## Quote — verbatim

> If you want to incentivize a certain chipset — A100 for example — the way it works in Akash is every time you reach 50% utilization for a certain chipset, the incentives to double the capacity are released... so that way you have a significantly better and more disciplined distribution curve instead of just a broad 'incentivize everything' and get thousands of GPUs that no one really uses.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Lesson four (go narrow, not broad); an implicit critique of over-incentivized DePIN supply gluts. He promises a report on on-chain incentive lessons "in a year's time."
