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)
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.
