I think having the airdrop staked with the DAO and applying a 75% reduction in a good idea and something we also discussed on Jupresearch on different topics (there were different ideas and applications of how it could be done).
The community was discussing more moderate percentages and timeframes (75% and 1 year is quite extreme), but sometimes extreme is effective and I think it would work as a strong holding incentive.
It’s also a great way to introduce people to the DAO and to the ASR which could result in many people continuing to HODL and stake beyond the 1 year period.
This should definitely help avoid concentrated sell pressure, which in turn should help avoid sharp price drops and volatility. The price of any asset drops when sell pressure is greater than buy pressure. Gradual release of tokens is a great way to manage and spread out the sell pressure and contribute to price stability!
Idea for applying gradual token introduction
I do have a meaningful suggestion about the introduction of the tokens (this suggestion is made assuming we would indeed start at 75% reduction for day 1 claim and making it last ~ 1 year before it’s 0% reduction).
My suggestion is to have daily reductions of 0.2% for 375 days (starting at 75% and ending at 0%). Find the proposal here:
