Request for Discussion: Data Economy Index (DATA)

@verto0912 @jdcook In regards to your comments on Intrinsic Productivity (IP):

@Kiba has lots of ideas about Intrinsic Productivity (IP) for DATA, but we did not want to overload initial considerations for the index given that IP is still in development for DPI after much consideration and many spirited debates we have both been a part of. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

In the original draft, we had a section for Future Considerations, here is what @Kiba wrote for IP:

Intrinsic Productivity (IP): IP will make DATA completely unforkable if done correctly. There are two types of IP possible - protocol level staking and DeFi farming. We will start with DeFi strategies similar to DPI. Once staking becomes available on a protocol and we start staking on it we can provide superior returns to token holders because 1) higher yields with native staking 2) we can give all returns to DATA holders maxing out APY which no other operator can do. This leads to flywheel effect where higher yield gets more TVL → more staking power → more jobs (superlinear unlike L1/DeFi staking) → higher APY → higher TVL. If we reach capacity on native staking we can switch assets to DeFi farming.
