Just watched the vid thanks for posting. I like the idea of gas fees being distributed to validators. I did some quick math, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Avg transaction volume of 2.5m per day over last 6 months. ([Reference](https://harmony-transactions.vercel.app/))  
Current Price of ONE: $0.04

Baseline gas cost to send ONE .00063 ONE \* $0.04 = $0.0000252

2,500,000 daily transactions \* $0.0000252 per send = $63

$63 \* 365 = $22,995

Multiplied by 10x to get better mid range price of transactions, inline with  
Uniswap trades or Opensea sales. 10 \* $22,995 = $229,950 per year.

This would be able to support a stipend of about **$100 per month** per validator. Which could go along way in supporting some of the smaller validators.

As the price goes back up though there should be a limit to gas fees distributed as rewards with the rest being burnt to reduce inflationary pressure.
