The Cosmos community is considering a proposal to overhaul the tokenomics model for its native token ATOM, shifting towards a revenue or fee-based model aimed at long-term sustainability.

Still in its research phase, the proposal, put forward by Cosmos Labs Ecosystem Growth Lead Robo McGobo, calls for moving away from the current cyclical inflation model and instead anchoring ATOM’s value on actual network usage fees.

This includes reducing token issuance over three years, gradually increasing staking rewards to favor long-term stakers, and unifying ATOM’s roles as a reserve, gas, and settlement asset across the ecosystem.

“This is extremely exciting, and the most important upcoming proposal likely of the next decade for ATOM,” said Maghnus Mareneck, co-founder and co-CEO of Cosmos Labs.
