The moving change rate mechanism ensures that if 16 the % bonded is either over or under the goal %-bonded, the inflation rate will 17 adjust to further incentivize or disincentivize being bonded, respectively. Setting the goal 18 %-bonded at less than 100% encourages the network to maintain some non-staked tokens 19 which should help provide some liquidity. 20 21 It can be broken down in the following way: 22 23 - If the inflation rate is below the goal %-bonded the inflation rate will 24 increase until a maximum value is reached 25 - If the goal % bonded (67% in Cosmos-Hub) is maintained, then the inflation 26 rate will stay constant 27 - If the inflation rate is above the goal %-bonded the inflation rate will 28 decrease until a minimum value is reached
