[FIP Review]: FIP-0065 ignore built-in market balances from circulating supply #75

Description

Request Summary

Please review FIP-0065.

The built-in storage market actor's minimum deal collateral functions as a mandatory data assurance mechanism. The market's collateral and deal payment balances are subtracted from total token supply when calculating the network circulating supply. This proposal is to ignore the built-in market's locked balance in the network circulating supply definition. This is logical support for subsequent protocol changes that would allow storage providers to commit data into sectors without a built-in market deal or the associated collateral. With such change, the built-in market would not be a privileged actor and does not warrant special treatment in the circulating supply calculations.

Audience / Consumer for this Review

Core Developers

Timeframe

Needed in 1 month

Rationale

Very minor impacts on circulating supply. More significant impacts on implied protocol direction.

This is a logical prerequisite to direct data onboarding (Direct FIL+).

I don't anticipate any significant findings from review, this is mainly a courtesy to ensure you have time to process it before governance progresses.

Desired Deliverables

Comment on the FIP discussion indicating any significant impacts not already discussed.
