Feasibility Analysis of Polkadot's Exploration to Drop Inflation Rate

Recently, Filippo Franchini, a technology educator at the Web3 Foundation, expressed his views on the handling of Polkadot's core time sale revenue on social media, sparking heated discussions within the community. He proposed to burn all core time sale revenue, believing that this is the only way to classify the revenue as "pure network income," which could bring more deflationary pressure to DOT.

This viewpoint has gained the approval of the majority of community members, but some believe that more data support is needed. Franchini further explained that even if the initial sales revenue is not high, burning them would generate a positive social effect, making DOT more attractive. He also pointed out that the increase in the ideal staking rate has doubled the treasury revenue brought by DOT inflation.

In fact, Jonas from the Web3 Foundation proposed in July on Github to burn the sales revenue from nuclear time. He believes this would help balance inflation, provide clear incentives, and achieve collective value. Jonas also suggested adjusting the current inflation model on the Polkadot forum to ensure that the treasury receives stable income.

Community members have differing opinions on these proposals. Some believe that more data support is needed, while others have proposed alternative suggestions. Overall, most people think that a more in-depth analysis and sufficient community discussion are necessary before advancing any significant changes.

The inflation issue of Polkadot involves multiple aspects, including Staking yield, treasury fund flow, and ecological application development. A high inflation rate may affect the psychology of coin holders and suppress ecological development. However, there are also viewpoints that a certain degree of inflation is necessary for the rapid development of Polkadot.

Regarding the disposal of nuclear time income, there are two main viewpoints: one is to directly burn everything, which is simple to operate and could bring deflationary expectations to Polkadot; the other may be more conducive to long-term flexible adjustment of the inflation rate.

Regardless of the approach taken, active participation from community members in discussions is essential for the long-term development of Polkadot. Expressing opinions on platforms such as Github and the Polkadot forum is an important way to engage in governance. Only by pooling ideas can we find the most suitable solutions for the development of Polkadot.
