pSTAKE is currently the only liquid staking protocol in Cosmos to allow its users to instantly redeem $stkATOM for $ATOM on its unstaking UI for a nominal 0.5% fee (set at launch). Only the protocol governance can change the Instant Redemption (IR) fee parameter. This proposal suggests increasing the IR fee from 0.5% to 1%.
IR's innovative mechanism comes with a few drawbacks currently:
The current 0.5% IR fee almost always provides the best place to swap out of $stkATOM instantly in a user-friendly manner compared to swapping on an external DEX dependent on swap fee, peg health, & slippage.
Increasing the fee to 1% can have the following advantages:
The revenue generated from IR goes to the pSTAKE on Cosmos revenue address for sustainability & further adoption of pSTAKE.
