## Meeting Notes
### Introduction and Previous Meeting Review

- Scott Hewitson welcomed attendees and those who may watch the video later
- Last month's meeting was brief (about 15 minutes) and covered PIP updates and the inflation proposal

### Current Proposals

#### Inflation Update Proposal

- Cheng Wang provided a detailed update:
- Originally proposed to reduce inflation and increase community tax
- Initial proposal suggested increasing community pool tax from 20% to 40% (or 10% to 40%, exact figures not recalled)
- After community feedback, the proposal was modified to only adjust inflation
- Reducing inflation would also result in a reduction of APR for staking
- The new inflation rate is set to take effect the day after the meeting
- Reasons for the adjustment:
- Community pool is well-funded despite recent market volatility
- Current emissions are ahead of the original schedule
- The community pool tax increase was removed from the proposal due to community pushback
- Original goal was to have community pool tax at roughly 50%
- Community suggested separating inflation parameter adjustment from community pool adjustments
- Spreadsheet calculations now take into account staking ratios for more accurate projections

#### Developer Onboarding Funding Proposal

- Referred to as "Developer onboarding funding proposal number two"
- Robert is running this proposal, which is a continuation of a successful version one
- The proposal is currently on-chain and open for voting
- Scott encouraged those who haven't voted to do so

### Provider Incentive Program (PIP) Update

- Cheng Wang provided a comprehensive update on PIP:
- PIP One Phase One is nearing completion
- PIP One launched in February of the current year
- Major initiatives funded by the community pool in 2024:
- PIP One Phase One (approximately 3 million tokens, or $3-4 million at the time)
- Coinbase Learn and Earn program (about $7 million)
- Final funds from PIP One are being committed, including for new H100 GPUs
- Detailed reporting and invoicing are being prepared for transparency
- Spreadsheet updated to take into account staking ratios for accurate calculations
- Challenges with implementing the liquidity pool phase due to the need for verified resources
- Concerns about potential spoofing of resources (e.g., fake H100 GPUs) by scammers
- PIP Two discussions to begin in the coming 3-6 weeks
- PIP One had three phases: committed phase, liquidity pool phase, and R&D phase
- PIP Two will likely focus on another committed batch
- Learnings from PIP One will be applied to PIP Two

### Zealy Campaign Update

- Robert Del Rey discussed the ongoing Zealy campaign:
- Aims to increase participation in SIGs and working groups
- Extra XP points offered for attending calls like sig-economics
- XP points can be exchanged for AKT
- Secret word can be submitted even if heard from the recording

### Open Discussion

- No additional topics were raised by participants
- Scott mentioned always thinking about ways to better progress the network

### Closing Remarks

- Cheng Wang encouraged community participation in upcoming PIP Two discussions
- Cheng emphasized the importance of sharing thoughts and questions in Discord, Steering committee, and SIG economics
- Scott Hewitson thanked everyone for joining and closed the meeting

## Action Items
- Cheng and Scott to prepare and share a detailed PIP One spending report.
- Community members to watch for and participate in upcoming PIP Two discussions on GitHub, Discord, and in future SIG meetings
- Group to monitor the implementation of the new inflation rate set to take effect the day after the meeting
