Saturn Follow-up Vote No. 2 (RPIP-72)

RPIP-72 ties up enough loose ends to unblock all Saturn 1 implementation and auditing.

Outcome If Positive

Note this requires a 75% supermajority!

• Ratify a supermajority is met as needed for an inflation change
• Codify a specific design for stake and dissolve transactions
• Add a pdao_share variable for steering a portion of ETH revenue to the pDAO treasury; set it to 0% to start
• Codify a design for capital distributions from validator exits in megapools

Outcome If Negative

No change. Follow-on discussion to understand sticking points and likely a new vote.

Rationale

Generally: The Saturn RPIPs expected some follow-up tweaks that would need clarifying and/or ratifying. This vote and its preceding discussion provide a platform for community members to raise and discuss any as-yet-unnoticed problems.

For specific items, in the same order as the “Outcome If Positive” bullets:

• The initial Saturn vote missed asking for a required 75% supermajority as it should have. We’re being extra-explicit here, even though the initial vote hit 99.4%.
• This was on the list of things that needed further definition in RPIP-49 prior to Saturn 1 – the design prioritized permissonlessness and simplicity
• Per forum discussions, there was clear support for (at least) having the future ability to steer a portion of ETH revenue to the pDAO treasury
• The team realized this component of the specification needed work to implement something effective
