes that maintain network stability. In other words, this "extra" token is actually a salary for those who protect the system.
This design reminds me of real life. The electricity, internet, and transportation we use every day also have maintenance costs. If no one pays to support them, these services cannot operate for long. The blockchain is the same; Lagrange allows $LA to take on the role of this "maintenance fee."
So I began to look at this matter from a different perspective. Rather than saying inflation is a risk, it is more accurate to say it is a kind of promise: as long as you continue to participate and contribute, the network will reward you. This logic makes me feel that LA is more like an "ecological ticket" rather than just a simple digital asset.
