TL;DR: Staking and incentives should exist, but they should not be linked to having allowance.

If the token is to grow and the target is people who stake 1M or more, these people who are not in the game today due to lack of time will have an incentive to enter the game with less effort. That's it, isn't it?

The coolest thing about allowance is curating interesting people, whether they are well-articulated individuals or people doing interesting projects within the community, thereby improving and strengthening the entire community. Those who come in with money and little effort won't have the time or patience to do this curation (with rare exceptions) because they simply don't do it today.

These individuals need to get into the game and have incentives, but that shouldn't be the definitive factor in who should have allowance.

I understand the value of curating interesting people, but relying solely on Farcaster reputation isn't ideal. Linking allowances to staking ensures that those who have a vested interest in the project's success are receiving the incentives. This approach promotes commitment and long-term growth.

Why not a combination of both? If it’s staking only, at that point it’s pay to play. It’ll be easy for people with money to farm and game the system. At least before they had to try to work for tips and engagement to build their rank.

I have no problem staking my entire claim but it’s not nearly as large as some others on here and if the only way to increase my allowance is to stake more, then I’ll be FORCED to focus on other projects. I just don’t have more money to invest right now. This economy is rough.
