As users know, the more transactions there are on a blockchain the more difficult it is to conduct timing analysis. Over the past year, we have measured the need for even more active movement in order to better support the KMD privacy mechanism. To implement this, the annual time limit on the growing of 5% will be changed to monthly cap of 5%/12. What this means is that you will need to actively use all your funds every month to maximize your rewards for contributing to the activity of the KMD ecosystem. The good news is that compounding will get you rewards of 5.1% over a year. For users that do it just 4 times, it will end up a bit less than 2%. Your contribution to the privacy ecosystem will be more closely linked to your reward.

As this is a consensus rules change, it will need to activate at a future height and all existing utxos will still operate under the old rules, so this will only affect new utxo created after the activation height of 1 million.
