The last community pool tax update was completed with Proposals [Hidden link] and [Hidden link] at the end of December 2023.
Since 2023, we saw on-chain fees grow by 144% QoQ and 565% YoY, GPU usage grow by 42% QoQ, GPU capacity by 37% QoW, and new leases (apps) grow by 274%, making Akash the highest-earning DePIN, with 3x more than Render, 2x more than Helium and Filecoin.
This growth was fueled, in large part by Provider Incentive Pilots 1 & 2. With Pilot 2 over 90% committed as of February 10, 2025, additional funds from the Community Pool will soon be needed to accelerate Akash Network's growth.
We are proposing an increase to the Community Pool tax from 40% to 50% to ensure it is properly funded for provider/tenant incentives and other community initiatives.
The use of Community Pool proceeds will always be requested via governance proposal and determined by detailed discussions within SIG-Economics, Steering Committee, and associated Working Group meetings.
