The real beneficiaries of POL burning right now are:
1 Stakers
2 The treasury
3 And only then, marginally, everyone else
Why?
Burning destroys roughly ~3% of tokens per year at the current pace - these are tokens taken off the open market.
At the same time, 1% inflation goes to the treasury, and another 1% inflation funds staking rewards.
So only ~1% is actually net burned in a way that benefits the entire supply.
If you don’t stake, you’re missing out on roughly 3/4 of the network’s total revenue, not even counting airdrops.
When inflation stops, the option I’d personally find most optimal would be to stop burning entirely, or at least reduce it and distribute the revenue to stakers instead.
There may also be a hybrid approach, where the Polygon Chain continues to burn POL tokens, while the Agglayer generates revenue for stakers - potentially not in POL tokens at all.
