This proposal stops the community pool from accumulating a share of non-OSMO taker fees and adds that share to staking rewards. The share of taker fees burned remains unchanged.

## Background

Taker fees collected in assets other than OSMO are split three ways: bought back as OSMO and distributed to stakers, bought back as OSMO and burned, or accumulated in the community pool. [Proposal 955](https://daodao.zone/dao/osmosis/proposals/955) set the community pool share at 25%, with the remainder split into the current staking and burn shares.

The community pool share was intended to build a treasury of reserve assets. That reserve now exists: after setting aside the BTC committed to restoring Alloyed BTC’s backing, the DAO holds about $1.8 million in non-OSMO reserve assets, with around $1.1 million deployed as liquidity. Most of it is USDC (about $0.9 million) and BTC (about $0.45 million). Continuing to add to it grows a balance that governance has to manage, while the same revenue could be paid to the stakers who secure the chain.

## Proposed Change

| Non-OSMO taker fees | Staking rewards | Community pool | Burn |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Current | 22.5% | 25% | 52.5% |
| Proposed | **47.5%** | **0%** | 52.5% |

The split for taker fees collected in OSMO (30% to stakers, 70% burned) is unchanged.

## Impact

- **Stakers** receive the former community pool share as additional OSMO staking rewards: about 8,100 OSMO per day at the last 30 days’ volumes and today’s OSMO price, or roughly 1.7 percentage points of staking APR.
- **Burn** is unchanged.
- **The community pool** no longer accumulates taker fees. The community pool denom whitelist remains in place but no longer receives anything from taker fees.
- The community pool continues to receive revenue from other sources, such as ProtoRev, the Top of Block Auction and smaller fees like pool creation and incentive fees.

**Target Onchain Date:** 9th October 2026
