$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!

Per @reneecampbell, maybe it's as simple as just sharing the whale overstake among the bottom most stakes (ie, 10k stakes) evenly. No one would get much and nothing would be wasted by whale aggression.

Lift the bottom, headwind for the top.

How would this affect staking trends generally?

Exactly! The top don’t need any extra perk. We all knew what the limit was set at.

i’d just spread it evenly to allocation of all accounts under 10k allocation

I was going to suggest exactly this. It's the answer. Help the little guys participate and keep degen present everywhere here.

This is the way… or the Wake?

Easy for me to say as a firm member of the bottom

This proposal is excellent, thank you !!!

This! Otherwise people wont stake just because the pool is too big

Why not just remove the over staked amounts from the equation in determining all other staker’s share of the tipping pool? 

Honestly, that’s how I thought it was going to work in the first place until I saw Jacek’s message confirming any excess stake locks up that share of the allowance pool…

This encourages small stakes, which isn't exactly what you want. 

My vote is to simply cap it in the algo at whatever pool % ownership it would be if they hit their max allowance and nothing more.

If a step change at the bottom doesn't work (for whatever reason) then a logarithmic increase towards the bottom could also be done. Everybody who staked gets rewarded, the bottom gets the most.
