Thank you for you input, Carlos. Having a steep curve should help keeping the premium within a narrow band. But it will likely also cause large fluctuations in rewards. While I personally don't see this as a big problem, I would not be opposed to extending the curve. Treating the rewards distribution as a control system problem, the current implementation is a simple proportional-controller. Simplicity is virtue, and I will not suggest making the controller more complicated. But it would help defining a few parameters: While it would be easy to set the premium target to 0%, there are good reasons for having a slight positive premium. It seems the current code has been written with a premium target of 2%. I don't see a reason to change this. The equilibrium is impossible to predict accurately as it depends on outside factors like the Anchor interest rate and the stock market sentiment. But an educated guess could be that the equilibrium over time is an equal distribution to longs and shorts. I.e. a fraction of 0.5. The curve you posted above fulfills a 2% premium target with a rewards equilibrium of 0.5. Since the curve has long tails, I would define the controller range as the 95% interval (0.025-0.975 distribution fraction). This puts the range in the curve to +/-2%. If we want to keep the current steepness of the curve, we could increase the premium range to +/-5%. In a future version, maybe all three parameters could be added to the governance system. This of course requires a lot more work than simply changing the hard coded numbers as I have done in this pull request. |

Yes, I agree ideally we would have a function that can adapt to the parameters you suggest. For now, since this is a provisional solution to try to lower the premiums we can just go with a prefabricated one. I think the steering committee is discussing if we go with the flatter curve or if we lower the cap. Let's move forward after a decision is made. |

Okay, so since the 100% poll did not pass, we will prepare the change for 80% weight cap and submit the poll to see if the poll passes. |
