I was later thinking that the price of the Eos token would be a good enough proxy for the health of the network. Dan often says markets will manage the incentives. But that would assume that the markets for the token are rational and not manipulated and other factors could influence price movements as well, like dapps entering or leaving the platform. So I am still tending towards the idea of calculating the network health since that is what voter participation is all about. I also wouldn't mind if all this was done in the protocol itself. So the split between block producers and community contracts was voted on by stake holders . But I need to think about the consequences of that a whole lot more!
