Changes to governance fees and reward
Aquarius governance 2.0 introduces a fee restructuring proposal with increases to creation (200,000 AQUA), editing (200,000 AQUA), and publication (1,300,000 AQUA) fees, alongside a boost to proposal rewards (3,000,000 AQUA), aimed at reducing spam and ensuring higher-quality governance contributions.
Aquarius has published a governance proposal to restructure fees under governance 2.0. The proposal calls for increases to three fees: creation fee rising to 200,000 AQUA, editing fee to 200,000 AQUA, and publication fee to 1,300,000 AQUA. Alongside these increases, the reward for successful proposals would rise to 3,000,000 AQUA.
The motivation is to prevent spam proposals and encourage higher-quality governance contributions. As the natural market flow has made proposal costs cheaper since governance's launch, the community believes fee increases will help maintain proposal quality. The reward increase aims to keep proposal creators engaged despite higher submission costs. If approved, these parameters will go live immediately.
