Spicy Saturdays: Hot Take …. Burn The Treasury Nouns 🔥 I’m considering putting in a proposal for this, idea would be there would be a set date, say Halloween when the burn would take place…. So everyone can get their swaps in ahead of time. Rationale: giving out Nouns dilutes the governance of active participants…. && historically the % of Nouns given out that are left unused or delegated is larger than those given out that do participate. The dilution of governance was also something I mentioned in Nouncil, thankfully we passed a vote to raise voting participation rate to double the previous metric. I know it’s a spicy topic, but would love to hear everyone’s thoughts…. To burn or not to burn, that is the question. 🤔

I'll be a very loud no. There are some special nouns in there and shouldn't be burned but maybe no one is ready for them yet. And would be very hypocritical of me to say otherwise. There's only "dilution" if you actually believe in "book value" (which is BS frankly). What we should do instead is end the fork -- then no more treasury nouns will be created. Which if you're going to burn the existing treasury nouns, you need to deal with that issue anyway. What happens to forked nouns in the future? And raising the nouncil vote threshold to 40 was rash -- should have gone to 30 then 40 -- now we're just rubber stamping the same people back to nouncil so it's wasting quite a bit of time and energy. Agree it needed to be raised but there was a better step up option if anyone bothered to give it some thought.

If there are special Nouns those can be transferred to a contract so they will not be burned, maybe the $NOUNS contract pool or the token Wags is working on. The whole issue about BV is not something thats too concerning anymore because the margin continues to close & I believe the arbers & RFV traders are gone... we've had the 4th fork kicked off for almost 2 months and only 3 Nouns are in there. Governance dilution is much more important than BV.... for instance in Nouncil there are 77 members with an average of 35 votes on each prop.... sometimes not enough votes are cast so we miss threshold and abstain..... but by raising participation rate to 40% we go from 77 members to 53, going from 45% engagement to 66% which lowers quorum & threshold numbers, making it easier to achieve. Also the people who will be removed have to reapply which will reset their participation rates, if they fall below 40% they will be removed again.... I agree there are always better ways, but glad we took some action vs none.
