This proposal introduces activity-responsive tokenomics for Kusama through burns instead of a hard cap.
Key changes:
• Base inflation: 7.82% → 5%
• Fee burn: 50%
• Treasury inflow burn: 10%
• Treasury balance burn: 1% per period (100K KSM floor)
• Coretime burn: 25%
Result: Net inflation reduced from 7.82% to ~4.25% — a 46% reduction.
This proposal is complementary to @olanod's validator/core reduction plan. Together they address both supply side (burns) and cost side (validators).
