The Mission 70 Blueprint: Everything You Need to Know. $ICP

The Goal🎯

— Target: Reduce ICP inflation by 70% by the end of 2026.

— The Math: Reducing annual minting from 9.72% (Jan 2026) to ~5.42% via supply cuts, with demand burn covering the rest to reach the ~2.9% target.

Staking & NNS Changes

🗳️

— Max Lockup: Reduced from 8 Years → 2 Years.

— Min Lockup: Reduced from 6 Months → 2 Weeks (lowering the barrier to entry).

— Legacy Bonus: Existing "8-Year Gang" neurons get a special 10% reward boost until 2030.

— New Curve: Replaced linear rewards with a Convex (Quadratic) Curve, incentivizing commitment more sharply.

— Reward Cap: A hard cap on the total Voting Reward Pool is introduced to bound minting permanently.

— Migration: Existing 8-year neurons will be mapped to the new 2-year max but keep their high yield.

Node Provider Updates

⚙️

— Gen-1 Cuts: Rewards for legacy (Gen-1) nodes are slashed by 40%.

— Efficiency: Moving toward smaller, secure subnets using SEV-capable (Gen-2) hardware.

— Payouts: Monthly node rewards will be distributed continuously rather than on a single day to reduce market impact.

Inflation Control (Maturity Modulation)

📉

— New Mechanism: Replaced the "Recent Trend" modulation with "Level-Based" modulation.

— How it works: It compares current price to the 365-day moving average. If price is low (undervalued), minting is discouraged; if high, it's allowed.

— Speed Limit: A daily limit on how fast modulation changes to protect stakers from volatility.

Demand Acceleration

🔥

— Cloud Engines: Launching enterprise-grade "Private Subnets" where companies pay to burn ICP.
