Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 40 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 40 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 40 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 40 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.5 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.5 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 75.00%, which means that 75.00% of the Hatch funds (945917.68 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 25.00% (315305.89 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 12.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 12.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 1.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 1.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 2 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 2 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 3 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 3 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 3 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 3 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 3.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 3.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 9.0%, which means that no more than 9.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

UPDATE: We noticed our initial price was non-conforming to the way - this could not be! We changed it to 1.47 (147 = 7 * 21) and rose the commons tribute to 63% (79). This leaves the price after the initial buy at 2.08 wxDai (1316!). The rest stays the same...

ORIGINAL:

The universe is vast and unpredictable. Our Commons is taking the bold first steps into a new world brimming with opportunity, but also riddled with risk.

Luckily, we have been given a powerful compass to guide us through uncertainty.

Good and bad. Ying and yang. Luck and misfortune. The wisdom encoded within the numbers 7 and 13 captures the duality of destiny in a way the puny 8 never could. We have followed their lead while designing our commons, and they have made us witness to the pinnacle of paramater design.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

This carefully chosen paramters set the best possible stage for the first steps of our DAO:
213 weeks where tokens are frozen to protect against bad luck, then 117 weeks thaw to guarantee smooth sailing. Also, since 2+11 is 13 cosmic balance is preserved throughout.
(For the non-believers, this would "just" amount to a 6 month freeze and a 1.5 year thaw)

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 52 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 52 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 104 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 104 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.2 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.2 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 95.00%, which means that 95.00% of the Hatch funds (1198162.39 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 5.00% (63061.18 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 0.75% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 0.75% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.75% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.75% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 0.5 day(s), this means that 0.5 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 20 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 20 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 2.25%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 2.25% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 9.0%, which means that no more than 9.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 52 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 52 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 104 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 104 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.2 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.2 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 95.00%, which means that 95.00% of the Hatch funds (1198162.39 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 5.00% (63061.18 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 1.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 1.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 2.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 2.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 1 day(s), this means that 1 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 20 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 20 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 3.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 3.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 10.0%, which means that no more than 10.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

In large part, our Hatch was based on the premise that Hatchers are commitment the long term, mission driven goals over short term individual gains. So I’m advocating for a longish thaw. One that will give the TEC a floor above the Hatch price for the entire first year. Kudos to The Fledge (#113) for the “hatch, fledge” analogy. Hatch, fledge, fly!

Did you know that from hatching to leaving the nest a bird can increase its weight by as much as 10 times?

With the freeze/thaw at 39/65, Hatchers tokens begin to thaw at 9 months and by the end of the first year, 20% of Hatchers tokens will be unfrozen.

We are not greedy. We envision a world where ethical and resilient economic systems benefit societies. We know it will take us time to make that happen and that having a secure floor for one full yer will provide needed security to take our next bold steps. This gives us a year to build our reputation, strategies and agility in whatever market conditions we face.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The psychological impact of 1M in the Commons pool is no small trifle. That’s 1M allocated directly to funding proposals that serve our mission. With a must-have of 1M in the Commons pool, I looked to find the right balance between the Commons Tribute (sourced from existing Hatchers) and Entry/Exit Tribute (to be sourced from future TEC token holders).

Unless we are setting the entry/exit to near-zero we should expect that future TEC token holders are here for the impact to be made and a belief in what we are doing. Any non-zero tribute will be a deterrent to the average speculator.

I see the wisdom of #74 with having the entry/exit adjust over a scheduled amount of time and will propose the same. Entry: 16 - 12 - 8 - 4 and Exit: 5 - 6 - 7 - 8, with and adjustment happening every 6 weeks.

In the words of #74 “With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 22% and 2% to 2% and 12% in 5 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. This is important for our long term growth so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community.”

Here I nod again to #113 and appreciate very much their doubling down on the impact investment angle. In their words: “​​The 80% initial tribute makes us unabashedly an impact investment. Impact investors care about impact and don't want to pay to fund reserves to lower the volatility. Another effect of the low reserve is high slippage, which makes it expensive and thus unattractive for non-aligned, purely speculative whales to suddenly buy up large shares in ways that might harm the mission and the community. Impact investors will care less about slippage, since that money goes to the TEC, which they are backing for impact. Oh, did I mention it's a million dollar fund. Nice.

Yeah, 30% entry tribute is a big cut. But remember, we're an impact investment. We pitch that the 30% is an investment that they make in public goods and we take it off the top while they're still excited. There's no exit tribute. We get the investment up front, not when they're trying to get out and may have reasons for leaving anyway.”

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

The defaults are well thought through and I’ll stick with them. For color, will add the phrasing of the #109 to chew on: “ Revolutions need to be agile as well. For this we should aim for high consensus, short-er duration.

Tao Voting might not interest everyone, but that's why we have delegates. It should be reasonable to expect high turnout for votes since voting power should either be used or delegated, not sitting idle, this is not how revolutions are made!"

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

There is a conversation about the TE Academy proposal that shapes my thinking here. Knowing their longer financial runway facilitates funding roles to execute their vision. So, for example, requesting a grant for 6 months out versus month-by-month would be the difference between only being able to assure someone’s role month-to-month versus offering a longer term assurance of compensation to a new hire. This is big for our bootstrapping projects!

Low spending limits act as a sort of check-and-balance on projects as they will need to prove continuous delivery by requesting small amounts periodically. There is a real advantage to that but I feel that makes it administratively difficult for larger, more ambitious projects like the TE Academy to depend on funding from us. And for the voters, it will exhaust our attention to have a constant stream of smaller proposals.

High spending limits here might pose a risk but as #124 points out, we have Celeste. We should be able to rely on Celeste to arbitrate anyone acting in bad faith. In the end, I believe it will better serve our goal of advancing Token Engineering than a low spending limit.

Finally, that any proposal will require > 24 hours to pass is a courtesy to the entire community.

1 Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny with Better CV and shorter vesting

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is an exaggerated version of the Entry into Orogeny proposal (shout out to Nate!) and is somewhat inspired by Zep's DAO Casino and Tam's push for a high Common Pool.

The real things to note about this proposal is the >1 million dollar Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, and the low Reserve Ratio.

image

This proposal has a high entry tribute to attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 26% and 0% to 2% and 12% in 6 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. This is important for our long term growth so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community.

If we are smart, we should make an agreement to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a 40 Mil Market Cap so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

This was tooo damn long of vestin... so i made it shorter!

Considering the decent profit off the bat (40% / 111%) and the low reserve ratio which 2.75 years for the tokens to unlock seems fine. 9 months to get the economy going, 2 years after that to slowly vest... if someone had 10,000 tokens from the Hatch they would get about ~14 tokens a day.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The Commons Tribute and Entry Tribute are set so that there is about ~1 mil in the Common Pool after the initial buy.

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (26%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if this proposal is chosen we should plan to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 6 months.

This proposal has a low Reserve Ratio so that we can have high profitability for it to make sense to speculate despite the high entry tribute.

If we lower it 4% a month... we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to speculate on the token. I think this is very doable.

The Reserve Ratio is low but it's not a DAO Casino and with a long lockup we have a long time to grow beyond the Hatch.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

The Tao Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (80%), and a moderate quorum (10%) of participation.... this is almost the same as our HatchDAO but higher quorum because we have delegation and lower support required because we are now an open community, not just the Trusted Seed.

The Vote Duration (7 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (4 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (12 hours) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes for those that really care about exiting after a vote is determined given the quiet ending extension.

Parameter Value
Support Required 80%
Minimum Quorum 10%

Time to Vote on Proposals 7 days 9 days 11 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 3 days 5 days 7 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 7.5 days 9.5 days 11.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 15% ensuring that we can fund 50k-80k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool. The rest of the settings were inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (.6%) and high Conviction Growth (100 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

I think these parameters could be explored more.

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 70 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 0.9000000000000001%

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 20 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 20 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.4 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.4 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 75.00%, which means that 75.00% of the Hatch funds (945917.68 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 25.00% (315305.89 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 26.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 26.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 80%, which means 80% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 70 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 70 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 0.9000000000000001%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 0.9000000000000001% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 15.0%, which means that no more than 15.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

  • Token Thaw: 4 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 4 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 2.5 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 2.5 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 25.00%, which means that 25.00% of the Hatch funds (315305.89 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 75.00% (945917.68 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 15.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 15.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 20.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 20.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 75%, which means 75% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 45%, meaning that 45% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 15 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 15 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 5 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 5 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 5 day(s), this means that 5 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 5 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 5 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 10 day(s), meaning that there is an 10 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 45 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 45 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 30 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 2.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 2.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 8.0%, which means that no more than 8.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

UPDATE: We noticed our initial price was non-conforming to the way - this could not be! We changed it to 1.47 (147 = 7 * 21) and rose the commons tribute to 63% (79). This leaves the price after the initial buy at 2.08 wxDai (1316!). The rest stays the same...

ORIGINAL:

The universe is vast and unpredictable. Our Commons is taking the bold first steps into a new world brimming with opportunity, but also riddled with risk.

Luckily, we have been given a powerful compass to guide us through uncertainty.

Good and bad. Ying and yang. Luck and misfortune. The wisdom encoded within the numbers 7 and 13 captures the duality of destiny in a way the puny 8 never could. We have followed their lead while designing our commons, and they have made us witness to the pinnacle of paramater design.

213 weeks where tokens are frozen to protect against bad luck, then 117 weeks thaw to guarantee smooth sailing. Also, since 2+11 is 13 cosmic balance is preserved throughout.

  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 3 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 3 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 3 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 3 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 4.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 4.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 20.0%, which means that no more than 20.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 37 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 37 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 37 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 37 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.37 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.37 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 37.00%, which means that 37.00% of the Hatch funds (466652.72 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 63.00% (794570.85 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 3.70% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 3.70% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 3.70% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 3.70% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 73%, which means 73% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 7%, meaning that 7% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 7 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 7 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 40 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 40 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 40 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 40 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 0.63 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 0.63 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 78.00%, which means that 78.00% of the Hatch funds (983754.38 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 22.00% (277469.19 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 8.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 8.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 2.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 2.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 3 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 3 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 3.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 3.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 9.0%, which means that no more than 9.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Goldilocks' Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is a version of the Entry into Orogeny proposal (shout out to Nate!) and is somewhat inspired by Zep's DAO Casino and Tam's push for a high Common Pool, another iteration of the 1 mil Entry into Orogony

This Proposal expects a strong community that can coordinate to pass both Tao Voting and Conviction Voting Proposals. The real things to note about this proposal is the >1 million dollar Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, and the low Reserve Ratio.

image

This proposal has a high entry tribute to attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 26% and 0% to 2% and 12% in 6 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. This is important for our long term growth so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community.

If we are smart, we should make an agreement to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a 40 Mil Market Cap so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve.

The CV Params are set so that it takes a week to pass any serious proposal with 15-20% of token holders sitting with their tokens behind the proposal. This will make the Token holders have to coordinate (without having to talk) to pass proposals.... I can imagine that we will want to post the Passing and Leading proposals that have a lot of voting power behind them every week to aid voters in coordinating around advancing token engineering.

Strategy:

Considering the decent profit off the bat (35% / 100%) and the low reserve ratio which 2.75 years for the tokens to unlock seems fine. 9 months to get the economy going, 2 years after that to slowly vest... if someone had 10,000 tokens from the Hatch they would get about ~14 tokens a day.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The Commons Tribute and Entry Tribute are set so that there is about ~1 mil in the Common Pool after the initial buy.

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (26%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if this proposal is chosen we should plan to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 6 months.

This proposal has a low Reserve Ratio so that we can have high profitability for it to make sense to speculate despite the high entry tribute.

If we lower it 4% a month... we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to speculate on the token. I think this is very doable.

The Reserve Ratio is low but it's not a DAO Casino and with a long lockup we have a long time to grow beyond the Hatch.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

The Tao Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (80%), and a moderate quorum (10%) of participation.... this is almost the same as our HatchDAO but higher quorum because we have delegation and lower support required because we are now an open community, not just the Trusted Seed.

The Vote Duration (7 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (4 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (12 hours) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes for those that really care about exiting after a vote is determined given the quiet ending extension.

Parameter Value
Support Required 80%
Minimum Quorum 10%
Vote Duration 7 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 4 day(s)

Time to Review a Delegates Vote 3 days 5 days 7 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 7.5 days 9.5 days 11.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 12% ensuring that we can fund 40k-70k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool (it would take 26.7% of the tokens 2 weeks to pass a 48k proposal). These are of course inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (1%) and high Conviction Growth (60 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

Most proposals asking for 1-4% of the Common Pool will take 8-15% of tokens holding conviction for 1-2 weeks to pass a proposal.

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 60 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 1.0%

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 40 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 40 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 104 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 104 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.35 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.35 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 74.13%, which means that 74.13% of the Hatch funds (934991.70 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 25.87% (326231.87 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 26.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 26.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 80%, which means 80% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 60 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 60 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 1.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 1.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 12.0%, which means that no more than 12.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

The Bolshevik's Gambit fork with Lower Min. Quorum

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is not a proposal for the weak willed.

We are charting out into new territories of ideology, coalescing into forms of governance and economics. We have rallied a strong community around our cause with our Trusted Seed. We should be confident in our cultural build to guide us to where we need to go without imposing technical red tape on our primary revolutionaries.

We have to recognize that the TEC at launch will not be same force as it will be in 6 months. We can expect to expand and mature with time and our post-launch settings will adjust to reflect our evolution. I have outlined envisioned changes in this proposal.

A low opening price reduces the sell pressure once we go post token freeze, likely adhering hatcher's to our mission rather than salivating like wild beasts over the token price. However newcomers will want to take part and the buy pressure with such a low opening price will be considerable. with an ample entry tribute we can hope to secure a further amount of funding, while slightly dissuading sells.

Tao Voting and Conviction Voting is reasonably agile, which is what any radical movement needs. We can hope to adjust our settings as our Commons cools off post-revolution.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

Revolutions happen quickly. We have supreme confidence in our plan to create an amazing Commons and generate value. 3 months Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens. That being said, a year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unikely to sell their Tokens for a while since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

Taking this into consideration as well we have to "Trust" our trusted seed. These Hatchers are not likely to sell en masse anyway unless we really mess up.

Token Freeze 12 Weeks

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

We're coming to realize we'll need a good chunk of money to kick-start our vision and to adequately reward contributors and fund WGs and projects. This leaves us well over 800k to ignite the revolution.

A low opening price is fine because Hatcher's are true believers in the cause, in the collective well being of the Commons and spreading its ideology. Even with a low initial balance the reserve ratio is at a healthy amount, this means that as our supply grows we can count of having lower amounts of price slippage

Strong tributes in the beginning will test the resolve of our new revolutionistas and penalize the feeble-willed who abandon our cause early. By having higher tributes we can hope to capture additional funding from the hype train generated by the Commons Upgrade.

Once our revolution is successful and our provisional government is established we can put our Tao Voting parameters to the test by lowering the tributes to healthier economic levels (3, 3). I envision this happening within 3-6 months.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Revolutions need to be agile as well. For this we should aim for high consensus, short-er duration.

Tao Voting might not interest everyone, but that's why we have delegates. It should be reasonable to expect high turnout for votes since voting power should either be used or delegated, not sitting idle, this is not how revolutions are made!

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within one week. If there's any contention we add ample time for more participation.

A greater execution delay however allows our economy's participants to react to any potential changes to its configuration before being implemented.

Parameter Value
Support Required 88%
Minimum Quorum 8%
Vote Duration 5 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 3 day(s)
Quiet Ending Period 2 day(s)

Time to Vote on Proposals 5 days 8 days 11 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 2 days 5 days 8 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 7 days 10 days 13 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With these settings we can use the considerable muscle contained in our Common Pool to kick-start projects and disburse funding without too much hassle. Once we have set projects well on their way and our new Commons' economy has stabilized we can reduce the Spending Limit to a conservative 12-13%

Parameter Value

Minimum Percent of Voting Tokens Needed to Pass Funding Requests

This shows how the minimum percent of tokens needed to pass proposals after 2 weeks varies with the percent of the Common Pool funds being requested.

Strategy:

Opening Price is at the lower end ($1.50) allowing for initial token buyers to get in at a perceived bargain even after the initial buy-in. The Token Freeze (18 weeks) provides a 4+ month buffer to allow enough economic activity to occur on the ABC while minimizing the amount of time for value-aligned members to begin putting their tokens to use. The Token Thaw period (1.5 year) allows for a responsible amount of time to effectively distribute potential sell pressure placed on the ABC.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The Commons Tribute (42%) will allow for a substantial amount of funds to be available for distribution granting the TEC Token more opportunity for external utility.

The Entry Tribute (0%) and Exit Tribute (40%) is an extreme design that prevents speculation on the curve early on and allows for value-aligned individuals to enter into the TEC economy. Most proposals come with the assumption that the Entry & Exit Tributes will be altered after the Commons Upgrade. This extreme design guarantees that alteration, while preventing speculation by creating easy access for those who want to buy into the economy, and a harsh penalty for leaving.

The TAO Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (78%), and a moderate quorum (8%) of participation. The Vote Duration (10 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (7 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (3 days) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes.

Minimum Quorum 8%
Vote Duration 10 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 7 day(s)
Quiet Ending Period 3 day(s)

# of Quiet Ending Extensions No Extensions With 1 Extension With 2 Extensions
Time to Vote on Proposals 10 days 12 days 14 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 3 days 5 days 7 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 13 days 15 days 17 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit (11%) on the lower side ensuring that we fund proposals incrementally if possible, and not risk a large amount of funds on any single project. The Minimum Conviction (0.8%) reduces the minimum effective supply which reflects the spending limit strategy -- allowing for an abundance of funding proposals all with the chance of passing with smaller amounts of tokens staked. The Conviction Growth (42 days) ensures that proposals aren't passed too quickly and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 42 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 0.8%
Spending Limit 11.0%

Minimum Percent of Voting Tokens Needed to Pass Funding Requests

This shows how the minimum percent of tokens needed to pass proposals after 2 weeks varies with the percent of the Common Pool funds being requested.

Example Funding Request Data

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 18 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 18 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 78 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 78 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 32.00%, which means that 32.00% of the Hatch funds (403591.54 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 68.00% (857632.03 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 1.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 1.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 40.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 40.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 78%, which means 78% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 10 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 10 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 7 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 7 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 3 day(s), meaning that there is an 3 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 42 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 42 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 20 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 0.8%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 0.8% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 11.0%, which means that no more than 11.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is a fork of TEC Casino & The Bolshevik's Gambit.

This merge reaches a middle ground for two proposals that may seem extreme in some of their parameters (specially the casino!) I particularly have a good feeling about the sum of risk factors around Conviction Voting, allowing the community to coordinate around proposals that need to go through fast but blocking malicious proposals with the help of Celeste.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 13 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 13 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 78 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 78 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.05 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.05 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 82.00%, which means that 82.00% of the Hatch funds (1034203.33 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 18.00% (227020.24 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 8.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 8.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 2.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 2.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 6.5 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 6.5 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 3.5 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 3.5 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 1 day(s), this means that 1 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2.5 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2.5 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 14 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 14 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 13.0 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 3.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 3.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 16.0%, which means that no more than 16.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

PG13 Topless Goldilocks ("almost no vest")

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is a fork of "Without vesting, people will sell TEC, Challenge accepted" with some tweaks to make it a little more conservative, a little less risky, a lot more "just right" (sorry, I can't not "Goldilocks")

From the original:
The overall strategy, it's empowering TEC holders and trust in the Hatchers, balanced numbers for common pool.

My adds: a little tiny vest, a little higher opening price, a little extra tribute, a little extra quiet ending, a little less min conviction

Strategy:

I think a tiiiny bit of vesting, in the early days is a good idea as it encourages speculators to buy/sell and generated funds for the common pool. However, keeping with the original proposal's intetion, I made this very minimal (less than 1 month).

$1 Gambit for $1,000,000 Goldilocks Orogeny

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is merging of The Bolshevik's Gambit fork with Lower Min. Quorum #72's Token Thaw and Tao Voting (with a few tweaks) and Goldilocks' Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny #71 CV and ABC with a few tweaks

So shout out to Lauren, Mitch, Nate, Zep and Tam who all influenced this config.

This Proposal expects a strong community that can coordinate to pass both Tao Voting and Conviction Voting Proposals. The real things to note about this proposal is the ~1 million dollar Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, the 5 day voting period, $1 opening price and the lowish Reserve Ratio.

image

This proposal has a high entry tribute to attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 22% and 2% to 2% and 12% in 5 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. This is important for our long term growth so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community.

If we are smart, we should make an agreement to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a 40 Mil Market Cap so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve.

The CV Params are set so that it takes a week to pass any serious proposal with 15-20% of token holders sitting with their tokens behind the proposal. This will make the Token holders have to coordinate (without having to talk) to pass proposals.... I can imagine that we will want to post the Passing and Leading proposals that have a lot of voting power behind them every week to aid voters in coordinating around advancing token engineering.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

We have supreme confidence in our plan to create an amazing Commons and generate value. 6 months Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens. That being said, a year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unikely to sell their Tokens for a while since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

By setting the price at $1 we recognize that there are more TEC friends out there that could try to jump in ASAP.

This low opening price is fine because Hatcher's are true believers in the cause, in the collective well being of the Commons and spreading its ideology.

Token Freeze 26 Weeks
Token Thaw 52 Weeks

This is the release schedule for TEC that was given to Hatchers. Their TEC will start out frozen and then slowly become liquid according to the graph above.

3 years 100.00% 0.00 wxDAI
4 years 100.00% 0.00 wxDAI
5 years 100.00% 0.00 wxDAI

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

Even with a low Reserve (~315k) the reserve ratio is above 15%. This allows for the price to grow at a fast rate and give people that crypto feel... but isn't a DAO casino, not the slightest. The 250k initial buy only changes the price 50 cents. Giving the hatchers a 50% profit out the gate.

A 5k buy changes the price 1 penny.
A 20k Buy changes the price 4 cents and experience 1% slippage

This is just right!

The Commons Tribute and Entry Tribute are set so that there is about ~1 mil in the Common Pool after the initial buy.

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (22%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if this proposal is chosen we should plan to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 5 months.

If we lower it 4% a month... we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to speculate on the token. I think this is very doable.

The Reserve Ratio is low but it's not a DAO Casino and with a $1 opening price we can have a normal lockup time and room to grow.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Revolutions need to be agile as well. For this we should aim for high consensus, short-er duration.

Tao Voting might not interest everyone, but that's why we have delegates. It should be reasonable to expect high turnout for votes since voting power should either be used or delegated, not sitting idle, this is not how revolutions are made! That said, 10% is fair.

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within 5.5 days. If there's any contention 2 days are added to the vote so we have ample time for more participation.

A 12 hour minimum execution delay is given that there is a 3 day quiet ending period so people won't be surprised by an outcome... and anyone who REALLY cares would never be asleep after the outcome is certain but before it's execution.

Parameter Value
Support Required 85%
Minimum Quorum 10%
Vote Duration 5 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 3 day(s)
Quiet Ending Period 3 day(s)
Quiet Ending Extension 2 day(s)
Execution Delay 0.5 day(s)

Tao Voting Timeline From Proposal To Execution

This shows how the timeline stacks up for yes/no time based votes that can change the configuration after launch.

Timeline Data

Time to Vote on Proposals 5 days 7 days 9 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 2 days 4 days 6 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 5.5 days 7.5 days 9.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

Goldilocks' Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny CV Params

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 12% ensuring that we can fund 40k-70k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool (it would take 26.7% of the tokens 2 weeks to pass a 48k proposal). These are of course inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (1%) and high Conviction Growth (60 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

Most proposals asking for 1-4% of the Common Pool will take 8-15% of tokens holding conviction for 1-2 weeks to pass a proposal.

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 60 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 1.0%
Spending Limit 12.0%

Minimum Percent of Voting Tokens Needed to Pass Funding Requests

This shows how the minimum percent of tokens needed to pass proposals after 2 weeks varies with the percent of the Common Pool funds being requested.

Example Funding Request Data

Proposal Requested Amount (wxDAI) Common Pool (wxDAI) Effective supply (TEC) Tokens Needed To Pass (TEC)
1 1,000 100,000 1,500,000 17851

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 26 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 26 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 75.00%, which means that 75.00% of the Hatch funds (945917.68 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 25.00% (315305.89 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 22.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 22.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 2.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 2.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 85%, which means 85% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 5 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 5 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 3 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 3 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 60 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 60 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 10 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 1.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 1.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 12.0%, which means that no more than 12.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Harnessing the power of 7 and 13 to out-meme the 8

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

The universe is vast and unpredictable. Our Commons is taking the bold first steps into a new world brimming with opportunity, but also riddled with risk.

Luckily, we have been given a powerful compass to guide us through uncertainty.

Good and bad. Ying and yang. Luck and misfortune. The wisdom encoded within the numbers 7 and 13 captures the duality of destiny in a way the puny 8 never could. We have followed their lead while designing our commons, and they have made us witness to the pinnacle of paramater design.

Strategy:

This carefully chosen paramters set the best possible stage for the first steps of our DAO:
213 weeks where tokens are frozen to protect against bad luck, then 117 weeks thaw to guarantee smooth sailing. Also, since 2+11 is 13 cosmic balance is preserved throughout.
(For the non-believers, this would "just" amount to a 6 month freeze and a 1.5 year thaw)

TEST Entry into Orogeny

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

Taking Nate's Orogeny CV params and adding simple numbers and a little spice that give a good balance between funding the Economic arm and the Value Creation arm. The strategy is to have a design that will attract value aligned TEs, keeping the Reserve Ratio reasonable at 20% and having a high entry tribute to keep out speculators but attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes to tighten them up within 2 months of launch.

The Commons Tribute is set so that there is about ~680k in the Common Pool and with the initial buy ~720k. The Entry Tribute (15%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and I would say we make a plan to lower it and raise the Exit tribute after a few weeks as a strategy to open it up to Speculators.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

The Tao Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (88%), and a moderate quorum (8%) of participation.... this is the same as our HatchDAO The Vote Duration (7 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (4 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (12 hours) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes for those that really care about exiting after a vote is determined given the quiet ending extension.

Parameter Value
Support Required 88%
Minimum Quorum 8%
Vote Duration 7 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 4 day(s)
Quiet Ending Period 2 day(s)
Quiet Ending Extension 2 day(s)
Execution Delay 0.5 day(s)

Time to Vote on Proposals 7 days 9 days 11 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 3 days 5 days 7 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 7.5 days 9.5 days 11.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit (20%) on the higher side ensuring that we can fund big proposals if we need to. The rest of the settings were inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (1%) and high Conviction Growth (60 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 60 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 1.0%
Spending Limit 20.0%

Minimum Percent of Voting Tokens Needed to Pass Funding Requests

This shows how the minimum percent of tokens needed to pass proposals after 2 weeks varies with the percent of the Common Pool funds being requested.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 26 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 26 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.5 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.5 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 75.00%, which means that 75.00% of the Hatch funds (945917.68 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 25.00% (315305.89 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 20.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 20.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 1.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 1.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 60 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 60 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 1.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 1.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 20.0%, which means that no more than 20.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

TEST Entry into Orogeny

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

Taking Nate's Orogeny CV params and adding simple numbers and a little spice that give a good balance between funding the Economic arm and the Value Creation arm. The strategy is to have a design that will attract value aligned TEs, keeping the Reserve Ratio reasonable at 20% and having a high entry tribute to keep out speculators but attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes to tighten them up within 2 months of launch.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

Considering the decent profit (50% / 93%) 1.5 year vesting seems fine. 6 months to get the economy going, 1 year after that to slowly vest... if someone had 10,000 tokens from the Hatch they would get about ~25 tokens a day.

Strategy:

The Commons Tribute is set so that there is about ~680k in the Common Pool and with the initial buy ~720k. The Entry Tribute (15%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and I would say we make a plan to lower it and raise the Exit tribute after a few weeks as a strategy to open it up to Speculators.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 30 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 30 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 100 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 100 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.65 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.65 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 50.00%, which means that 50.00% of the Hatch funds (630611.79 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 50.00% (630611.79 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 3.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 3.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 15.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 15.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 5 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 5 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 5 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 5 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 0.5%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 0.5% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 20.0%, which means that no more than 20.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Goldilocks' $1 bet for $1 mil to Advance Token Engineering

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is a fork of $1 Gambit for $1,000,000 Goldilocks Fast Orogeny

The original proposal that was forked was merging of The Bolshevik's Gambit fork with Lower Min. Quorum #72's Token Thaw and Tao Voting (with a few tweaks) and Goldilocks' Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny #71 CV and ABC with a few tweaks

So shout out to Juanka, Angela, Lauren, Mitch, Nate, Zep and Tam who all influenced this config.

This Proposal expects a strong community that can coordinate to pass both Tao Voting and Conviction Voting Proposals. The real things to note about this proposal is the ability to get ~1 million dollars in the Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, the 5 day Tao Voting period, $1 opening price and the 20% Reserve Ratio.

image

This proposal has a high entry tribute to act as a minting tax early on, which might dissuade speculators and attract value-aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early, and are happy to fund the Advancement of Token Engineering.

With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 22% and 2% to 2% and 12% in 5 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. It is important for our long term growth to have a high exit tribute so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community. It also helps us practice our Governance Procedures early on so that we are ready and practiced to actively govern our Commons as a Community.

If we are smart, we will eventually want to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a decent sized market cap and good liquidity so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve. We might even consider using the funds in the bonding curve to advance token engineering if the Common Pool gets low, and our liquidity is high.

The CV Params are set so that it takes a week to pass any serious proposal with 15-20% of token holders sitting with their tokens behind the proposal, but with a higher Minimum Conviction and faster Conviction Growth and a smaller Spending Limit. This will make the Token holders have to coordinate (without having to talk) to pass proposals.... I can imagine that Transparency/Comms will want to post and Tweet the Passing and Leading proposals that have a lot of voting power behind them every week to aid voters in coordinating around advancing token engineering. :-D

This parameter set is full of round simple numbers and the outcome is “Just Right” as Goldilocks would expect.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

By setting the Opening price at $1 we recognize that there are more TEC friends out there that could try to jump in ASAP, but don’t alienate the Hatchers.

A 6 month of Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens.

A year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unlikely to sell their Tokens for a while longer after that 6 months since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

If a Hatcher had 10k TEC, they would get ~27.4 TEC liquid every day during that year.

This is "Just Right."

This is the release schedule for TEC that was given to Hatchers. Their TEC will start out frozen and then slowly become liquid according to the graph above.

4 years 100.00% 0.00 wxDAI
5 years 100.00% 0.00 wxDAI

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

Even with a low Reserve (~390k) the Reserve Ratio is at 20% thanks to the $1 Opening Price. This 20% Reserve Ratio allows for the price to grow at a fast rate and give people that crypto token volatility everyone wants... but isn't a DAO casino, not the slightest. The 250k initial buy only changes the price 38 cents. Giving the Hatchers a 38% profit out the gate.

A 5k buy changes the price 1 penny, negligible slippage
A 25k Buy changes the price 3 cents and experiences 1.1% slippage.

This is GREAT! And with the 22% entry tribute, we only need to sell 90k worth of tokens after the initial buy to get ~1 mil in the Common Pool!

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (22%) is extremely high.. but this is more of a tax on minting and the ABC is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if it does we are doing bad marketing on it. Our Comms TEAM rocks! We will sell the token at any Tribute, ICO’s have 100% Tribute

The UI doesn’t show the tributes except in a little question mark.. Check it out at https://convert.tecommons.org/ so if people want to buy tokens to support us and invest in Advancing Token Engineering to make the world a better place, they will just buy the tokens, we don’t have to promote the Tribute in Comms.

Also I assume it will take less than month to put up the Liquidity Pool… so the go to place will be Honeyswap very quickly after launch and the Tributes will really become a minting tax.

That being said, we should invert the Tributes before the Hatchers can sell tokens. If this proposal is chosen the intention is to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 5 months.

If we lower it 4% a month, we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to mint the token this month instead of waiting to buy next month when the proposal goes through. If we wanted less sharp changes, we can reduce the entry tribute 2% and raise the exit tribute 1% every 2 weeks.

The Reserve Ratio is at a healthy 20% which gives the token price room to grow, but doesn’t give the Hatchers too much Governance power (relative to the people that buy tokens later).

20% is “Just Right.”

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Tao Voting is used for on-chain smart contract decisions, so delegates will be huge and we should really emphasize that, so we can have a 10% quorum no problem, and there is one TECH holder with 9% of the tokens so 10% stops them from passing quorum by themselves.

Given the importance of Tao decisions, we should keep a high consensus requirement of 85%.

The big thing here is that quiet ending period overlaps the delegates voting period so if there is a contentious vote within the Delegates, an extra 2 days can be added so #TECoinstituents have time to change their delegates vote.

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within 5.5 days. If there's any contention 2 days are added to the vote so we have ample time for more participation.

A 12 hour minimum execution delay is given even though there is a 3 day quiet ending period so people won't really ever be surprised by an outcome... but still anyone who REALLY cares would never be asleep after the outcome is certain with a 12 hour delay.

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 11% ensuring that we CAN fund 40k-70k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool. … but really proposals asking for more than 4% of the Common Pool will be pretty hard to pass and should be broken up.

Assuming we have 800k in the funding pool…

29% of the voting tokens can pass a 24k proposal in 3 days.
27% of the voting tokens can pass a 48k proposal in 2 weeks.

And Conviction Growth basically tops off after a month so…

6% of the voting tokens can pass a $8k (1%) proposal after a month.
7% of the voting tokens can pass a $16k (2%) proposal after a month.
8% of the voting tokens can pass a $24k (3%) proposal after a month.
10% of the voting tokens can pass a $32k (4%) proposal after a month.
14% of the voting tokens can pass a $40k (5%) proposal after a month.
20% of the voting tokens can pass a $48k (6%) proposal after a month.
32% of the voting tokens can pass a $56k (7%) proposal after a month.
57% of the voting tokens can pass a $64k (8%) proposal after a month.
A proposal asking for $72k (9%) would not be able to pass.

But also if there is a big push to spend money fast, it is possible to pass proposals asking for 1% of the Common Pool in a day with about 50% of the voting power, and in 3 days we can spend up to 5% of the Common Pool with 50% of the voting power.

Fast is possible... but not too fast... Minority proposals with support can pass eventually, but it doesn't take too long

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 26 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 26 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 69.00%, which means that 69.00% of the Hatch funds (870244.26 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 31.00% (390979.31 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 22.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 22.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 2.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 2.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 85%, which means 85% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 5 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 5 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 3 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 3 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 7 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 7 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 10 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 4.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 4.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 11.0%, which means that no more than 11.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

UPDATE: We noticed our initial price was non-conforming to the way - this could not be! We changed it to 1.47 (147 = 7 * 21) and rose the commons tribute to 63% (79). This leaves the price after the initial buy at 2.08 wxDai (1316!). The rest stays the same...

ORIGINAL:

The universe is vast and unpredictable. Our Commons is taking the bold first steps into a new world brimming with opportunity, but also riddled with risk.

Luckily, we have been given a powerful compass to guide us through uncertainty.

Good and bad. Ying and yang. Luck and misfortune. The wisdom encoded within the numbers 7 and 13 captures the duality of destiny in a way the puny 8 never could. We have followed their lead while designing our commons, and they have made us witness to the pinnacle of paramater design.

Goldilocks' $1 bet for $1 mil to Advance Token Engineering

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is a fork of $1 Gambit for $1,000,000 Goldilocks Fast Orogeny

The original proposal that was forked was merging of The Bolshevik's Gambit fork with Lower Min. Quorum #72's Token Thaw and Tao Voting (with a few tweaks) and Goldilocks' Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny #71 CV and ABC with a few tweaks

So shout out to Juanka, Angela, Lauren, Mitch, Nate, Zep and Tam who all influenced this config.

This Proposal expects a strong community that can coordinate to pass both Tao Voting and Conviction Voting Proposals. The real things to note about this proposal is the ability to get ~1 million dollars in the Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, the 5 day Tao Voting period, $1 opening price and the 20% Reserve Ratio.

image

This proposal has a high entry tribute to act as a minting tax early on, which might dissuade speculators and attract value-aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early, and are happy to fund the Advancement of Token Engineering.

With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 22% and 2% to 2% and 12% in 5 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. It is important for our long term growth to have a high exit tribute so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community. It also helps us practice our Governance Procedures early on so that we are ready and practiced to actively govern our Commons as a Community.

If we are smart, we will eventually want to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a decent sized market cap and good liquidity so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve. We might even consider using the funds in the bonding curve to advance token engineering if the Common Pool gets low, and our liquidity is high.

The CV Params are set so that it takes a week to pass any serious proposal with 15-20% of token holders sitting with their tokens behind the proposal, but with a higher Minimum Conviction and faster Conviction Growth and a smaller Spending Limit. This will make the Token holders have to coordinate (without having to talk) to pass proposals.... I can imagine that Transparency/Comms will want to post and Tweet the Passing and Leading proposals that have a lot of voting power behind them every week to aid voters in coordinating around advancing token engineering. :-D

This parameter set is full of round simple numbers and the outcome is “Just Right” as Goldilocks would expect.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

By setting the Opening price at $1 we recognize that there are more TEC friends out there that could try to jump in ASAP, but don’t alienate the Hatchers.

A 6 month of Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens.

A year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unlikely to sell their Tokens for a while longer after that 6 months since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

If a Hatcher had 10k TEC, they would get ~27.4 TEC liquid every day during that year.

This is "Just Right."

4 years 100.00% 0.00 wxDAI
5 years 100.00% 0.00 wxDAI

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

Even with a low Reserve (~390k) the Reserve Ratio is at 20% thanks to the $1 Opening Price. This 20% Reserve Ratio allows for the price to grow at a fast rate and give people that crypto token volatility everyone wants... but isn't a DAO casino, not the slightest. The 250k initial buy only changes the price 38 cents. Giving the Hatchers a 38% profit out the gate.

A 5k buy changes the price 1 penny, negligible slippage
A 25k Buy changes the price 3 cents and experiences 1.1% slippage.

This is GREAT! And with the 22% entry tribute, we only need to sell 90k worth of tokens after the initial buy to get ~1 mil in the Common Pool!

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (22%) is extremely high.. but this is more of a tax on minting and the ABC is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if it does we are doing bad marketing on it. Our Comms TEAM rocks! We will sell the token at any Tribute, ICO’s have 100% Tribute

The UI doesn’t show the tributes except in a little question mark.. Check it out at https://convert.tecommons.org/ so if people want to buy tokens to support us and invest in Advancing Token Engineering to make the world a better place, they will just buy the tokens, we don’t have to promote the Tribute in Comms.

Also I assume it will take less than month to put up the Liquidity Pool… so the go to place will be Honeyswap very quickly after launch and the Tributes will really become a minting tax.

That being said, we should invert the Tributes before the Hatchers can sell tokens. If this proposal is chosen the intention is to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 5 months.

If we lower it 4% a month, we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to mint the token this month instead of waiting to buy next month when the proposal goes through. If we wanted less sharp changes, we can reduce the entry tribute 2% and raise the exit tribute 1% every 2 weeks.

The Reserve Ratio is at a healthy 20% which gives the token price room to grow, but doesn’t give the Hatchers too much Governance power (relative to the people that buy tokens later).

20% is “Just Right.”

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Tao Voting is used for on-chain smart contract decisions, so delegates will be huge and we should really emphasize that, so we can have a 10% quorum no problem, and there is one TECH holder with 9% of the tokens so 10% stops them from passing quorum by themselves.

Given the importance of Tao decisions, we should keep a high consensus requirement of 85%.

The big thing here is that quiet ending period overlaps the delegates voting period so if there is a contentious vote within the Delegates, an extra 2 days can be added so #TECoinstituents have time to change their delegates vote.

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within 5.5 days. If there's any contention 2 days are added to the vote so we have ample time for more participation.

A 12 hour minimum execution delay is given even though there is a 3 day quiet ending period so people won't really ever be surprised by an outcome... but still anyone who REALLY cares would never be asleep after the outcome is certain with a 12 hour delay.

Support Required 85%
Minimum Quorum 10%
Vote Duration 5 day(s)

Time to Vote on Proposals 5 days 7 days 9 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 2 days 4 days 6 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 5.5 days 7.5 days 9.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 11% ensuring that we CAN fund 40k-70k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool. … but really proposals asking for more than 4% of the Common Pool will be pretty hard to pass and should be broken up.

Assuming we have 800k in the funding pool…

29% of the voting tokens can pass a 24k proposal in 3 days.
27% of the voting tokens can pass a 48k proposal in 2 weeks.

And Conviction Growth basically tops off after a month so…

6% of the voting tokens can pass a $8k (1%) proposal after a month.
7% of the voting tokens can pass a $16k (2%) proposal after a month.
8% of the voting tokens can pass a $24k (3%) proposal after a month.
10% of the voting tokens can pass a $32k (4%) proposal after a month.
14% of the voting tokens can pass a $40k (5%) proposal after a month.
20% of the voting tokens can pass a $48k (6%) proposal after a month.
32% of the voting tokens can pass a $56k (7%) proposal after a month.
57% of the voting tokens can pass a $64k (8%) proposal after a month.
A proposal asking for $72k (9%) would not be able to pass.

But also if there is a big push to spend money fast, it is possible to pass proposals asking for 1% of the Common Pool in a day with about 50% of the voting power, and in 3 days we can spend up to 5% of the Common Pool with 50% of the voting power.

Fast is possible... but not too fast... Minority proposals with support can pass eventually, but it doesn't take too long

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 7 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 4.0%
Spending Limit 11.0%

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 26 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 26 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 69.00%, which means that 69.00% of the Hatch funds (870244.26 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 31.00% (390979.31 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 22.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 22.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 2.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 2.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 85%, which means 85% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 5 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 5 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 3 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 3 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 7 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 7 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 10 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 4.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 4.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 11.0%, which means that no more than 11.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

The Bolshevik's Gambit fork with Revolutionary Opening Price

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is not a proposal for the weak willed.

We are charting out into new territories of ideology, coalescing into forms of governance and economics. We have rallied a strong community around our cause with our Trusted Seed. We should be confident in our cultural build to guide us to where we need to go without imposing technical red tape on our primary revolutionaries.

We have to recognize that the TEC at launch will not be same force as it will be in 6 months. We can expect to expand and mature with time and our post-launch settings will adjust to reflect our evolution. I have outlined envisioned changes in this proposal.

A low opening price reduces the sell pressure once we go post token freeze, likely adhering hatcher's to our mission rather than salivating like wild beasts over the token price. However newcomers will want to take part and the buy pressure with such a low opening price will be considerable. with an ample entry tribute we can hope to secure a further amount of funding, while slightly dissuading sells.

Tao Voting and Conviction Voting is reasonably agile, which is what any radical movement needs. We can hope to adjust our settings as our Commons cools off post-revolution.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

Revolutions happen quickly. We have supreme confidence in our plan to create an amazing Commons and generate value. 3 months Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens. That being said, a year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unikely to sell their Tokens for a while since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

Taking this into consideration as well we have to "Trust" our trusted seed. These Hatchers are not likely to sell en masse anyway unless we really mess up.

Token Freeze 12 Weeks
Token Thaw 52 Weeks

5 years 100.00% 0.00 wxDAI

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

We're coming to realize we'll need a good chunk of money to kick-start our vision and to adequately reward contributors and fund WGs and projects. This leaves us well over 800k to ignite the revolution.

A low opening price is fine because Hatcher's are true believers in the cause, in the collective well being of the Commons and spreading its ideology. Even with a low initial balance the reserve ratio is at a healthy amount, this means that as our supply grows we can count of having lower amounts of price slippage

Strong tributes in the beginning will test the resolve of our new revolutionistas and penalize the feeble-willed who abandon our cause early. By having higher tributes we can hope to capture additional funding from the hype train generated by the Commons Upgrade.

Once our revolution is successful and our provisional government is established we can put our Tao Voting parameters to the test by lowering the tributes to healthier economic levels (3, 3). I envision this happening within 3-6 months.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Revolutions need to be agile as well. For this we should aim for high consensus, short-er duration.

Tao Voting might not interest everyone, but that's why we have delegates. It should be reasonable to expect high turnout for votes since voting power should either be used or delegated, not sitting idle, this is not how revolutions are made!

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within one week. If there's any contention we add ample time for more participation.

A greater execution delay however allows our economy's participants to react to any potential changes to its configuration before being implemented.

Support Required 88%
Minimum Quorum 8%

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With these settings we can use the considerable muscle contained in our Common Pool to kick-start projects and disburse funding without too much hassle. Once we have set projects well on their way and our new Commons' economy has stabilized we can reduce the Spending Limit to a conservative 12-13%

1 Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny corrected Descriptions!

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is an exaggerated version of the Entry into Orogeny proposal (shout out to Nate!) and is somewhat inspired by Zep's DAO Casino and Tam's push for a high Common Pool.

The real things to note about this proposal is the >1 million dollar Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, and the low Reserve Ratio.

This proposal has a high entry tribute to attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 26% and 0% to 2% and 12% in 6 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. This is important for our long term growth so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community.

If we are smart, we should make an agreement to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a 40 Mil Market Cap so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

Considering the decent profit off the bat (40% / 111%) and the low reserve ratio which 2.75 years for the tokens to unlock seems fine. 9 months to get the economy going, 2 year after that to slowly vest... if someone had 10,000 tokens from the Hatch they would get about ~14 tokens a day.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The Commons Tribute and Entry Tribute are set so that there is about ~1 mil in the Common Pool after the initial buy.

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (26%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if this proposal is chosen we should plan to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 6 months.

This proposal has a low Reserve Ratio so that we can have high profitability for it to make sense to speculate despite the high entry tribute.

If we lower it 4% a month... we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to speculate on the token. I think this is very doable.

The Reserve Ratio is low but it's not a DAO Casino and with a long lockup we have a long time to grow beyond the Hatch.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

The Tao Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (80%), and a moderate quorum (10%) of participation.... this is almost the same as our HatchDAO but higher quorum because we have delegation and lower support required because we are now an open community, not just the Trusted Seed.

The Vote Duration (7 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (4 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (12 hours) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes for those that really care about exiting after a vote is determined given the quiet ending extension.

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 15% ensuring that we can fund 50k-80k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool. The rest of the settings were inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (.6%) and high Conviction Growth (100 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

I think these parameters could be explored more.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 40 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 40 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 104 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 104 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.4 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.4 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 75.00%, which means that 75.00% of the Hatch funds (945917.68 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 25.00% (315305.89 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 26.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 26.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 80%, which means 80% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 100 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 100 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 0.6%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 0.6% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 15.0%, which means that no more than 15.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

The Bolshevik's Gambit fork with Lower Min. Quorum

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is not a proposal for the weak willed.

We are charting out into new territories of ideology, coalescing into forms of governance and economics. We have rallied a strong community around our cause with our Trusted Seed. We should be confident in our cultural build to guide us to where we need to go without imposing technical red tape on our primary revolutionaries.

We have to recognize that the TEC at launch will not be same force as it will be in 6 months. We can expect to expand and mature with time and our post-launch settings will adjust to reflect our evolution. I have outlined envisioned changes in this proposal.

A low opening price reduces the sell pressure once we go post token freeze, likely adhering hatcher's to our mission rather than salivating like wild beasts over the token price. However newcomers will want to take part and the buy pressure with such a low opening price will be considerable. with an ample entry tribute we can hope to secure a further amount of funding, while slightly dissuading sells.

Tao Voting and Conviction Voting is reasonably agile, which is what any radical movement needs. We can hope to adjust our settings as our Commons cools off post-revolution.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

Revolutions happen quickly. We have supreme confidence in our plan to create an amazing Commons and generate value. 3 months Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens. That being said, a year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unikely to sell their Tokens for a while since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

Taking this into consideration as well we have to "Trust" our trusted seed. These Hatchers are not likely to sell en masse anyway unless we really mess up.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

We're coming to realize we'll need a good chunk of money to kick-start our vision and to adequately reward contributors and fund WGs and projects. This leaves us well over 800k to ignite the revolution.

A low opening price is fine because Hatcher's are true believers in the cause, in the collective well being of the Commons and spreading its ideology. Even with a low initial balance the reserve ratio is at a healthy amount, this means that as our supply grows we can count of having lower amounts of price slippage

Strong tributes in the beginning will test the resolve of our new revolutionistas and penalize the feeble-willed who abandon our cause early. By having higher tributes we can hope to capture additional funding from the hype train generated by the Commons Upgrade.

Once our revolution is successful and our provisional government is established we can put our Tao Voting parameters to the test by lowering the tributes to healthier economic levels (3, 3). I envision this happening within 3-6 months.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Revolutions need to be agile as well. For this we should aim for high consensus, short-er duration.

Tao Voting might not interest everyone, but that's why we have delegates. It should be reasonable to expect high turnout for votes since voting power should either be used or delegated, not sitting idle, this is not how revolutions are made!

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within one week. If there's any contention we add ample time for more participation.

A greater execution delay however allows our economy's participants to react to any potential changes to its configuration before being implemented.

Strategy:

With these settings we can use the considerable muscle contained in our Common Pool to kick-start projects and disburse funding without too much hassle. Once we have set projects well on their way and our new Commons' economy has stabilized we can reduce the Spending Limit to a conservative 12-13%

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 12 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 12 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.07 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.07 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 67.70%, which means that 67.70% of the Hatch funds (853848.36 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 32.30% (407375.21 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 7.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 7.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 10.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 10.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 5 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 5 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 3 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 3 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 3 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 3 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 2 day(s), meaning that there is an 2 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 8 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 8 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 10 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 8.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 8.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 18.0%, which means that no more than 18.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

1 Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny with Better CV

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is an exaggerated version of the Entry into Orogeny proposal (shout out to Nate!) and is somewhat inspired by Zep's DAO Casino and Tam's push for a high Common Pool.

The real things to note about this proposal is the >1 million dollar Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, and the low Reserve Ratio.

image

This proposal has a high entry tribute to attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 26% and 0% to 2% and 12% in 6 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. This is important for our long term growth so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community.

If we are smart, we should make an agreement to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a 40 Mil Market Cap so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve.

Strategy:

Considering the decent profit off the bat (40% / 111%) and the low reserve ratio which 2.75 years for the tokens to unlock seems fine. 9 months to get the economy going, 2 years after that to slowly vest... if someone had 10,000 tokens from the Hatch they would get about ~14 tokens a day.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The Commons Tribute and Entry Tribute are set so that there is about ~1 mil in the Common Pool after the initial buy.

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (26%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if this proposal is chosen we should plan to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 6 months.

This proposal has a low Reserve Ratio so that we can have high profitability for it to make sense to speculate despite the high entry tribute.

If we lower it 4% a month... we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to speculate on the token. I think this is very doable.

The Reserve Ratio is low but it's not a DAO Casino and with a long lockup we have a long time to grow beyond the Hatch.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

The Tao Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (80%), and a moderate quorum (10%) of participation.... this is almost the same as our HatchDAO but higher quorum because we have delegation and lower support required because we are now an open community, not just the Trusted Seed.

The Vote Duration (7 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (4 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (12 hours) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes for those that really care about exiting after a vote is determined given the quiet ending extension.

Parameter Value
Support Required 80%
Minimum Quorum 10%
Vote Duration 7 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 4 day(s)
Quiet Ending Period 2 day(s)
Quiet Ending Extension 2 day(s)
Execution Delay 0.5 day(s)

Tao Voting Timeline From Proposal To Execution

This shows how the timeline stacks up for yes/no time based votes that can change the configuration after launch.

Timeline Data

# of Quiet Ending Extensions No Extensions With 1 Extension With 2 Extensions
Time to Vote on Proposals 7 days 9 days 11 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 3 days 5 days 7 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 7.5 days 9.5 days 11.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 15% ensuring that we can fund 50k-80k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool. The rest of the settings were inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (.6%) and high Conviction Growth (100 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

I think these parameters could be explored more.

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 70 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 0.9000000000000001%
Spending Limit 15.0%

Minimum Percent of Voting Tokens Needed to Pass Funding Requests

This shows how the minimum percent of tokens needed to pass proposals after 2 weeks varies with the percent of the Common Pool funds being requested.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 40 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 40 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 104 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 104 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.4 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.4 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 75.00%, which means that 75.00% of the Hatch funds (945917.68 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 25.00% (315305.89 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 26.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 26.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 80%, which means 80% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 70 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 70 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 0.9000000000000001%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 0.9000000000000001% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 15.0%, which means that no more than 15.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

I don't about you, but I'm feeling 32

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

I wanted to try something a little different. Make the opening price as high as I see reasonably possible, and preserve a reserve ratio of about 22%. Higher cumulative entry & exit tributes to fill up the Common Pool with more funds from speculation. Low token freeze so that Hatchers can take advantage of some profit & still fill up our Commons Pool. Also, this is a great meme and a great song to play during params presentations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgFeZr5ptV8

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

32% Commons Tribute - yes, relatively low, but we're compensating with high cumulative entry & exit tribute.

Here's the plan: start out with entry high and exit low... so speculators taking advantage of the price floor are filling the common pool. ALSO with the initial buy, we boost the common pool with an extra 80k right off the bat.

THEN, nearing the end of the token freeze, we vote to swap the entry and exit tributes... so have the exit tribute 32% and the entry at 3.2%... so Hatchers can benefit from profitting off the higher token price and low volatility but are a prohibitted slightly from quitting a large amount... and feel good about paying the little extra to the support the TEC Common pool.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 32 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 32 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 32 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 32 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.32 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.32 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 32.00%, which means that 32.00% of the Hatch funds (403591.54 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 68.00% (857632.03 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 32.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 32.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 3.20% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 3.20% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 32 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 32 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 1.32%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 1.32% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 18.32%, which means that no more than 18.32% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 13 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 13 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 108 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 108 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 0.42 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 0.42 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 90.00%, which means that 90.00% of the Hatch funds (1135101.21 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 10.00% (126122.36 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 12.50% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 12.50% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 9.75% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 9.75% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 85%, which means 85% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 6 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 6 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 1 day(s), this means that 1 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 3 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 3 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 3 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 3 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 1.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 1.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 3.0%, which means that no more than 3.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

1 Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is an exaggerated version of the Entry into Orogeny proposal (shout out to Nate!) and is somewhat inspired by Zep's DAO Casino and Tam's push for a high Common Pool.

The real things to note about this proposal is the >1 million dollar Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, and the low Reserve Ratio.

This proposal has a high entry tribute to attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 26% and 0% to 2% and 12% in 6 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. This is important for our long term growth so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community.

If we are smart, we should make an agreement to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a 40 Mil Market Cap so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve.

Strategy:

Considering the decent profit off the bat (40% / 111%) and the low reserve ratio which 2.75 years for the tokens to unlock seems fine. 9 months to get the economy going, 1 year after that to slowly vest... if someone had 10,000 tokens from the Hatch they would get about ~14 tokens a day.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The Commons Tribute and Entry Tribute are set so that there is about ~1 mil in the Common Pool after the initial buy.

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (26%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if this proposal is chosen we should plan to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the entry tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 6 months.

This proposal has a low Reserve Ratio so that we can have high profitability for it to make sense to speculate despite the high entry tribute.

If we lower it 4% a month... we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to speculate on the token. I think this is very doable.

The Reserve Ratio is low but it's not a DAO Casino and with a long lockup we have a long time to grow beyond the Hatch.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

The Tao Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (80%), and a moderate quorum (10%) of participation.... this is almost the same as our HatchDAO but higher quorum because we have delegation and lower support required because we are now an open community, not just the Trusted Seed.

The Vote Duration (7 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (4 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (12 hours) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes for those that really care about exiting after a vote is determined given the quiet ending extension.

Parameter Value
Support Required 80%

Time to Review a Delegates Vote 3 days 5 days 7 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 7.5 days 9.5 days 11.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 15% ensuring that we can fund 50k-80k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool. The rest of the settings were inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (.6%) and high Conviction Growth (100 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

I think these parameters could be explored more.

Conviction Growth 100 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 0.6%

  • Entry Tribute: 26.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 26.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 80%, which means 80% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.

  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 100 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 100 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 0.6%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 0.6% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 15.0%, which means that no more than 15.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

The Bolshevik's Gambit

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is not a proposal for the weak willed.

We are charting out into new territories of ideology, coalescing into forms of governance and economics. We have rallied a strong community around our cause with our Trusted Seed. We should be confident in our cultural build to guide us to where we need to go without imposing technical red tape on our primary revolutionaries.

We have to recognize that the TEC at launch will not be same force as it will be in 6 months. We can expect to expand and mature with time and our post-launch settings will adjust to reflect our evolution. I have outlined envisioned changes in this proposal.

A low opening price reduces the sell pressure once we go post token freeze, likely adhering hatcher's to our mission rather than salivating like wild beasts over the token price. However newcomers will want to take part and the buy pressure with such a low opening price will be considerable. with an ample entry tribute we can hope to secure a further amount of funding, while slightly dissuading sells.

Tao Voting and Conviction Voting is reasonably agile, which is what any radical movement needs. We can hope to adjust our settings as our Commons cools off post-revolution.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

Revolutions happen quickly. We have supreme confidence in our plan to create an amazing Commons and generate value. 3 months Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens. That being said, a year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unikely to sell their Tokens for a while since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

Taking this into consideration as well we have to "Trust" our trusted seed. These Hatchers are not likely to sell en masse anyway unless we really mess up.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

We're coming to realize we'll need a good chunk of money to kick-start our vision and to adequately reward contributors and fund WGs and projects. This leaves us well over 800k to ignite the revolution.

A low opening price is fine because Hatcher's are true believers in the cause, in the collective well being of the Commons and spreading its ideology. Even with a low initial balance the reserve ratio is at a healthy amount, this means that as our supply grows we can count of having lower amounts of price slippage

Strong tributes in the beginning will test the resolve of our new revolutionistas and penalize the feeble-willed who abandon our cause early. By having higher tributes we can hope to capture additional funding from the hype train generated by the Commons Upgrade.

Once our revolution is successful and our provisional government is established we can put our Tao Voting parameters to the test by lowering the tributes to healthier economic levels (3, 3). I envision this happening within 3-6 months.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Revolutions need to be agile as well. For this we should aim for high consensus, short-er duration.

Tao Voting might not interest everyone, but that's why we have delegates. It should be reasonable to expect high turnout for votes since voting power should either be used or delegated, not sitting idle, this is not how revolutions are made!

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within one week. If there's any contention we add ample time for more participation.

A greater execution delay however allows our economy's participants to react to any potential changes to its configuration before being implemented.

Parameter Value
Support Required 88%
Minimum Quorum 16%
Vote Duration 5 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 3 day(s)
Quiet Ending Period 2 day(s)

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With these settings we can use the considerable muscle contained in our Common Pool to kick-start projects and disburse funding without too much hassle. Once we have set projects well on their way and our new Commons' economy has stabilized we can reduce the Spending Limit to a conservative 12-13%

Parameter Value

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 12 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 12 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.07 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.07 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 67.70%, which means that 67.70% of the Hatch funds (853848.36 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 32.30% (407375.21 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 7.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 7.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 10.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 10.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 16%, meaning that 16% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 5 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 5 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 3 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 3 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 3 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 3 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 2 day(s), meaning that there is an 2 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 8 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 8 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 10 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 8.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 8.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 18.0%, which means that no more than 18.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Mathmematics V3 with 1 MEMILLION COMMON POOL

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

UPDATE FOR V3: Further numerological research revealed that adjusting the initial price to 0.70 and rising the commons tribute to 7 * 12 (therefore adequately courting the number 13 ) allows us to keep this proposal as perfect as it already is and still launch with a common pool of 1 million, to start the TEC off with proper strength.

ORIGINAL:

The universe is vast and unpredictable. Our Commons is taking the bold first steps into a new world brimming with opportunity, but also riddled with risk.

Luckily, we have been given a powerful compass to guide us through uncertainty.

Good and bad. Ying and yang. Luck and misfortune. The wisdom encoded within the numbers 7 and 13 captures the duality of destiny in a way the puny 8 never could. We have followed their lead while designing our commons, and they have made us witness to the pinnacle of paramater design.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

This carefully chosen parameters set the best possible stage for the first steps of our DAO:
213 weeks where tokens are frozen to protect against bad luck, then 117 weeks thaw to guarantee smooth sailing. Also, since 2+11 is 13 cosmic balance is preserved throughout.
(For the non-believers, this would "just" amount to a 6 month freeze and a 1.5 year thaw)

Goldilocks' $1 bet for $1 mil to Advance Token Engineering

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is a fork of $1 Gambit for $1,000,000 Goldilocks Fast Orogeny

The original proposal that was forked was merging of The Bolshevik's Gambit fork with Lower Min. Quorum #72's Token Thaw and Tao Voting (with a few tweaks) and Goldilocks' Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny #71 CV and ABC with a few tweaks

So shout out to Juanka, Angela, Lauren, Mitch, Nate, Zep and Tam who all influenced this config.

This Proposal expects a strong community that can coordinate to pass both Tao Voting and Conviction Voting Proposals. The real things to note about this proposal is the ability to get ~1 million dollars in the Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, the 5 day Tao Voting period, $1 opening price and the 20% Reserve Ratio.

image

This proposal has a high entry tribute to act as a minting tax early on, which might dissuade speculators and attract value-aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early, and are happy to fund the Advancement of Token Engineering.

With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 22% and 2% to 2% and 12% in 5 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. It is important for our long term growth to have a high exit tribute so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community. It also helps us practice our Governance Procedures early on so that we are ready and practiced to actively govern our Commons as a Community.

If we are smart, we will eventually want to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a decent sized market cap and good liquidity so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve. We might even consider using the funds in the bonding curve to advance token engineering if the Common Pool gets low, and our liquidity is high.

The CV Params are set so that it takes a week to pass any serious proposal with 15-20% of token holders sitting with their tokens behind the proposal, but with a higher Minimum Conviction and faster Conviction Growth and a smaller Spending Limit. This will make the Token holders have to coordinate (without having to talk) to pass proposals.... I can imagine that Transparency/Comms will want to post and Tweet the Passing and Leading proposals that have a lot of voting power behind them every week to aid voters in coordinating around advancing token engineering. :-D

This parameter set is full of round simple numbers and the outcome is “Just Right” as Goldilocks would expect.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

By setting the Opening price at $1 we recognize that there are more TEC friends out there that could try to jump in ASAP, but don’t alienate the Hatchers.

A 6 month of Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens.

A year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unlikely to sell their Tokens for a while longer after that 6 months since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

If a Hatcher had 10k TEC, they would get ~27.4 TEC liquid every day during that year.

This is "Just Right."

Token Freeze 26 Weeks
Token Thaw 52 Weeks

Hatcher's TEC Release Schedule

This is the release schedule for TEC that was given to Hatchers. Their TEC will start out frozen and then slowly become liquid according to the graph above.

5 years 100.00% 0.00 wxDAI

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

Even with a low Reserve (~390k) the Reserve Ratio is at 20% thanks to the $1 Opening Price. This 20% Reserve Ratio allows for the price to grow at a fast rate and give people that crypto token volatility everyone wants... but isn't a DAO casino, not the slightest. The 250k initial buy only changes the price 38 cents. Giving the Hatchers a 38% profit out the gate.

A 5k buy changes the price 1 penny, negligible slippage
A 25k Buy changes the price 3 cents and experiences 1.1% slippage.

This is GREAT! And with the 22% entry tribute, we only need to sell 90k worth of tokens after the initial buy to get ~1 mil in the Common Pool!

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (22%) is extremely high.. but this is more of a tax on minting and the ABC is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if it does we are doing bad marketing on it. Our Comms TEAM rocks! We will sell the token at any Tribute, ICO’s have 100% Tribute

The UI doesn’t show the tributes except in a little question mark.. Check it out at https://convert.tecommons.org/ so if people want to buy tokens to support us and invest in Advancing Token Engineering to make the world a better place, they will just buy the tokens, we don’t have to promote the Tribute in Comms.

Also I assume it will take less than month to put up the Liquidity Pool… so the go to place will be Honeyswap very quickly after launch and the Tributes will really become a minting tax.

That being said, we should invert the Tributes before the Hatchers can sell tokens. If this proposal is chosen the intention is to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 5 months.

If we lower it 4% a month, we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to mint the token this month instead of waiting to buy next month when the proposal goes through. If we wanted less sharp changes, we can reduce the entry tribute 2% and raise the exit tribute 1% every 2 weeks.

The Reserve Ratio is at a healthy 20% which gives the token price room to grow, but doesn’t give the Hatchers too much Governance power (relative to the people that buy tokens later).

20% is “Just Right.”

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Tao Voting is used for on-chain smart contract decisions, so delegates will be huge and we should really emphasize that, so we can have a 10% quorum no problem, and there is one TECH holder with 9% of the tokens so 10% stops them from passing quorum by themselves.

Given the importance of Tao decisions, we should keep a high consensus requirement of 85%.

The big thing here is that quiet ending period overlaps the delegates voting period so if there is a contentious vote within the Delegates, an extra 2 days can be added so #TECoinstituents have time to change their delegates vote.

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within 5.5 days. If there's any contention 2 days are added to the vote so we have ample time for more participation.

A 12 hour minimum execution delay is given even though there is a 3 day quiet ending period so people won't really ever be surprised by an outcome... but still anyone who REALLY cares would never be asleep after the outcome is certain with a 12 hour delay.

Time to Vote on Proposals 5 days 7 days 9 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 2 days 4 days 6 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 5.5 days 7.5 days 9.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 11% ensuring that we CAN fund 40k-70k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool. … but really proposals asking for more than 4% of the Common Pool will be pretty hard to pass and should be broken up.

Assuming we have 800k in the funding pool…

29% of the voting tokens can pass a 24k proposal in 3 days.
27% of the voting tokens can pass a 48k proposal in 2 weeks.

And Conviction Growth basically tops off after a month so…

6% of the voting tokens can pass a $8k (1%) proposal after a month.
7% of the voting tokens can pass a $16k (2%) proposal after a month.
8% of the voting tokens can pass a $24k (3%) proposal after a month.
10% of the voting tokens can pass a $32k (4%) proposal after a month.
14% of the voting tokens can pass a $40k (5%) proposal after a month.
20% of the voting tokens can pass a $48k (6%) proposal after a month.
32% of the voting tokens can pass a $56k (7%) proposal after a month.
57% of the voting tokens can pass a $64k (8%) proposal after a month.
A proposal asking for $72k (9%) would not be able to pass.

But also if there is a big push to spend money fast, it is possible to pass proposals asking for 1% of the Common Pool in a day with about 50% of the voting power, and in 3 days we can spend up to 5% of the Common Pool with 50% of the voting power.

Fast is possible... but not too fast... Minority proposals with support can pass eventually, but it doesn't take too long

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 26 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 26 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 69.00%, which means that 69.00% of the Hatch funds (870244.26 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 31.00% (390979.31 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 22.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 22.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 2.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 2.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 85%, which means 85% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 5 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 5 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 3 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 3 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 7 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 7 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 10 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 4.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 4.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 11.0%, which means that no more than 11.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The 80% initial tribute makes us unabashedly an impact investment. Impact investors care about impact and don't want to pay to fund reserves to lower the volatility. Another effect of the low reserve is high slippage, which makes it expensive and thus unattractive for non-aligned, purely speculative whales to suddenly buy up large shares in ways that might harm the mission and the community. Impact investors will care less about slippage, since that money goes to the TEC, which they are backing for impact. Oh, did I mention it's a million dollar fund. Nice.

Yeah, 30% entry tribute is a big cut. But remember, we're an impact investment. We pitch that the 30% is an investment that they make in public goods and we take it off the top while they're still excited. There's no exit tribute. We get the investment up front, not when they're trying to get out and may have reasons for leaving anyway.

Plus we don't want contributors to have to pay a "tax" when they cash on their contributions of effort.

This proposal assumes that the entry tribute does not impact contributors (for at least as long are our initial buy-in rewards funding lasts).

A large tribute does create risk of arbitrage, so this proposal envisions restricting trading in secondary liquidity markets -- just for the first year, while we "fledge."

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

My quick analysis of TEC Snapshot votes is that we've averaged 29% participation (by tokens, not people). We should be able to achieve higher than that, and should push for high community participation, on votes affecting our essential economic design.

These votes are on the longish side but given the types of votes we're making under TAO voting, I think we need more time for community evaluation and discussion.

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

The 4% limit is designed to encourage milestones, and breaking projects up into smaller phases with deliverables that can be assessed by the community as they go -- especially in this first year. Assuming a million dollar pool, $40K should be the max and we want to encourage in one step.

At a conviction level of 3, funding proposals can be approved with 10X the amount requested sitting in conviction for one month. That sounds about the right flow and spend rate.

The bulk of the conviction matures within one month, which is perhaps a slower pace than we may have first imagined. But from the lens of Fledging, it is good to be deliberate as we learn to fly. We don't want to run out of funds too quickly. Conviction voting gets a lot harder when the pool shrinks!

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 52 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 52 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.5 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.5 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 80.00%, which means that 80.00% of the Hatch funds (1008978.86 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 20.00% (252244.71 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 30.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 30.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 40%, meaning that 40% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 10 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 10 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 5 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 5 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 14 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 14 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 20 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 3.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 3.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 4.0%, which means that no more than 4.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

Opening Price is at the lower end ($1.50) allowing for initial token buyers to get in at a perceived bargain even after the initial buy-in. The Token Freeze (18 weeks) provides a 4+ month buffer to allow enough economic activity to occur on the ABC while minimizing the amount of time for value-aligned members to begin putting their tokens to use. The Token Thaw period (1.5 year) allows for a responsible amount of time to effectively distribute potential sell pressure placed on the ABC.

Token Freeze 26 Weeks
Token Thaw 78 Weeks

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The Commons Tribute (42%) will allow for a substantial amount of funds to be available for distribution granting the TEC Token more opportunity for external utility. The Entry Tribute (12%) and Exit Tribute (8%) is designed to prevent speculation on the curve early on and allow for value-aligned individuals to enter into the TEC economy, while contributing more funding toward the Commons Pool. This proposal comes with the assumption that these parameters will be altered after the Commons Upgrade when the Entry & Exit Tributes will be altered to reflect the dynamics of secondary markets and arbitrage opportunities.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Tao is not supposed to be shouted in all caps and while Lao Tsu would agree that patience is a virtue, 10 days is just longer than necessary... so i modified this proposal to have a shorter time frame... I like 88% for support required but compromised with the original param set with 83% Support Required.

The Tao Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (83%), and a moderate quorum (8%) of participation. The Vote Duration (7 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (4 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (12 hours) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes for those that really care about exiting after a vote is determined given the quiet ending extension.

Parameter Value
Support Required 83%
Minimum Quorum 8%
Vote Duration 7 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 4 day(s)
Quiet Ending Period 2 day(s)

Time to Review a Delegates Vote 3 days 5 days 7 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 7.5 days 9.5 days 11.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit (11%) on the lower side ensuring that we fund proposals incrementally if possible, and not risk a large amount of funds on any single project. The Minimum Conviction (0.8%) reduces the minimum effective supply which reflects the spending limit strategy -- allowing for an abundance of funding proposals all with the chance of passing with smaller amounts of tokens staked. The Conviction Growth (42 days) ensures that proposals aren't passed too quickly and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

Conviction Growth 42 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 0.8%

900k Entry into Orogeny with Better CV

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

FORK!

This is an exaggerated version of the Entry into Orogeny proposal (shout out to Nate!) and is somewhat inspired by Zep's DAO Casino and Tam's push for a high Common Pool.

The real things to note about this proposal is the >1 million dollar Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, and the low Reserve Ratio.

image

This proposal has a high entry tribute to attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 26% and 0% to 2% and 12% in 6 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. This is important for our long term growth so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community.

If we are smart, we should make an agreement to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a 40 Mil Market Cap so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve.

Strategy:

FORKED!!! 900k Common Pool

The Commons Tribute and Entry Tribute are set so that there is about ~1 mil in the Common Pool after the initial buy.

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (26%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if this proposal is chosen we should plan to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 6 months.

This proposal has a low Reserve Ratio so that we can have high profitability for it to make sense to speculate despite the high entry tribute.

If we lower it 4% a month... we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to speculate on the token. I think this is very doable.

The Reserve Ratio is low but it's not a DAO Casino and with a long lockup we have a long time to grow beyond the Hatch.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

The Tao Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (80%), and a moderate quorum (10%) of participation.... this is almost the same as our HatchDAO but higher quorum because we have delegation and lower support required because we are now an open community, not just the Trusted Seed.

The Vote Duration (7 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (4 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (12 hours) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes for those that really care about exiting after a vote is determined given the quiet ending extension.

Parameter Value
Support Required 80%
Minimum Quorum 10%
Vote Duration 7 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 4 day(s)
Quiet Ending Period 2 day(s)
Quiet Ending Extension 2 day(s)
Execution Delay 0.5 day(s)

Tao Voting Timeline From Proposal To Execution

This shows how the timeline stacks up for yes/no time based votes that can change the configuration after launch.

Timeline Data

# of Quiet Ending Extensions No Extensions With 1 Extension With 2 Extensions
Time to Vote on Proposals 7 days 9 days 11 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 3 days 5 days 7 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 7.5 days 9.5 days 11.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 15% ensuring that we can fund 50k-80k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool. The rest of the settings were inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (.6%) and high Conviction Growth (100 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

I think these parameters could be explored more.

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 70 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 0.9000000000000001%
Spending Limit 15.0%

Minimum Percent of Voting Tokens Needed to Pass Funding Requests

This shows how the minimum percent of tokens needed to pass proposals after 2 weeks varies with the percent of the Common Pool funds being requested.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 40 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 40 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 104 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 104 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.4 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.4 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 65.00%, which means that 65.00% of the Hatch funds (819795.32 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 35.00% (441428.25 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 26.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 26.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 80%, which means 80% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 70 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 70 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 0.9000000000000001%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 0.9000000000000001% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 15.0%, which means that no more than 15.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

The Bolshevik's Gambit fork with Revolutionary Opening Price and Iron Curtain Conviction Voting

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is not a proposal for the weak willed.

We are charting out into new territories of ideology, coalescing into forms of governance and economics. We have rallied a strong community around our cause with our Trusted Seed. We should be confident in our cultural build to guide us to where we need to go without imposing technical red tape on our primary revolutionaries.

We have to recognize that the TEC at launch will not be same force as it will be in 6 months. We can expect to expand and mature with time and our post-launch settings will adjust to reflect our evolution. I have outlined envisioned changes in this proposal.

A low opening price reduces the sell pressure once we go post token freeze, likely adhering hatcher's to our mission rather than salivating like wild beasts over the token price. However newcomers will want to take part and the buy pressure with such a low opening price will be considerable. with an ample entry tribute we can hope to secure a further amount of funding, while slightly dissuading sells.

Tao Voting and Conviction Voting is reasonably agile, which is what any radical movement needs. We can hope to adjust our settings as our Commons cools off post-revolution.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

Revolutions happen quickly. We have supreme confidence in our plan to create an amazing Commons and generate value. 3 months Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens. That being said, a year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unikely to sell their Tokens for a while since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

Taking this into consideration as well we have to "Trust" our trusted seed. These Hatchers are not likely to sell en masse anyway unless we really mess up.

Token Freeze 12 Weeks
Token Thaw 52 Weeks

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

We're coming to realize we'll need a good chunk of money to kick-start our vision and to adequately reward contributors and fund WGs and projects. This leaves us well over 800k to ignite the revolution.

A low opening price is fine because Hatcher's are true believers in the cause, in the collective well being of the Commons and spreading its ideology. Even with a low initial balance the reserve ratio is at a healthy amount, this means that as our supply grows we can count of having lower amounts of price slippage

Strong tributes in the beginning will test the resolve of our new revolutionistas and penalize the feeble-willed who abandon our cause early. By having higher tributes we can hope to capture additional funding from the hype train generated by the Commons Upgrade.

Once our revolution is successful and our provisional government is established we can put our Tao Voting parameters to the test by lowering the tributes to healthier economic levels (3, 3). I envision this happening within 3-6 months.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Revolutions need to be agile as well. For this we should aim for high consensus, short-er duration.

Tao Voting might not interest everyone, but that's why we have delegates. It should be reasonable to expect high turnout for votes since voting power should either be used or delegated, not sitting idle, this is not how revolutions are made!

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within one week. If there's any contention we add ample time for more participation.

A greater execution delay however allows our economy's participants to react to any potential changes to its configuration before being implemented.

Support Required 88%
Minimum Quorum 8%

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

With these settings we'll need to optimize voter engagement, even humble requests in the range of 15-35k will need an exceptional amount of tokens staked if we assume to have good engagement from hatchers. this build also protect us adqeuately from small proposals passing under the radar

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 7 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 7 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 12 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 4.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 4.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 18.0%, which means that no more than 18.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 32 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 32 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 26 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 26 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.05 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.05 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 50.00%, which means that 50.00% of the Hatch funds (630611.79 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 50.00% (630611.79 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 0.75% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 0.75% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.75% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.75% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 75%, which means 75% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 15%, meaning that 15% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 0.5 day(s), this means that 0.5 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 15 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 15 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 2.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 2.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 13.0%, which means that no more than 13.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

A $1.50 opening price gives a nice discount to Hatchers and contributors, while assuming early post-upgrade TEC purchasers are mission-driven thus less price-sensitive.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

The 80% initial tribute makes us unabashedly an impact investment. Impact investors care about impact and don't want to pay to fund reserves to lower the volatility. Another effect of the low reserve is high slippage, which makes it expensive and thus unattractive for non-aligned, purely speculative whales to suddenly buy up large shares in ways that might harm the mission and the community. Impact investors will care less about slippage, since that money goes to the TEC, which they are backing for impact. Oh, did I mention it's a million dollar fund. Nice.

Yeah, 30% entry tribute is a big cut. But remember, we're an impact investment. We pitch that the 30% is an investment that they make in public goods and we take it off the top while they're still excited. There's no exit tribute. We get the investment up front, not when they're trying to get out and may have reasons for leaving anyway.

Plus we don't want contributors to have to pay a "tax" when they cash on their contributions of effort.

This proposal assumes that the entry tribute does not impact contributors (for at least as long are our initial buy-in rewards funding lasts).

A large tribute does create risk of arbitrage, so this proposal envisions restricting trading in secondary liquidity markets -- just for the first year, while we "fledge."

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

My quick analysis of TEC Snapshot votes is that we've averaged 29% participation (by tokens, not people). We should be able to achieve higher than that, and should push for high community participation, on votes affecting our essential economic design.

These votes are on the longish side but given the types of votes we're making under TAO voting, I think we need more time for community evaluation and discussion.

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

The 4% limit is designed to encourage milestones, and breaking projects up into smaller phases with deliverables that can be assessed by the community as they go -- especially in this first year. Assuming a million dollar pool, $40K should be the max and we want to encourage in one step.

At a conviction level of 3, funding proposals can be approved with 10X the amount requested sitting in conviction for one month. That sounds about the right flow and spend rate.

The bulk of the conviction matures within one month, which is perhaps a slower pace than we may have first imagined. But from the lens of Fledging, it is good to be deliberate as we learn to fly. We don't want to run out of funds too quickly. Conviction voting gets a lot harder when the pool shrinks!

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 52 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 52 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.5 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.5 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 80.00%, which means that 80.00% of the Hatch funds (1008978.86 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 20.00% (252244.71 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 30.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 30.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 0.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 0.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 40%, meaning that 40% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 10 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 10 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 5 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 5 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 14 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 14 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 20 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 3.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 3.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 4.0%, which means that no more than 4.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 2 day(s), meaning that there is an 2 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 90 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 90 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 12 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 0.8%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 0.8% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 18.0%, which means that no more than 18.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

$1 Gambit for $1,000,000 Goldilocks Faster Orogeny

image

What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?

This is a fork of $1 Gambit for $1,000,000 Goldilocks Orogeny with faster CV

The original proposal that was forked was merging of The Bolshevik's Gambit fork with Lower Min. Quorum #72's Token Thaw and Tao Voting (with a few tweaks) and Goldilocks' Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny #71 CV and ABC with a few tweaks

So shout out to Juanka, Angela, Lauren, Mitch, Nate, Zep and Tam who all influenced this config.

This Proposal expects a strong community that can coordinate to pass both Tao Voting and Conviction Voting Proposals. The real things to note about this proposal is the ~1 million dollar Common Pool, the Strategy around the Entry and Exit Tributes, the 5 day voting period, $1 opening price and the lowish Reserve Ratio.

image

This proposal has a high entry tribute to attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch and are smart enough to see that the low reserve ratio will still allow them to make a profit if they get in early. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes every month so that they gradually go from 22% and 2% to 2% and 12% in 5 months. This could be done every month by decreasing the Entry Tribute by 4% and increasing the Exit Tribute by 2%. This is important for our long term growth so that if the price is going down, more money is flowing into the Common Pool so that as a community we can provide more value to our token holders and the TE community.

If we are smart, we should make an agreement to set the Entry Tribute to 100% when we reach a 40 Mil Market Cap so that the bonding curve can act as a parachute if the Price crashes but we stop printing TEC once we are large enough and don't need the liquidity protection of the bonding curve.

The CV Params are set so that it takes a week to pass any serious proposal with 15-20% of token holders sitting with their tokens behind the proposal, but with a higher Minimum Conviction and faster Conviction Growth and a smaller Spending Limit. This will make the Token holders have to coordinate (without having to talk) to pass proposals.... I can imagine that we will want to post the Passing and Leading proposals that have a lot of voting power behind them every week to aid voters in coordinating around advancing token engineering.

Module 1: Token Freeze and Token Thaw

Strategy:

We have supreme confidence in our plan to create an amazing Commons and generate value. 6 months Freeze is a reasonable amount of time in crypto to hold tokens. That being said, a year of Thaw means that TEC holder's will be very unikely to sell their Tokens for a while since so little will be available. If they intend to sell they will wait and speculate a bit longer.

By setting the price at $1 we recognize that there are more TEC friends out there that could try to jump in ASAP.

This low opening price is fine because Hatcher's are true believers in the cause, in the collective well being of the Commons and spreading its ideology.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

Strategy:

Even with a low Reserve (~315k) the reserve ratio is above 15%. This allows for the price to grow at a fast rate and give people that crypto feel... but isn't a DAO casino, not the slightest. The 250k initial buy only changes the price 50 cents. Giving the hatchers a 50% profit out the gate.

A 5k buy changes the price 1 penny.
A 20k Buy changes the price 4 cents and experience 1% slippage

This is just right!

The Commons Tribute and Entry Tribute are set so that there is about ~1 mil in the Common Pool after the initial buy.

image

This gives us a nice runway to get a jumpstart on Advancing Token Engineering!

The Entry Tribute (22%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and if this proposal is chosen we should plan to reduce the entry tribute 4% and raise the exit tribute 2% every month until the tributes end up as 2% entry and 12% exit after 5 months.

If we lower it 4% a month... we only have to sell ~40k worth of tokens every month for it to make sense to speculate on the token. I think this is very doable.

The Reserve Ratio is low but it's not a DAO Casino and with a $1 opening price we can have a normal lockup time and room to grow.

Module 3: Tao Voting

Strategy:

Revolutions need to be agile as well. For this we should aim for high consensus, short-er duration.

Tao Voting might not interest everyone, but that's why we have delegates. It should be reasonable to expect high turnout for votes since voting power should either be used or delegated, not sitting idle, this is not how revolutions are made! That said, 10% is fair.

A quick-er vote duration means we could wrap up and execute votes within 5.5 days. If there's any contention 2 days are added to the vote so we have ample time for more participation.

A 12 hour minimum execution delay is given that there is a 3 day quiet ending period so people won't be surprised by an outcome... and anyone who REALLY cares would never be asleep after the outcome is certain but before it's execution.

Parameter Value
Support Required 85%
Minimum Quorum 10%
Vote Duration 5 day(s)
Delegated Voting Period 3 day(s)
Quiet Ending Period 3 day(s)
Quiet Ending Extension 2 day(s)
Execution Delay 0.5 day(s)

Tao Voting Timeline From Proposal To Execution

This shows how the timeline stacks up for yes/no time based votes that can change the configuration after launch.

Timeline Data

Time to Vote on Proposals 5 days 7 days 9 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 2 days 4 days 6 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 5.5 days 7.5 days 9.5 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

Goldilocks' Million Dollar Entry into Orogeny CV Params

With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit at 11% ensuring that we can fund 40k-70k proposals if we need to given our large Common Pool (it would take 26.7% of the tokens 2 weeks to pass a 48k proposal). These are of course inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (1%) and high Conviction Growth (60 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

Most proposals asking for 1-4% of the Common Pool will take 8-15% of tokens holding conviction for 1-2 weeks to pass a proposal.

But also if there is a big push to spend money fast, it is possible to pass proposals in a day and it doesn't get much easier to pass proposals after a month.

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 7 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 4.0%
Spending Limit 11.0%

Minimum Percent of Voting Tokens Needed to Pass Funding Requests

This shows how the minimum percent of tokens needed to pass proposals after 2 weeks varies with the percent of the Common Pool funds being requested.

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 26 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 26 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 75.00%, which means that 75.00% of the Hatch funds (945917.68 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 25.00% (315305.89 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 22.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 22.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 2.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 2.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 85%, which means 85% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 10%, meaning that 10% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 5 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 5 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 3 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 3 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 3 day(s), this means that 3 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 7 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 7 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 10 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 4.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 4.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 11.0%, which means that no more than 11.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.

Tao Voting Timeline From Proposal To Execution

This shows how the timeline stacks up for yes/no time based votes that can change the configuration after launch.

Timeline Data

# of Quiet Ending Extensions No Extensions With 1 Extension With 2 Extensions
Time to Vote on Proposals 15 days 18 days 21 days
Time to Review a Delegates Vote 5 days 8 days 11 days
Time to Execute a Passing Proposal 16 days 19 days 22 days

Module 4: Conviction Voting

Strategy:

I consider that having a spending limit of 35% is appropiated for a single proposal, with a minimum conviction of 5% that will make possible for proposals to be passed faster at the begining and with a conviction growth of 15 days set would prevent last minute vote swings.

Parameter Value
Conviction Growth 15 day(s)
Minimum Conviction 5.0%
Spending Limit 35.0%

Minimum Percent of Voting Tokens Needed to Pass Funding Requests

This shows how the minimum percent of tokens needed to pass proposals after 2 weeks varies with the percent of the Common Pool funds being requested.

Example Funding Request Data

Proposal Requested Amount (wxDAI) Common Pool (wxDAI) Effective supply (TEC) Tokens Needed To Pass (TEC)
1 1,000 100,000 1,500,000 79476
2 5,000 100,000 1,500,000 102083
3 25,000 100,000 1,500,000 Not possible
4 1,000 750,000 1,500,000 75574
5 5,000 750,000 1,500,000 77940
6 25,000 750,000 1,500,000 91620

Parameter Definitions

Token Freeze and Token Thaw

  • Token Freeze: 24 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 24 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
  • Token Thaw: 48 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 48 weeks later.
  • Opening Price: 1.7 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.7 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)

  • Commons Tribute: 60.00%, which means that 60.00% of the Hatch funds (756734.14 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 40.00% (504489.43 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
  • Entry Tribute: 5.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 5.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
  • Exit Tribute: 7.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 7.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.

Tao Voting

  • Support Required: 80%, which means 80% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
  • Minimum Quorum: 20%, meaning that 20% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
  • Vote Duration: 15 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 15 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
  • Delegated Voting Period is set for 10 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 10 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
  • Quiet Ending Period: 5 day(s), this means that 5 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
  • Quiet Ending Extension: 3 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 3 day(s) will be added for voting.
  • Execution Delay: 1 day(s), meaning that there is an 1 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.

Conviction Voting

  • Conviction Growth: 15 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 15 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 30 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
  • Minimum Conviction: 5.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 5.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
  • The Spending Limit: 35.0%, which means that no more than 35.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.
