The Zilliqa infrastructure team has proposed an adjustment to staking rewards to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Zilliqa network. This change will begin moving the network towards the long-term goal of zero inflation and is part of several consensus reward changes that align with the roadmap for the deployment of Zilliqa 2.0. Reducing the inflation of ZIL fosters a healthier token economy for the Zilliqa network and improves the long-term outlook of its value within the ecosystem.

Attention gzil holders! Proposal to implement gZil delegation allowing gZil holders to delegate voting rights to other wallets is live now. By introducing this system, the aim is to encourage more gZIL holders to actively participate in voting. The proposal involves developing a new smart contract, the gZIL delegation contract, which will record the delegation of voting rights accurately. Modifying the Snapshot protocol will ensure that delegated gZIL can be used for voting without exceeding the total amount owned. This initiative is expected to simplify governance voting processes and increase engagement in Zilliqa's governance for the platform's development. if you are a gZIL holder, be sure to cast your vote on this important proposal now https://governance.zilliqa.com/#/gzil/proposal/QmPUtLhTC2yL88hsjndc8of18nco4L5WdWMU1ETAV2hdvf
