Thanks @Tobi for this clear communication, including informative graphs. Here are some ad hoc remarks:

> [@Tobi](#):

> Most of the CELO that has been rewarded to the community fund has not been touched. At the same time, the portion of rewards allocated to the Community Fund hasn’t been enough to launch more ambitious programs

The above seems like a contradiction. It would seem to me that we should first focus on why more of the community fund is not being allocated before increasing funds available.

> [@Tobi](#):
>
> CELO locked for voting has been continuously increasing to ~60% (50% target) even with a decreasing Rewards Multiplier (decreasing relative voting reward)

The above seems like healthy behaviour of the system. Seems like leaving things as is is good. I’m not sure where the 50% target came from. Seems healthy to me. I would also support a higher target for % locked.

The above is a very informative graph and clearly shows how priorities are being allocated. Thinking about Ethereum 2.0 as a comparison, I’m thinking that maybe validator rewards could be reduced further relative to epoch rewards over time because validators may be able to get validator extracted value. validatorRewards seem fine to me for now though.

My overall takeaway from this is that the overall system is working well and the main thing to focus on is trying to put the funds in the community fund to work.
