Summarizing Echelon Bulletin 2202 V3

This week, Echelon shared an updated Bulletin with the community. Echelon continues to move forward, building out the ecosystem in preparation for the wave of gamers expected later this year.

The key changes are summarized here:

• Changing the Gameplay sink from 72 to 73 percent.
• Changing the linear taper of the Cached Prime Set Sink from 40 to 60 months.
• Changing the Future Prime Sink Schedule allocation for Gameplay pool to 84 percent.
• Changing the Future Prime Sink Schedule allocation for the Cached Prime Set Sink to 4 percent.

What do all these changes mean? In short, the team is future-proofing the ecosystem, and aligning the incentive structure to reward active participants.

Below is a detailed breakdown and summary of each change. All changes are highlighted in Orange.

Revised Prime Sink Details

My key takeaway here is that Echelon believes that long term value is built by having a strong gameplay sink. Bolstering the gameplay sink is a step in the right direction in my opinion, because it intentionally adds value to the pool that will have the most throughput. Additionally, it shows that the EPs acknowledge that future value will come from the game players. By adding more value to the gameplay pool, the EPs are betting big on the success of the games in the ecosystem.

The key month to keep an eye on is July 2023 when the initial pools are depleted. That’s when most of these changes go into effect.
