Recording of the June 29, 2026 ACP community call covering ACP-285, a proposal to lower the minimum consumption rate used in the Primary Network staking reward formula.
The discussion focused on how ACP-285 fits into the broader Helicon upgrade alongside ACP-236, which introduces continuous staking, and ACP-273, which reduces the minimum staking duration.
Topics covered include:
– The proposed reduction to the minimum consumption rate, while leaving the maximum consumption rate unchanged
– Why the 365-day full minting period staking reward rate remains unchanged
– How a wider effective-consumption-rate spread could increase the relative reward for longer staking commitments
– The potential impact on net AVAX emissions, which depends on aggregate staking-duration behavior rather than a deterministic emissions schedule
– How ACP-285 interacts with ACP-236 and ACP-273 as Helicon reshapes staking duration and renewal mechanics
The call also reviewed the design rationale, reward-curve mechanics, expected effects on emissions and validator incentives, and open questions from the community.
