Dear ICONists,
You may have noticed that we’ve been including the ICON network’s most recent i_rep score every week in our newsletter. What’s i_rep score and why is it so important? Yes, you’re not alone. There’s been a lot of confusion and misunderstanding by both voters and P-Reps alike. Therefore, we just released a blog post Path to Sustainable Economics: P-Rep Commission, which is a MUST READ for every ICONist because it directly affects your ICX rewards.
Most recent i_rep can be found in
ICON Tracker’s P-Rep List under the Governance dropdown menu. The current overall i_rep score is directly controlled by each P-Rep. Lower i_rep score means lower network commission taken by the P-Rep, which means more of the rewards are shared with the voters. However, the current design is unclear how much of the commission is taken by the P-Reps and how much rewards flow to the voters. We plan to change this and make the system more transparent.
i_rep is the second network issue our team is tackling after IISS 3.0. However, unlike IISS 3.0 which took months for just the proposal to pass, we plan to quickly resolve i_rep in a matter of weeks. In the meantime, we want to continue encouraging our voters and P-Reps to help continually lower i_rep.
Thank you,
Min Kim, ICON Foundation Council Member
