Changing the reward curve to follow a linear curve. Which means that the field will be leveled between bots and people who engage in manual curation, considering that front running will no longer be as lucrative as before. People will not see a huge difference in the rewards that they are getting, but everyone will have a say directly proportional to their stake.

Removing the five-minute curation window. Which will complement the new curation curve. People will no longer be penalized if they vote before five minutes or did not vote early.

Removing the last twelve hours curation penalty. Because it is a system inherited from the chain we forked from that no longer plays any role on Blurt considering that there is no rewards regulation on Blurt.

Fixing the proposal system. That caused the vote weight to be maintained even after the proposal is removed or deleted.

Emergency burning of unclaimed Bittrex airdrop stake. The exchange Bittrex has officially stated that operations will be shut down on Monday 4 December 2023. Since the creation of the Blurt blockchain, the Blurt community hoped that exchanges would honor the initial airdrop to their customers, which unfortunately did not happen due to various factors. While the roadmap clearly states a way to deal with the exchanges that did not honor the airdrop. The prospect of having millions of BLURT in the hands of an unknown person from a company that will no longer exist is not appealing to the Blurt community nor anyone who is investing in Blurt.

Divert all the inflation that was dedicated to fund the DAO before to witnesses instead. This means that witnesses will see a rise in their witness pay. Witnesses should use this chance to improve services and provide more infrastructure to the community.

Ranking low as a witness was always an issue for community members who were willing to start a node to secure the network. This was due to the price of BLURT, in addition to the impossibility to cover the expenses of running a witness node or any additional infrastructure solely based on the witness pay. Fortunately, with the new diversion from the DAO, general witnesses pay will increase; which is going to make it more attractive for new nodes to enter the ecosystem. This BIP seeks to flatten the witness reward curve through minor witness rewards distribution changes. Overall, witnesses across all ranks will see a decent bump in their pay.

Disable a witness automatically after missing x blocks in x day(s).

Remove all witness votes from a witness after being disabled for x day(s).

Deletion of disabled witnesses after being disabled for x day(s).

Automatic removal of delegation after a period of 1 year. The goal is to avoid severe cases of abuse that are existing on other chains in situations where the original user is no longer active or deceased.

Newly powered BLURT will have no effect on consensus decisions until the thirty-day cooldown period has passed. This is for security to prevent large amounts of stake entering the system with the intent of disrupting consensus.

Instant blocks irreversibility. Currently, the last irreversible block can be as much as a minute behind the head block. This BIP allows for block settlement in milliseconds once enough witness delegated stake has signed the block. This results in faster in-app notifications, expedited finalization of commerce transactions and even some performance benefits for Nexus, reducing the need to reconcile block finality status.

Allow users to broadcast three comments per block.

Allow users to broadcast three votes per block.

Burning the assets of exchanges that did not honor the BLURT airdrop.

Burning assets of dormant accounts.

Add beneficiaries to delegations.

Changing the canonical signatures for transaction signing.

Reduce the general inflation of the Blurt blockchain.

Give the top x witnesses the ability to recovery account for users who did not set an account recovery.

Moving x parameters to become witness parameters.
