Hi everyone,
Apologies for the delayed response.
I agree that over the past month, particularly with the recent market downturn, tier threshold amounts have risen rapidly—by ~15% for tier 2 thresholds in the last 30 days. However, it’s important to note that the new feature, where tier thresholds are calculated based on total issuance percentage, hasn’t added any additional volatility. Even under the old static model based on TVL amounts, we observed a similar deviation in the last month. The moving average calculation on price, which acts as a ‘lagging’ indicator, was designed to help attenuate drastic fluctuations, but it may not fully prevent significant changes during high volatility.
For now, you can use this spreadsheet as a quick tool to anticipate upcoming threshold amounts with the new v5.43.0 release (date is not defined yet, but probably in early September for Astar). It’s a practical, temporary solution that should provide some visibility and help you prepare accordingly.
Also, I’m investigating a modulation capping feature. This would limit how much threshold amounts can change in a single period, which could help stabilize the system further and prevent the kind of rapid increases we’ve seen recently. Feel free to suggest other ideas.
