Token Curated Registries (TCR) are decentralized recommendation systems thatcan be implemented using Blockchain smart contracts. They allow participants tovote for or against adding items to a list through a process that involvesstaking tokens intrinsic to the registry, with winners receiving the stakedtokens for each vote. A TCR aims to provide incentives to create a well-curatedlist. In this work, we consider a challenge for these systems - incentivizingtoken-holders to actually engage and participate in the voting process. Wepropose a novel token-inflation mechanism for enhancing engagement, wherebyonly voting participants see their token supply increased by a pre-definedmultiple after each round of voting. To evaluate this proposal, we propose asimple 4-class model of voters that captures all possible combinations of twokey dimensions: whether they are engaged (likely to vote at all for a givenitem) or disengaged, and whether they are informed (likely to vote in a waythat increases the quality of the list) or uninformed, and a simple metric toevaluate the quality of the list as a function of the vote outcomes. We conductsimulations using this model of voters and show that implementingtoken-inflation results in greater wealth accumulation for engaged voters. Inparticular, when the number of informed voters is sufficiently high, oursimulations show that voters that are both informed and engaged see thegreatest benefits from participating in the registry when our proposedtoken-inflation mechanism is employed. We further validate this finding using asimplified mathematical analysis.
