Hello Core Team, thank you for the comprehensive and well-thought-out Pi Launchpad PRC. The permanent liquidity lock, the engagement-gated swaps, and the "product-first" approach are brilliant steps toward eliminating rug-pulls and building a sustainable Web3 ecosystem.
Representing the voices of the ICP2E Blitar Raya community, active Node operators, and merchants integrating real-world physical goods into the ecosystem (such as local heritage crafts and outdoor furniture), I would like to propose a few constructive refinements to the current draft:
- Tiered Baseline PiPower (Ref: 3-participation.md)
Currently, the Baseline PiPower strictly rewards those with an extreme ≥90% lock-up for 3 years. It would be highly beneficial to introduce a "Tiered" system. For example, offering a proportionally smaller Baseline PiPower for Pioneers who locked 50% for 3 years, or 90% for 1 year. This ensures that mid-level and newly active Pioneers still feel structurally valued and are incentivized to stake, rather than feeling left out of the baseline rewards. - Node Contributor Multiplier
Network security is the backbone of the Pi ecosystem. While the current model beautifully rewards locked tokens and in-app engagement, adding a small PiPower or Engagement multiplier for accounts running active Pi Nodes with consistent daily bonuses would directly reward the infrastructural backbone of the network during token launches. - Verified Categories for Real-World/Physical Utilities
Many Web3 dApps are purely digital. To accelerate mass adoption and showcase true utility, Launchpad could feature a special verified badge or filter for projects that bridge the digital token with real-world physical economies (e.g., empowering local artisans, agricultural distribution, or physical merchant networks). Highlighting these projects will attract Pioneers who want their Pi to have immediate real-world purchasing power. - Transparent Engagement Score UI (Ref: 3.2 Engagement Tracking & Design 2)
To ensure fairness in the "engagement-ranked order" for token swap discounts (as outlined in Allocation Design 2), projects launching on the platform should be required to display a transparent "Engagement Meter" within their UI. Users need to clearly see which actions (e.g., daily logins, physical transactions, referrals) contribute to their score to prevent ambiguity and build trust. - Logarithmic Scaling for Whale Protection (Ref: 4-allocation)
While maximum commitment caps exist, calculating PiPower strictly proportional to staked Pi might still heavily favor "whales." Implementing a logarithmic curve where the PiPower growth slows down after a certain high threshold of staked Pi would ensure a wider, more decentralized distribution of new tokens to everyday Pioneers.
Thank you for opening this discussion to the community. We are incredibly excited to build the Open Network together!
