Staking rewards reduced but redirected to fund applications

Token issuance code can redirect a portion of new emissions to an application treasury.

A DAO structure provides the necessary governance framework to handle ongoing token flow from staking rewards to applications in a way that's transparent, adaptable, and aligned with decentralization principles.

Merit-based allocation to apps from the treasury

Stakers could simply vote on where and how much allocate on the applications, and the vote would have a weight based on their stake.

That could work

This sounds a bit like what Berachain is trying to do with Proof-of-Liquidity: create more cohesion between apps and validators. See What is Proof-of-Liquidity?

This would be a much bigger shift. Not necessarily wrong but Berachain did plan an ecosystem around this key differentiator and trying to retrofit that onto Avalanche might be tough.
