Dear Tezos bakers and all! The Quebec protocol proposal is almost ready. Before formally announcing it, we’d like your feedback on one optimization to Adaptive Issuance: an adaptive maximum issuance bound. More details in this Agora post:

forum.tezosagora.org

This new bound ties maximum issuance to the staked ratio, preventing future scenarios where a stagnation of global staked tez near the target ratio could result in undesirably high issuance rates. We welcome your feedback on this feature and its implementation!

Introducing Protocol-Rewards by Tez Capital Tez Capital (https://tez.capital) is proud to unveil Protocol-Rewards, a tool designed to enhance the reward distribution system on the Tezos blockchain. This new baker utility addresses the complexities of Adaptive Issuance, where the reward amounts can vary based on the new delegation mechanics, that are no longer based on random snapshots. 📕Learn more about how Protocol-Rewards works to closely align delegation reward payments with the new Adaptive Issuance protocol rules
