I wanted to see how much damage overstaking is doing so I finally sat down and figured out how to write a Dune query. Since this is my first query, I welcome someone checking my figures/calculations, but it looks pretty valid to me. If you don't want to click through, here's the results as I write: Lost Allowance Amount: 392,174 Total Overstake Amount: 33,989,745 Total Locked Amount: 390,023,685 Below Allow. Cap Above Allow. Cap % of Stakes 81 19 # of Stakers 6,736 47 Staked Amt. 315,298,133 74,725,552 So about 9% of allowances are lost that could have been distributed to smaller stakers because of overstaking. Some people may think that's no big deal, but it is to me. Small stakers need all the help they can get and their allowances will continue to go down as more people lock up their DEGEN. They are stuck for 3 months like this... https://dune.com/queries/3912382

That's a possibility, but I don't think it was consciously designed to hurt everyone. I think that the devs' goal was to get as many people to stake as possible because that keeps the price of DEGEN up/stable, and then to give the benefit of tipping as the carrot to make that happen. I think they didn't really think it through and thought setting up an allowance cap would be good enough to flatten the curve and didn't realize that with excessive overstaking it would not only be bad for small stakers but also overstakers who could use that money to make themselves more money in other ventures.
