CIP-0084: Tokenomics Committee to Recommend $/MB Price Tuning
- Please see below open for discussion:Number: TBA
Title: Tokenomics Committee to Recommend $/MB Price Tuning
Author(s): W. Eric Saraniecki
Type: Tokenomics
Status: Draft
Created: 2025-10-01Summary
This CIP proposes that the Tokenomics Committee has the right to recommend adjustments to the ledger cost parameter ($/MB) to the Super Validators (SVs) without a CIP each time. This will enable proactive management of accelerated scaling demand while longer-term scaling investments are deployed.
Motivation
The Canton Network is experiencing incredible demand and has rapidly accelerating momentum across institutional and retail adoption.
Institutional Onboarding: A significant waiting list exists for new validators.
Retail Readiness: Retail motions are beginning to onboard users by the 10s of thousands with continued pent up demand.
Asset Growth: Multiple new assets are expected to come online in quick succession.
All leading to rapidly accelerating expansion and adoption of the Network
Long-term scaling investments are in progress. However, in the short term, the network requires some adjustment to align incentives and maintain orderly scaling.
Proposed Changes
Until a new CIP revokes this process
The Tokenomics Committee will periodically review on-chain and off-chain scaling data.
Based on its assessment, the Committee will make recommendations to Super Validators regarding the appropriate cost per MB ($/MB) to use the ledger.
SVs should implement these recommendations, ensuring alignment with network stability and scaling objectives.
The purpose of these adjustments is to:
Manage increasing demand in a controlled and orderly manner.
Maintain the highest level of network stability as activity ramps up.
Provide sufficient time for scaling investments to be realized and adopted.
- Five North can endorse this if we plan to move it to a vote.
