$DEGEN

TLDR: +500k DEGEN of the 4.5M total is lost per day due to over-staking. See Dune query below. 👇🏼 

Long read:
Currently if you stake more DEGEN than is needed for a 10k allowance the excess allowance is still allocated to you. You are just not able to tip it so these DEGEN are lost.

A better way would be to distribute these excess $DEGEN to the stakers who have <10k allowances.

The following Dune query shows the impact of the current formula vs the formula that distributes all 4.5M DEGEN.

Since some over-stake Degen, part of the tip allowance pool becomes unavailable to everyone. Any ideas on a fair way to distribute those locked tip allowances to both over-stakers and other users? Someone staking a few million Degen should get some perks. We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Why not consider an exponential allocation instead of a directly proportional allocation?

For example:

    For the first 10K Degen, you get 100 Degen as allocation.
    For the next 10K Degen, you get 80 Degen.
    For the next 10K Degen, you get 70 Degen, and so on.

I mean the percentage weigtage varies when you add more degen to the vault.
