Polygon PIP-85 proposal: Adjusting the PIP-65 priority fee allocation formula, 50% of priority fees will be distributed to stakers

Foresight News reports that the Polygon community has released the PIP-85 proposal. The proposal includes introducing an equal weighting factor in validator allocations by adjusting the PIP-65 priority fee distribution formula, and setting a dividend ratio for stakers. 50% will be extracted from the validator pool and distributed to stakers via a periodic Merkle claim program deployed on Ethereum. The remaining validator pool allocation will be adjusted as follows: 75% will be distributed based on weighted performance with equal weighting, and 25% according to the existing staking power formula.

Sandeep Nailwal, CEO of the Polygon Foundation, commented, “This proposal is a prudent approach designed to fairly reward all network participants: stakers can directly receive fee income, while the validator group can also remain healthy and incentivized.”
