Treasury clarification separates vested supply from reward dilution
Soby described the proposed Foundation allocation as vested reserve tokens, estimating around 8 million XAI from a conversation with the Foundation. He argued for staking rather than selling and said its earnings would support ecosystem growth. The number was an attributed estimate, not a published balance reconciliation. Existing token supply and reward dilution are different questions: moving vested tokens into staking need not mint new tokens, but can still change the distribution among participants.

Christian's follow-up made that tradeoff explicit. No tokens would be bought or sold; additional Foundation stake could help selected pools reach higher tiers, while existing stakers in those pools would experience some dilution. He characterized the impact as limited and said all generated yield would be allocated to community growth. The stated benefit therefore depended on pool selection, tier thresholds and subsequent spending. It was not a demonstration that every staker's realized return would rise.
