Injective proposal to reduce inflation receives 99% approval, voting is on

Injective’s tokenomics proposal aims to make INJ deflationary, and it proposes a plan to reduce the on-chain parameters for new token minting. Since its launch, Injective has introduced several measures to reduce INJ inflation, token burn auctions on mainnet launch, token burn auctions were then expanded to decentralized applications (DApps) in the network. 

The expected outcomes of the proposal are to make INJ deflationary. The proposal reads, “Injective aims to emulate and eventually surpass the disinflationary characteristics of Bitcoin to become the most deflationary crypto asset.” 

The proposal focuses on a controlled reduction in the inflation rate by balancing participation incentives and token scarcity, attracting new traders and early adopters to its blockchain network. The inflation rate change parameter, once increased to 0.5, will allow Injective to react swiftly to fluctuations in staking and ensure that the protocol is resilient. 

The new proposal is open to vote until April 23.

The portal shows that 99.99% voters have voted in favor of the proposal, according to the forum.
