Compensation & Community Ownership - Next Steps

Kudos to the all involved in putting this together - looks like it’ll be a brilliant level up for the coop :clap:

In the spirit of designing collaborative games, one mechanic I’d like to see in action tying a WG’s flexible contributor rewards to a KPI. As in, I’d like to see the whole pie available to growth contributors be tied to the # of impressions we generate (or N$F, # of unique holders etc if we pivot to a different target KPI).

The vision here is to build on our impression mining schematic to reduce friction of coordination by uniting people around shared, positive-sum, economic incentives and empowering people at the edges of our community, with the @Magra’s of the world, who also have their own personal brand, top of mind, to act as owners while minimizing the overhead / context burden of helping the coop drive towards its goals.

Pretty sure this is top of mind for @jdcook already, and the staking mechanism goes a long way towards this end, but I’ll go ahead & call it out since I don’t see it explicitly stated in the post: reducing the sell pressure on $INDEX from contributors selling their rewards for living expenses in in the best interest of all $INDEX holders. I think it makes sense to see most base compensation delivered in USDC or ETH whilst separately allowing contributors to have a stake in the upside of the protocol thru an options/bonus/vesting/staking component.
