HSP-XXX: Establish a 24-Month Issuance Ramp to a 1.6% Target Rate Of NEAR Token Emissions

Following my previous comments, the numbers do a good job justifying the cut, but not the destination.

What is this meant to support: NEAR Intents, agentic tokenomics, AI, or token sustainability? And beyond Intents buybacks, what drives demand and utility for the token?

The discussion post pointed to a fixed supply, while the formal proposal frames 1.6% as the final change. Those are two different endgames.

So I’m leaning no for now. Not against lower issuance, I’d just like to know where we’re going before choosing the road.
