There's real merit in prioritizing incentives for traders who drive substantial on-chain volume over developers who contribute minimal value yet capture disproportionate fees. The current fee structure often rewards protocol developers regardless of their actual impact, while traders bearing the execution risk get overlooked. A more balanced incentive model would allocate rewards based on tangible market activity and volume contribution rather than simply being a dev collecting fees. This shift could better align ecosystem sustainability with those actively moving capital and generating real trading liquidity.

This logic has some merit, but the issue of developers drawing salaries without work really needs to be addressed.

NGL dev, the idea of making money while lying down really needs to change; true liquidity is created by traders through effort.

This logic has no flaws, but to put it nicely... when it comes time to make changes, developers will still stick together and resist.

NGL traders definitely deserve a bigger slice of the cake; devs are eating too well.

From a risk control perspective, this logic has a flaw... The dev fee is cut, who maintains the system health factors? High trading volume does not mean low risk exposure. Once the lending rate soars, the dominoes will fall instantly.
