  1. What would happen if a dapp runs out of RAM?
    Parts or all of the dApp would not run. New smart contracts could not deploy.
  2. What was the change between Dawn 3.0 and Dawn 4.0 in terms of the RAM market?
    It introduced a market-based model for EOS tokens
  3. What are the benefits or having a market based model for RAM staking?
    There is an incentive to unstake tokens that are no longer needed. Results in fairer pricing and more effective use of resources
  4. What are the drawbacks of having a market based model for RAM staking?
    Possibility of speculation and manipulation of the market.

  1. What would happen if a dapp runs out of RAM?
    Dapp will cease to run

  2. What was the change between Dawn 3.0 and Dawn 4.0 in terms of the RAM market?
    fixed vs variable pricing model

  3. What are the benefits or having a market based model for RAM staking?
    discourages holding, balanced pricing for long term

  4. What are the drawbacks of having a market based model for RAM staking?
    Holding RAM may push up prices, while being used and wasted for actual dapp useage

  1. If a dApp runs out of RAM, some operations cannot work (i.e. smart contracts).

  2. With Dawn 3.0, token holders could only sell RAM for the price they paid for it. Dawn 4.0 switched to a market-based allocation.

  3. The benefits of having a market-based model are that hoarding is disincentivized. Holders will have a reason to unstake and thereby free up resources.

  4. The major drawback of a market-based model for RAM staking is price volatility. With greater demand for data (as users increase), RAM will become more expensive.

  1. What would happen if a dapp runs out of RAM?
    Some operations are unable to carry out and smart contracts cannot be deployed

  2. What was the change between Dawn 3.0 and Dawn 4.0 in terms of the RAM market?
    Under the Dawn 3.0 system contract, token holders can only sell RAM for the price they paid. With Dawn 4.0 EOS switched to a market-based allocation approach

  3. What are the benefits or having a market based model for RAM staking?
    For the older version where the exchange rate is pegged, the upside is to disincentivize hoarding and speculation, as no extra EOS could be gained by merely buying and selling RAM: you always get what you have paid.

  4. What are the drawbacks of having a market based model for RAM staking?
    The lack of market mechanism causes some allocation efficiency problems. If a developer does not succeed with the development and does not have te incentive to sell the unused tokens and un-stake the staked ones,These RAM resources will therefore be wasted as a result of inefficient allocation. With the market-driven model, the developer can receive capital gain from un-staking his RAM, and is therefore willing to free the resources for somebody else.

1.What would happen if a dapp runs out of RAM?

It would stop.

2.What was the change between Dawn 3.0 and Dawn 4.0 in terms of the RAM market?

EOS staked for RAM can float to market.

3.What are the benefits or having a market based model for RAM staking? The staked RAM gets released and become available.

4.What are the drawbacks of having a market based model for RAM staking?

Speculation and manipulation can be done.

  1. When RAM is insufficient for a dApp, some operations are unable to carry out and smart contracts cannot be deployed.

  2. Under the Dawn 3.0 system contract, token holders can only sell RAM for the price they paid.
    EOS switched to a market-based allocation approach using the Bancor algorithm from Dawn 4.0.

  3. With the market-driven model, a dApp developer can receive capital gain from un-staking his RAM, and therefore willing to free the resources.

  4. -As more dApp developers join, and more data needed to be stored for a long time, more RAM used is extracted out of the market, making RAM more and more expensive.
    -The speculators’ irrational behavior on RAM will push RAM high, making it expensive for dApp developers to buy the resources they need, and thus deteriorating the ecosystem. There is large amount of RAM, due to the speculation or other reasons, are unused, causing a waste of RAM resources.

  1. When RAM is insufficient for a dApp, some operations are unable to carry out and smart contracts cannot be deployed.
  2. Under the Dawn 3.0 system contract, token holders can only sell RAM for the price they paid, under the Dawn 4.0, token holders can sell RAM for the market-driven price.
  3. Under Dawn 3.0. in case of the rising price of EOS, developers are not motivated to unstake their RAM allocation even if they are not using it for themselves - just because they fear they’ll need to pay a much higher price in the future for the same allocation of RAM resource. This causes waste. Under Dawn 4.0. market-driven prices incentivize to sell unused resources for the fair market price - thus ensuring more economic allocation of RAM among parties.
  4. the Main drawback is the possibility to speculate on buying and selling RAM without actually using this scarce resource.

  1. What would happen if a dapp runs out of RAM?
    Without enough resource the dapp would not function.

  2. What was the change between Dawn 3.0 and Dawn 4.0 in terms of the RAM market?
    The token holders could sell their tokens at market price, not just at the price they paid.

  3. What are the benefits or having a market based model for RAM staking?
    Since tokens represent resources, now there is an incentive to sell the token at market price if these tokens are not used. That way, resources tend to be wasted less.

  4. What are the drawbacks of having a market based model for RAM staking?
    There could be speculation around the resources, making further on chain development more difficult.

What would happen if a dapp runs out of RAM?
It simply won’t deploy
What was the change between Dawn 3.0 and Dawn 4.0 in terms of the RAM market?
RAM price got fixed, then RAM gets priced by the market demand.

What are the benefits or having a market based model for RAM staking?
Unused dApps and unused resources are given an incentive to free up their unused RAM.
What are the drawbacks of having a market based model for RAM staking?
RAM would become speculative and developers would have to pay to have RAM, develop code and test new smart contacts.

What was the change between Dawn 3.0 and Dawn 4.0 in terms of the RAM market?
Under the Dawn 3.0 system contract, token holders can only sell RAM for the price they paid.
The Dawn 4.0 system is market driven, where the token holder can receive capital gain from un-staking his RAM, incentivising them to free up the system.

What are the benefits or having a market based model for RAM staking?
A market-driven model incentivises unstaking which frees up the system.

What are the drawbacks of having a market based model for RAM staking?
Possible hoarding and speculation.

3.EOS token holders can stake EOS to the system (and pay a 0.5% fee for this action), bearing the risk of potential price volatility, and in exchange get access to RAM resources of the system proportional to their staking tokens.

1.smart contracts will not be deployed
2. a market-based allocation with dawn 4.0.
3. more incentives for developpers to unstake when the price of the token rises.
4. as more developers are joining the blockchain of eos to create projects and dapps RAM is becoming expensive.

  • dawn 4.0 is a model where the RAM price will be formed by the market.
  1. What are the benefits or having a market based model for RAM staking?
  • RAM will not be wasted.
  1. What are the drawbacks of having a market based model for RAM staking?
  • more usage of RAM results in a shortage and therefore a higher price.

  1. You can no longer execute or run your smart contract

  2. Under dawn 3 the exchange rate is pegged, you sell ram at the same price originally staked. Under dawn 4 there is a fluctuating market meaning you can make a capital gain if the price rises.

  3. Encourages you to relinquish RAM rather than holding onto it even if your dapp failed.

  4. If the price drops you may hold ram until the price increases again. Increases speculation to gain Eos.

  3. It help to reduce noise on the system

  4. can increase any speculation and people leave the stacked coin in to make more cash, therefore a lot of RAM will be not use and reduce the property of the system or blockchain

1/ dapp will stop running, then contract won’t be achieved.

2/ D3: you get back what you paid. As with D4, what you get back is priced by the market.

3/ When RAM price is up, you are incentivized to unstake, then making EOS ecosystem more fragile.

4/ see 3/
