To Our Loyal Farming Community,
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the farmers who have actively participated in all of our Space Race programs, contributing to the growth of what we aim to make a truly community-owned network. Your efforts are the cornerstone of this vision, and we deeply appreciate your commitment. At the same time, we acknowledge the many farmers who have been diligently plotting and preparing to contribute, but have hesitated to pledge storage in the absence of active rewards.
This network is built for the community, and we are open to constructive and actionable feedback to ensure we address the challenges you face while staying true to our shared goals. While we knew 600 PB was an ambitious rewards threshold, we remain confident in the community’s potential to achieve it. However, we also recognize the financial challenges this poses for many farmers. Therefore, we are implementing some adjustments to make participation more accessible while maintaining the security that is central to our mission.
The Subspace Foundation council has voted to adjust the rewards activation threshold. Rewards will be enabled at some point shortly after total space pledged reaches the 200 to 300 PB range. A randomized activation ensures that the network remains secure against potential manipulation while also incentivizing broader participation. This change provides a clearer, more attainable path for farmers while maintaining the security and decentralization critical to our network. The sooner storage is pledged, the faster rewards can begin, creating value for the entire farming community.
We look forward to sharing more details about an enhanced process for providing network feedback. In the coming weeks, we’ll outline a structured approach to ensure that all feedback is actionable and beneficial for everyone involved. We appreciate your input and look forward to building a resilient network together.
