Looking at this proposal, there are 3 key changes to note. > Fee Model: A 20% fee on subsidized AVS rewards plus 100% of @EigenCloud revenue (EigenDA, EigenCompute, EigenAI) flows to $EIGEN buybacks. Only fee-paying AVSs receive protocol incentives ( to promote the business model) > Emission Controls: The new Incentives Committee reduces rewards for idle stake and redirects $EIGEN to fee-generating AVSs to boost active participation. > Operational Flexibility: So the committee can rapidly adjust allocations without lengthy governance, allowing faster response to market conditions while the Protocol Committee maintains emission cap control. So there are more opportunities to earn from protocol revenue through buybacks, creating value instead. If you're staking, the first action you should take is to actively select operators running fee-paying AVSs.
