Reduce voting boost for AQUA paired markets to 25%
Aquarius governance proposal to reduce the voting boost for AQUA-paired markets from 50% to 25%, aiming to rebalance rewards across market pairs and improve incentive allocation for non-AQUA liquidity.
Aquarius proposes reducing the voting boost for AQUA-paired markets from 50% to 25%. After the previous attempt to remove the boost entirely failed, this compromise strikes a balance within the community. The current 50% boost inflates voting power for AQUA pairs, effectively suppressing voting percentages for non-AQUA pairs. For example, XLM/USDC holds 4.43% of votes but sees adjusted votes drop to 3.98% due to the boost. Lowering to 25% would rebalance the system, helping non-AQUA market pairs return to the reward zone while keeping some differential treatment for AQUA-paired markets.
