For those not following along at home, this proposal is a response to [this proposal](https://gov.bancor.network/t/bip-increase-vortex-burner-to-20-active-immediately/2166) to increase the Burner to 20%. My argument against the 20% has always been that the original numbers (5% burn, increasing over 18 months) was arbitrary, and for that reason we need to proceed with caution since every change we make is purely experimental. It may be that 20% is the right number… eventually. Going from 5% to 20% at once is a shock to swap APYs and may have unintended consequences. The Burner % is going to have an effect on vBNT/BNT peg, open space in pools, swap APYs, inflation/deflation, and it interacts with LM rewards and LP habits. This amount of complexity means we should be cautious. 10% burn creates all new data sets that we can compare and make better decisions going forward, and 10% burn is in line with what the [original variable burn scheme](https://gov.bancor.network/t/bip9-proposing-the-bancor-vortex/354) would have been accomplishing these past few months. If, after a few months, LPs and swap APYs hold up well under the new burn, we can think about increasing it again. I will be voting for this proposal. --- _[View the full topic](https://gov.bancor.network/t/bip-increase-vortex-burner-to-10/2202)._
