Summary

First and foremost, this HIP acknowledges the community's vote in favor of HIP-39 Redenomination. Since then, the community has passed HIP 51, which solves some of the central issues motivating HIP 39 (Incentive Unit Bias) through the introduction of subtokens. Since HIP39 was passed, additional complexities and complications have also come to light that have changed the difficulty and economic motivation to implement HIP39 on or before August 2022. We believe that it is no longer necessary to implement HIP 39 (Redenomination) at this time and propose to cancel HIP 39 if the community agrees.

As there was no timeline in HIP 39, the testing and proposed implementation took longer than expected while other economic HIPs were passed. To address the tension around this lag in implementation, HIP 52 and HIP 53 include a mandate that code must be included in order for the HIP to be voted on.
