Hi, Yiannis
The Tokenomics Working Group does not have consensus on whether or not to apply different weights to different Featured Apps.
The original plan would have gone live with a weight of 1 for all featured apps, but some apps, like issuers, would have received rewards at a very low traffic cost, while other apps, like trading venues and wallets, would have paid most traffic costs without proportionate rewards.
The counter proposal is to weight more highly those apps that submit composed (DvP, DvD, etc.) transactions. However, this would require the UI for voting on these weights to go live before the actual rewards generation goes live.
The new plan allows this separation: the UI for voting on differential featured app weights will go live tomorrow, allowing weights to be applied once there's agreement on what the weights should be. Then actual traffic-based reward issuance will go live via a separate onchain action, which will be voted on and take effect after the weights votes are complete.
