Thank you for your reply.
To be clear, I agree with the goal of shifting revenue allocation to liquidity and improving chain performance.
It is the most important factor in attracting the platform’s key customers - retail traders, market makers and institutional investors.
On the other hand, I also believe it is important to get the message right.
Just as validator profit and loss estimates complicate the discussion,
Claims and rationales need to be carefully constructed.
Why I mentioned that the direction should be clearer,
I was concerned about the basis for some of your claims,
so only negative aspects might be spread.
Nevertheless, I think it is good that various experts in the community are sharing their wisdom and exploring alternatives in this forum.
(It reminds me of the Commonwealth era…)
As I have nothing more useful to offer on the topic, I will now watch the discussion.
I hope it will bring the community back to life again and create good synergy.
P.S. As I am based in Japan, I would like to add that @Cosmic_Validator claims are true.
To give an example, a bare metal server that meets the dYdX Chain’s recommended specifications costs approximately 302USD per month to run on “Sakura Internet”.
“Sakura Internet” is a large company, and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
It can therefore be said that operational costs can be eliminated from the discussion.
Disclaimer: I am delegating to PRO Delegators(@Govmos) so have no conflict of interest with Cosmic Validator.
