Dear ser @khaleelkazi
With the changes you are talking about, is there any benefit on the social app side of things to stack LEO?
Like will upvotes matter from stake?
0
0
0.000
That's a very good question and been thinking about the same. I wouldn't want to see the see the social side go down :(
yeah i didn’t even know this was a thing. just saw some rethreads about it lol
I remember it being talked about during previous AMA but I got a bit distracted at that point so not 100% sure what it will mean
my fault for not attending them. i need to keep updated lol
@brando28 @jongolson I highly recommend the pod I did with @taskmaster445le on Friday as it’s a deep dive on it
nothing changes for how INLEO works as a social app. The only change is the inflow of tokens: a better answer to the time-old question of “where do the rewards come from?”
Right now, we say inflation.
In this new scenario, we say buybacks.
Premium + ads + creator subs + any other INLEO-based revenue buyback the LEO token and those LEOs bought daily are the new rewards pool.
Stark contrast to current day where it’s just inflation. New tokens minted and people earning and selling. We’ve seen this model not working on the base chain + LEO for years now
New investors looking at LeoDex don’t want to buy Leo right now because they’re seeing the Leo token get inflated to pay social rewards which have no impact to them on the DEX side.
The proposal here is to split where rewards come from and disable inflation permanently:
One LEO token unites us all and the success of INLEO and LeoDex together is the most ideal outcome for any token holder. It is highly likely that if you’re using INLEO, you’re using LeoDex and vice versa. The Leo token is instantly convertible between chains (the bridge fees by the way burn LEO).
cont….
it’s only through subs and ads. so growing ones stake is no longer a benefit on the social side? as upvotes would be gone
That’s the part that stings a little if true…
If upvotes are no longer tied to stake, and rewards come only from *subs and ads then yeah growing your LEO stake for social influence (via upvotes) might lose its weight.
Unless stake still affects distribution of those revenue-funded rewards (like more stake = bigger share of daily buybacks?), it could shift LEO Power into more of a governance/visibility tool rather than an earning mechanism.
Would love more clarity on whether staking still gives any edge in reward allocation or content visibility within this new model.
exactly my question as well
if your stake contributes to how many rewards get dished out, i get it. makes sense. kinda.
i mean i understand why khal wants to do this as he taps into the dex customers
Exactly! it makes total sense from a platform sustainability and DEX growth angle. Revenue-backed rewards are way more appealing to investors than inflation-based ones.
But yeah, the key question remains:
Does stake still determine your slice of the buyback pie?
If not, then it’s hard to justify growing stake purely for social rewards.
That clarity will be crucial otherwise current stakers might feel like their LEO Power just turned into read-only mode while the real action happens on the DEX side.
some of us, me lol have zero need for the dex.
i just wanna hang out and dish out leo to all the cool people here.
that would be my luck too lol just before im apex everything changes lololol
Haha classic timing, right? Just as you're about to reach Apex, the whole game board flips!
And honestly, you're not alone a lot of us are here for the vibe, the people, the content. Not everyone’s trying to be a DEX wizard.
Would be awesome if the new model still found a way to honor social staking for folks like you who are here building community and keeping the heart of INLEO beating. Apex shouldn’t feel like a punchline it should still mean something!
ha ha ha at the end of the day, i always understand change. i’m ok with it.
just funny that the rug would get pulled under my feet as soon as i hit my leo goal lol perfect
that being said if $LEO goes to a buck im not complaining.
Haha that’s the spirit! Gotta love how the universe has a sense of humor, “Congrats on hitting your goal… now let’s change the rules!”
But hey, if $LEO goes to $1, that rug pull turns into a red carpet real quick! You might just laugh all the way to the top of the leaderboard and the bank.
yup. if LEO wins, i’m all for it.
This is honestly a well-thought-out evolution finally aligning value creation with value distribution.
No more passive inflation draining the ecosystem. Now it’s:
Create activity→ generate revenue → trigger buybacks → earn rewards.
It puts the power in our hands:
Grow INLEO? More subs, more ads = more rewards.
Grow LeoDex? More swaps = more rewards.
And tying it all back to a single LEO token that flows seamlessly between both sides?
That’s the kind of utility and unity most ecosystems dream of. Feels like we’re stepping into the sustainability era of Web3.
Thanks for the clarification, ser. That actually makes a lot of sense.
So INLEO as a social app stays the same in terms of user experience, posts, comments, upvotes, curation, all intact.
What changes is the funding source of rewards, shifting from inflation (printing new LEO) to daily buybacks powered by real revenue like ads, subscriptions, and LeoDex profits. That’s a much more sustainable model.
It’s actually bullish if the rewards are backed by actual value creation rather than dilution, it aligns both the social and DEX sides of the ecosystem long-term.
appreciate the response ser
so from what i’m reading, and understanding is that if you are on the social side only, like i am, the only way to get rewarded is not from content any more from curation / creation rewards
cont…
Yeah, I was listening to it but cos of multi-tasking, I got a bit distracted but now that I've read about it more, it does sound more sustianable. Now I just need to start stacking moar LEO! 🙂👍
Excellent question, ser.
If the new model shifts post rewards to be funded from trading profits, then the traditional model of “stake = upvote = payout” might get redefined.
So yes will upvotes from staked LEO still matter?
Or is social staking now just about governance and visibility, not earnings?
Clarity on whether LEO Power still drives influence (and potential earnings) on the social side would really help folks decide if stacking LEO is still as valuable for creators and curators.
Wow very nice post. This post is vary beautiful. Becouse your good knowledge. I am a new user sir.At last pligg fllow my account. Sir.
