Chromia staking cuts risk killing staker incentives

I expected stakers to receive around 15% APR and that any reward-sharing for dApps would be reasonable. In reality the staking reward is only about 3% and proposals to take half of that make staking unattractive to me.

It’s not the stakers’ job to subsidize dApps — that’s the team’s funding and product responsibility. Shifting the burden to validators undermines network security and long-term incentives.

Given this design choice, I don’t see a viable future for Chromia unless governance reverses course and restores meaningful staking rewards or finds alternate funding for dApps.
