I have an idea that is probably not technically feasible. Nevertheless, I will post it and maybe someone will have some thoughts in this direction.
A year ago I was convinced that it was impossible to take a snapshot for shielded addresses. Now that Namada has written a huge thread about it, I don’t think so. However, I still don’t understand how the mechanism for claiming rights to NAM tokens will be implemented, but technically the snapshot probably is half of the solution to this problem.
The other half is a network resilience mechanism that is very likely to be implemented. What if you think about how these coins from Sprout could get into this mass of future issuance after the old pool is no longer supported?
And what if the people who have a fair right to these assets and who for whatever reason have not been able to use them in a timely manner could somehow claim their right in the future by having functionality that utilizes the Sprout snapshot?
