Its main goal is to reduce ICP token inflation by more than 70% this year. Primarily, ICP inflation comes from newly minted tokens that are rewarded to node providers and governance participants. Recent data reports that these rewards currently drive inflation at approximately 14% per year. For some time, community members have expressed concerns about high inflation diluting the value of the token. However, it can be offset by strong on-chain usage.
Following the release of the white paper, DFINITY plans to submit a formal proposal to the Network Nervous System (NNS). It is described as an on-chain governance system, allowing ICP stakeholders to vote for or against changes. If passed, the anti-inflation changes would be implemented directly into the protocol.
