Thanks for providing this outline @Hammad1412 this does reflect the full extent of the information I could find. I am aware contributor rewards are a significant rising cost, and imo we need to balance the incentive to work (add value) with the need to minimise cost &/or operate more cost-effectively. I am hopeful that the [Index 2.0 Future of Finance](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/future-of-finance-next-steps-poll/2841) process will help us to improve transparency around contributor rewards (INDEX & $) in relation to time & value.
