​A community vote on optimizing TON tokenomics.

Voting day has arrived. We invite all Toncoin holders to take part in the community proposal of tokenomics optimization on ton.vote.

Ton.vote is a voting platform created by a community contributor, Orbs team, led by Tal Kol. This platform is open for all Toncoin holders, regardless of the size of their holdings or whether the person is a validator or not. While the result of this voting does not have a binding effect on the network itself, it empowers all Toncoin holders to cast a vote and let their voice and opinion on important matters be heard in the community.

The community vote will last for seven days from February 14 13:00 PM UTC to February 21 13:00 PM  UTC. Once this vote is completed, the network vote – the vote casted by validators with their staked Toncoin – will take place from approximately February 21 to February 24.

After both votes are concluded, ton.vote will count and display a combined result along with various analytics to help better understand the demographics of voters.

It is important to note that the community vote cannot result in changing the blockchain configurations like the network vote can. However, the collective voice of the community is indeed of critical importance for the validators in making a decision that truly reflects the opinion of all types of Toncoin holders. We encourage every single Toncoin holder to take advantage of this opportunity.

Since the proposal was published, the community engaged in discussions through various avenues, both private and public.

On the one hand, advocates of the proposal argue that it does not break the tenets of decentralization if only the inactive early miners’ wallets are impacted. On the other hand, those who are against the proposal argue that such a move may be viewed as setting a negative precedent, especially to those who are not fully aware of all the circumstances.

We are encouraging everyone to read the two different arguments set forth by vocal members in the TON community, below, in order to make an informed decision.

Finally, on behalf of the community, we would like to thank those who made it possible to allow everyone to vote on the ton.vote platform and all of those who are voluntarily participating in this consensus process together.
