- Kusama started with 10 million KSM tokens.
- Now there are over 17 million tokens.
- Too many new tokens are made, which lowers the value.
- About half of new tokens are sold right away.
- This proposal wants to limit the total to 21 million KSM.
- It would cut new tokens by 55% in 2025, then 15% less every two years.
- This helps Kusama be more like Bitcoin, with a fixed supply.
- The goal is to make Kusama stronger and fairer for everyone.
