I thought the idea of SSN commissions were to cover the cost of providing the staking infrastructure and reward those SSN providers who contribute to the ecosystem (through delegation) but I don’t think any SSN provider should be entirely funding their projects in this way - setting a 4% base rate reduces competitiveness for stakers in order to maintain unsustainable business models. **I would actually argue that both staking rewards and SSN commissions should be reduced!** As per the whitepaper, Zilliqa was supposed to have transitioned towards reducing block rewards by now (which there is a strong argument for - see this post: [Zilliqa Incentive Layer](https://gov.zilliqa.com/t/zilliqa-incentive-layer/1017) ), which would also reduce the staking rewards and therefore SSN commissions. So I think projects should be focussing on more sustainable means to bootstrap their development rather than SSN revenues. I would also suggest that out of miners, SSN providers and stakers, stakers are the least likely of the 3 to sell their portion of the block reward… --- _[View the full topic](https://gov.zilliqa.com/t/implement-minimum-ssn-commission-fee/1320)._
