I always consider malicious/mad man attack when discussing about incentive system.
- Incentivize the cost of gas for all those investments below $ 1000
In that case, I can easily divide my wallets below $1000 to avoid gas fee. Since Idle is non-custodial platform, I don’t think there’s any practical method to prevent this behavior.
- Incentivize the cost of gas for Governance votes.
I can agree on that. I’m not sure about HOW to enforce off-chain’s decision to on-chain wallets but AFAIK, we have 3 diffent fund for community usage. I think FeeTreasury fund and Ecosystem fund can be use to incentivize governance voting. (=paying gas fee) LTLP Fund is already hardcoded for its usage, and I prefer LTLP stay as it is.
and again… this can be sybil attacked too. I can divide my $IDLE to 0.01 per wallet and vote to deplete funds… So if we decide to paying voter’s gas fee, we might need some kind of batch transaction to prevent sybil attack. It can also cut down the expense of paying gas fee!
