**2018**

- [3266953-027](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3266953-027) [mechanism/argued] -- Anchor tokens are highly inflationary because new ones are minted in proportion to the SEM denominated transaction fees collected in each block, so a member must keep participating simply to maintain their relative power.
  > New Anchor tokens are created in proportion to the number of SEM denominated transaction fees collected by the system in each block. Therefore, Anchor tokens are highly inflationary. To maintain his relative power, Bob must continue to participate.

**2019**

- [3441904-044](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3441904-044) [design/argued] -- DAO member reputation should be designed as inflationary rather than as a permanent stock, so that non use such as non staking or non voting leads to value depreciation.

  > People more willingly participate with decentralized apps, if their information remains under their personal control. ZK proofs allow people to do exactly that, sharing complex information for the purposes of social improvement, while maintaining control of their personal information.
