Update: 200M+ $DBT now staked. Most staking models are simple inflation incentives: print more tokens, ask people to lock, call it alignment. We thought about this differently. As Dabba scaled, one thing became clear: PMF is cracked. Demand for the network is real, and growth is happening faster than expected. But that creates a good problem to solve As more hotspots come online, rewards per hotspot naturally reduce. Which means the earliest believers, the people who took the biggest risk first could see their rewards diluted by the very success they helped create. That felt broken. So we built a staking model to solve that. Instead of relying on inflation, we redirect rewards from a growing pool of hotspots back to hotspot owners, helping protect long-term participants as the network expands. The goal is simple: network growth should reward early conviction, not punish it. This felt like a fundamental breakthrough for us. And honestly, this is just one of many ways we think rewards can be designed better for hotspot owners who are aligned with long-term network growth. Great to see more people digging in, understanding the model, and choosing to lock for the long term.
