out with more and more projects I can see a potential future issue with the price of the Dag token becoming too high for more new projects to run a state channel. This is not a problem for investors obviously, but for constellation as an economy. What could be a way around this issue so that future projects can continue to build on the hyper graph? Or will we just reach a limit where the network is basically full, by becoming too expensive to purchase 250k Dag? And I may be wrong with my view here so any answers are appreciated!
Get in early lol
Have read various scenarios on how this might be addressed. Probably not an issue for 8-10 years because-- Generative Economics. That said, no doubt the team is already looking ahead. The scalability issue will get even better with lite nodes (reads more affordable). Beyond this state channels could lease DAG versus actually "holding" it. Of course we could continue to speculate the options. Right now, the focus is on getting the HGTP to a publically accessible vantage point. The founders do a fantastic job looking far down the road and of course the community will stay engaged on this topic.
Thanks for taking the time to reply! Wow, the concept of leasing Dag is interesting! I’m sure that within the next 5 years or so that we will find ways to approach this so it never becomes a big issue, but it’s definitely important to think about for the time being so it doesn’t take us by surprise
State channels (L1s) only need a node if they want to mint their own L0 token which is often not the case. Also, small businesses don’t necessarily need all the throughput a node can offer. They will be able lease nodes’ services/throughput just as they lease other kind of services now (monthly payment, pay as you go, etc.). You can think of it like you don’t need to own the shopping mall to operate a store there. Another completely different answer would be that the minimum requirement for a node can be reduced by the Stardust Collective. It is NOT planned but possible in the distant future. That also means that the often mentioned 9-10K max nodes are only valid withing the current settings. If you own a node now and the requirement drops from 250K to 50K 10 years from now, you would be able to run 5 nodes instead of 1 and lose nothing (not counting the VPS fee). Other similar options are possible, but this is the simplest to think of imho.
Thanks for the info! So why would a company choose not to mint a L0 token and instead keep a L1 token? If they’re both running on dag is there any difference?
That would really depend on the projects tokenomics. There could be projects that do not need their own token because they are using DAG instead.
They don't need a token at all.
