Cryptocurrency market maker and investor DWF Labs has publicly advocated for an adjustment to the NEAR Protocol’s economic model, pushing for a reduction in the network’s inflation rate to 2.5%. Andrei Grachev, a partner at the firm, stated this change is crucial for enhancing the token’s fundamental value and supporting continued ecosystem growth.
DWF Labs disclosed it currently holds 5 million liquid NEAR tokens and maintains an active stake of a further 6 million tokens. The firm’s proposal aims to improve NEAR’s market performance and attractiveness to potential investors through stricter token supply controls.
Signaling strong conviction in the plan, DWF Labs outlined a conditional commitment: if the NEAR tokenomics policy is adjusted to the proposed 2.5% inflation rate, the firm pledges to purchase an additional 10 million NEAR tokens from the secondary market.
This move underscores the ongoing engagement between significant token holders and blockchain protocol developers in refining token economic structures for long-term stability and competitiveness.
