Prime Stake Pool

SPO Table Talk | Monday June 1 | 13:30 UTC Improving Cardano Reward Sharing Scheme - A Debate Join us Monday, June 1 at 13:30 UTC for a dedicated SPO Table Talk as we dive into the Cardano Incentives Working Group's Ekklesia ballot. After more than a year of weekly meetings, simulations, tooling, and deep community research, the Cardano Incentives Working Group has released its Ekklesia ballot. There are 5 items in total: 3 CIPs, two of which also include a vote on initial parameter values using Majority Judgment, a ranked-choice style voting method. Here is a brief overview of what each proposal aims to address: CIP-50 | Pledge Leverage Cap Introduces a new parameter "L" that caps how much stake a pool can effectively use relative to its pledge, with the goal of strengthening Sybil resistance and encouraging better pledge alignment across the network. CIP-163 | Time-Bound Delegation and Dynamic Rewards Introduces a `delegatorInactivity` parameter measured in epochs. Wallets that have gone dormant would no longer earn rewards or contribute voting power until reactivated. Rather than returning unclaimed rewards to the reserve, the full rewards pot would be distributed among active participants. CIP-23 | Fair Minimum Pool Fees Proposes replacing the existing flat per-epoch `minPoolCost` with a `minPoolMargin` parameter, a minimum variable fee expressed as a percentage of rewards, with the aim of creating a more level playing field across pools of all sizes. Note that in this ballot, DReps vote with voting power, SPOs vote with pledge. Why this roundtable? The ballot is already live, and it is not without controversy. Several No votes have already been cast, making it clear there are differing views in the community. This is the conversation we need to have openly. We will walk through the proposals, give voice to the counterarguments, take your questions live, and close with a call to action. Joining will be: @Cerkoryn | Incentives Working Group @earncoinpool | Incentives Working Group SPOs / DReps: @nimuepool @Straightpool4 @hix_coffeepool @C1cADA_Markus Come ready to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and make your voice heard before the vote closes.
