Di new governance action comot di economic parameter from di Plutus memory changes wey make di previous proposal need SPO approval.
By SongMarketCap
New Cardano governance action don propose say make dem reduce minPoolCost from 170 to 75 ADA. Dem submit am on September 11, and di standalone proposal follow one earlier bundled action wey expire because e no get enough support from stake pool operators.
New Action Get Only One Parameter Change
Di active proposal go reduce di minimum fixed cost wey stake pool fit declare from ₳170 go ₳75. Dem don remove di Plutus transaction and block memory limits wey dem include for di previous action.
Voting go close on October 11, 2026. As at di review time on September 13, ten DReps don vote Yes and three don vote No. Yes votes represent about 79.84 million ADA, wey put DRep approval for 1.53% against di required 67% threshold.
One of di seven Constitutional Committee members don find di action constitutional. Di other six never vote yet, so committee approval dey 14.29% against di 66.67% threshold.
Why SPO Approval No Longer Applies
Di previous action join di minPoolCost reduction with higher Plutus memory limits per transaction and block. Because block memory dey inside security-relevant parameter group, di entire package need approval from more than 51% of active SPO stake.
Dat proposal reach 68.57% DRep support but only 34.5% SPO support. E expire on September 1 without ratification.
Di new action contain only one economic parameter change. Na DReps go vote on di proposal, while di Constitutional Committee go assess whether e comply with di Cardano Constitution. SPO voting no dey available for dis action.
Lower Floor Target Small Pool Economics
MinPoolCost define di lowest fixed cost wey stake pool fit deduct from rewards before dem share di remaining amount between di operator and delegators.
Reducing di parameter no go automatically change every pool declared cost. Operators fit still keep higher amount, while pools wey dey use di current minimum go get option to lower am.
Di proposal rationale talk say di 2023 reduction from ₳340 go ₳170 don gradually lose im effect as reserve-funded rewards don decline. For pool wey produce one block during one epoch, di current minimum fit swallow large share of di reward and reduce wetin remain for delegators.
Di projection wey follow estimate say dis fixed-cost burden fit reach di value of entire single-block epoch reward around epoch 758, approximately February 2028, if dem no change di parameter.
To separate di proposal go give Cardano governance direct decision on whether di current floor still match small-pool economics. Ratification now depend on DReps reaching 67% support and at least two-thirds of di Constitutional Committee finding di action constitutional before October 11.
