CAKE Tokenomics Proposal 3.0: True Ownership, Simplified Governance and Sustainable Growth

I strongly advise against that proposal.

I agree with many other comments and the flaws they pointed out in the way this proposal is conducted and the major hurting it will do to the loyal community. I’d like to throw in a few additional aspects:

Rushed Timing

As we eagerly wait for the Kitchen to launch v4, I am truly surprised about a Tokenomics Proposal and the timing of it. It dilutes roadmap focus (v4!), disrupts the well established model of today, and creates additional uncertainty at a time of market turbulence. If the Kitchen thinks that a better Tokenomics model is needed, this should be pushed out by at least 6 months to 1 year from now. The meantime could be utilized to refine the new model, hold a proper discussion, and include any new learnings from V4. Given all the negative comments against the proposed 3.0 Tokenomics, I would suggest to add this untertaking to “Q4 2025” in the 2025 roadmap.

Decentralization

I am somewhat shocked about the yesterday’s 25 M token lock and the possible implications, if true. If bad intent and manipulation hold true during any proposal vote, this would undermine the “D” in “DEX” so much that it would be beyond my belief, ever.

Partnerships
I keep it simple: as CZ said it, projects and ecosystems grow TOGETHER.

That said, I hope for this discussion to make clear that the negative outcome with regard to trust, community, partnership etc. will outweigh the positive expectations of any new model. No rush needed, let’s address this fair and in the future.
