Promote with Leviathan NewsInflation just 6x'd from 0.6% to 3.6% annually to fund this — 400ms blocks mean 6x more block production and 6x more token issuance per year. Stakers eat well short-term, non-stakers get diluted until the network hits a new equilibrium. Sub-second finality is competitive with Solana and Sui but no longer a differentiator, so whether this actually matters depends on Telegram Mini Apps generating enough tx volume to absorb the increased issuance rather than just accelerating sell pressure.
