Since the announcement of the migration of LSK to an ERC-20 token and the new token economics, there have been a lot of discussions and a wide range of opinions on whether all newly minted tokens are needed for successfully growing the Lisk ecosystem.

Due to the community feedback, the Lisk team proposed an optional 100M LSK DAO fund that will be voted on by the Lisk DAO, see the announcement blog post of the new token economics.

The vote on the 100M LSK was initially planned for 2-4 months after the token migration, but was postponed to July 1st, 2025, in order to give time for LSK holders to become accustomed to the Lisk DAO and governance around it as well as have first experiences on how much value it can provide.
