Thank you for your thoughtful comment — I completely understand your point. You’re right that even seemingly simple implementations can take time, and I respect that the dev team has to prioritize carefully. My intention here isn’t to push something technically heavy, but rather to open a discussion on the direction we want SPS economics to take, so that if and when priorities allow, the concept is already refined and supported by the community.
As for the economic impact — I agree that on day one it won’t move mountains. The tapering isn’t meant to “fix” the market overnight, but to start shifting incentives gradually and raise awareness about the benefits of owning and staking SPS. Right now, renting creates almost one-way sell pressure. Over months, this system could encourage players to hold and stake more of what they earn, which cumulatively reduces constant selling and increases long-term demand.
Personally, I would be in favor of a more direct intervention, such as raising the rental floor or even temporarily disabling SPS rentals altogether. However, I’m fully aware that this would likely cause a strong shock to card prices and the rental market, and that’s precisely what I want to avoid. The tapering approach offers a progressive, non-disruptive path that lets players and markets adjust naturally, while still moving us toward a healthier SPS economy.
