# Dust Halving Event Every 6 months
## Summary
I propose to half the amount of dust all staked sweepers produce every 6 months to increase dust value, reduce inflation and attract more people to invest in our project during the bear market to benefit from the higher dust rates.
## Methodology
I joined sweepers because I liked the idea, the team behind the project and I strongly believe that this is a long-term project, which in the forthcoming bull market of 2024-25 will be a huge success having 1000s of users, a floor price above 0.2 eth at opensea and auctions for common sweepers will be ending above 0.15 eth each or even more.
In the current deep bear market, that recently got deeper with the FTX situation, many projects are struggling. I propose to half the production of dust all sweepers produce every 6 months since the beginning of the project. This would leave us with approximately 3 months of the 10 dust/day for common sweepers and would make people accumulate more dust rather than spending everything in the first available auction or competition and at the same time attract more attention to our project. For example, if I knew that after 3 months my sweepers are going to produce less and less dust, I'll think twice before placing a huge bid on any auction and may even stop bidding and just accumulate as much dust as possible.
Halving every 6 months is not too late nor too soon, fits great with the current deep bear market and should aim to attract investors/collectors with long-term horizon, and not just flippers.
## Conclusion
In my opinion this is the only way to counteract inflation of our DUST token, and at the same time increase its value and possibly even reach the 2,400 DUST/eth rate after some months. I also think that more people will be minting more sweepers every day to stake them to benefit from the higher dust rates.sweepers-club
