# Canton approves reward change for batched asset settlements

Canton's Tokenomics committee has [approved removing a $1 per-asset cap](https://lists.sync.global/g/tokenomics-announce/message/386) from its interim asset-reward formula, following a recommendation from the Featured App Accountability Committee.

The cap could leave applications with less reward weight when they grouped settlements together, even though batching uses network traffic more efficiently.

The cap also stopped asset-marker weight growing for two-asset exchanges once transaction costs reached $2. Higher costs beyond that point received no additional weight.

The approved calculation removes the fixed ceiling. Other limits, based on transaction cost and the number of assets involved, remain. The change is intended to let reward weight grow with settlement costs, including when an application batches its trades.

The decision covers the interim formula. The wider Featured App 2.0b framework is still under review.
