Program Strategy

Rounds are hard to run and how to get people to run rounds
  • Progressive decentralization to have others run a round
  • Comp for a round operator is proportional to a round
 
  • how do we decide the rounds?
    • Steward council gets to choose rounds and select them
  • What broader goals does this program strategy help us achieve?
  • Is there a max amount you need to be below ($250K) to apply?
  • Do we have a set round we always support?
  • How do we get to quarterly sustainable funds?
  • How do we fund round operators? / Incentive for round operators?
  • Do we have a sustainable round? What would success look like for a sustainable round?
 
Gitcoin core program rounds and then Gitcoin featured rounds
  • Can’t enforce anyone to run a round and take whatever percentage they take
  • We need a way to charge a fee that is reasonable and then give them a percentage
  • Gitcoin endorsed will provide categories
 
Round selection process feels like they ask different causes to compete with each other and people are pissed off
 
Biggest issue:
  • How do we create less fighting for our support vs people wanting to participate
  • SDGs might be a good reference point of core areas we are willing to support
 
Criteria based vs round specific based
 
Notion to be nominated to run a round and max support and regardless we have to support cause rounds regardless in onboarding
