Implement an 8% Minimum SSN Commission Fee

Some feedback on the content of the proposal - I think it’s important to add context that a base commission fee was set at 4% in December 2022, when the price of ZIL was fairly similar to the current price.

I appreciate hardware costs may have increased since then - it would be good to understand the impact of this in terms of %.

I gather you may have good insight into the staking commission thresholds of other blockchains from your platform - it would be good to incorporate such insights into the proposal as evidence to help inform voters.

We are also fairly close to the implementation of PoS with Zilliqa 2.0 - my understanding is the updated protocol has lower hardware requirements, potentially lowering costs for node operators, and staking rewards will be dynamically adjusted depending on the utilisation of the block space:

It may be worth waiting to see what the staking dynamics of zilliqa 2.0 are like before raising the minimum SSN commission fee again, but would also be interested to hear input from other node operators.
