Odaily News SushiSwaps new CEO Jared Gray announced a new token economics proposal aimed at increasing liquidity, creating more utility for its native token sushi, and maximizing value for stakeholders. The formal proposal stated that like the xSushi model that was originally hoped to be realized, the main goal of the new economics is to promote decentralized ownership and reward liquidity growth through a holistic and sustainable reward mechanism that scales with volume and fees .Our goal is to incentivize long-term participation in the sushi ecosystem while reducing the number of extraction participants.”
The proposal outlines four key changes to the protocol’s token economics. The biggest change is that staking Sushi (xSushi) will no longer be rewarded with transaction fee income, but will be rewarded with emission-based rewards paid in Sushi. The liquidity provider of the trading pool that generates the most trading volume will receive the majority of the Swap fee. Additionally, players can opt for a new time-lock mechanic to boost rewards. The floating ratio transaction fee will also be used to repurchase and destroy Sushi from the open market, and lock in liquidity to provide more price support. The final change will be to change Sushis emissions to 1-3% APY to reduce inflation and balance overall emissions with buybacks, burns, and locked liquidity used for price support for transaction fees .
