Do we have to decide on only one use of the OSMO bit of Protorev? Coz in my head, it makes sense to have some flexibilty.

For example, during a bull run, it would make sense to burn the OSMO for the narratives which could create excitement, and via feedback loops, potentially onboard tons of people to Osmosis.

Post bull run it seems to me that this option:

would also be awesome. Burning no longer makes sense at this stage since demand will be decreasing anyways and would undo the effects of burning. Using OSMO to reward traders then becomes a user retention strategy at a time when retention really matters.

Also really love this idea:
