Thanks for pushing the ball forward @Doo_StableLab. I am generally supportive of experimentation here, but I have a couple thoughts:
-
How will we know if this was a success? I’m wary of rewarding participation for participation’s sake. Ultimately if the protocol is spending UNI out of the treasury, it should be in service of generating good outcomes for the protocol itself.
-
If we’re looking at this like an experiment, I think it’d make sense to partner it with some research that was being discussed at GovSwap on Tuesday. Will let @noturhandle and Gab from @she256 go into more detail, but they have a plan to map delegate responsibilities and competencies that I think would bring a bit more rigor to future delegate comp discussions.
With the Arbitrum airdrop last summer, we had a bunch of teams suggest liquidity mining in some form or another. We successfully combined those teams into a unified proposal and have seen a fairly successful program on the back of it. I think this might be another opportunity to gather a couple of related ideas (this proposal, @Bobbay’s gas rebate, and the research) into one vote so that they can run simultaneously. While we’d have to spend a bit more time crafting this up front, their combined results could better inform the next time we revisit this as we iterate toward a sustainable and scalable solution.
