Fantom General Update | August 15 2022

Update

Been away for summer holiday? Here’s what happened in the Fantom ecosystem in the last 14 days.

New governance proposal: Lower Staking Rewards

A new proposal seeks to adjust staking rewards downwards as fee income for validators and stakers has grown 18x year-over-year. This means the network is in a strong position and could provide a longer run-rate for emissions and adjust rewards to the market-rate.
