Giveth has been receiving PAN tokens from GitCoin Rounds and distributing it to contributors based on SourceCred tracking since 2020 – it has served us well!
And, with the launch of the GIVeconomy, hiring of many full-time, paid Givethers, and the diminishing returns of PAN… it doesn’t make sense to continue as we enter 2022.
The proposal here is: to discontinue paying out in PAN beginning with the month of January, and move to paying out in an equivalent value of GIV tokens.
Recognizing the value of contributors is a hot topic in many of our associated project teams like Commons Stack and the Token Engineering Commons too, where new systems are being developed and larger teams working on solutions.
We can leverage the learnings in our partner projects to implement a Contributor Reward system that is consistent. Suggesting creation of a cross-organizational working group to develop a tracking and calculation tool that better meets our overall goals, like “Creating a Network of Partners”:
I started creating this document a while back… things were changing every week at that time and so it was difficult to keep it relevant… but once we have a clear system, I would be willing to finalize this contributor’s guide. Feel free to leave comments…
