RFC: Add a block reward and improve Collators cycle

Hey everyone,

Just a few thoughts and hopefully clarification on the questions that have been asked.

  • Altair will implement the same reward mechanism, but the funds instead of minted (inflation - 3% yearly) they will be pulled from the treasury, that is already funded.
  • Most of the relevant parameters (collator reward … etc) will be configurable by governance
  • Regarding the Staking pallet, to be clear, we will adopt the staking pallet that is more widely used by the community, and parachain-staking seems that is going in that direction, for a more complex solution, that users can stake easily, see rewards and state it will require UIs, performance, audits etc. We are evaluating this constantly and we will propose a long term solution for voting as soon as we have the bandwidth to research and build an educated decision about this.

All the best,
