Providing some additional context to @Kiba 's comments.
Firstly, @kiba literally got paid like $1,000 by the Index Cooperative for getting DPI listed on CREAM. Now about 20% of DPI TVL is in CREAM. This is grossly unfair to Kiba given the huge contribution he has made to the success of the Index Cooperative.
(Not a threat, just an explanation!) In Crypto, we always need think to be able to think from an adversarial mindset. The Methodologist Program actually incentives @Kiba to use his influence on CREAM listing committe to delist DPI and list DATA to game the INDEX rewards payout. Yikes!
Set Labs earns ~77.8k INDEX per month from 28% vesting contract and DFP earns ~47k INDEX per month between their 2% vesting contract and the Methodologist Program rewards whereas all contributors combined earned only 7.5k INDEX in June.
To put this in clear terms, combined these two entities are earning >16x voting INDEX of all Index Coop contributors combined on a monthly basis because the Community Treasury cannot vote on governance decisions. This means the Community Treasury is effectively controlled by these two entities.
This has serious implications for both governance (how do we reach quorum if Set Labs doesn’t vote?) and centralization concerns.
The Index Cooperative is becoming more centralized over time; DFP + Set Labs will control >50% of all voting INDEX by end of year on the current trajectory.
This is the opposite of progressive decentralization.
