Giveth Core Team Compensation - August 2023

Proposal Information

Proposal description:

For August 2023, contributors were paid in stable coins by Griff (DAI, USDC and USDT on Polygon). This is a proposal requesting reimbursement.

Proposal Rationale:

Griff is a GIV maxi, and to facilitate the payments of stable tokens to our contributors while we still build a better treasury management system, he pays people in xDai and asks for reimbursement here. Hopefully this process will cause upward pressure on the GIV price as our contributors use xDAI to buy GIV, instead of the opposite, where our contributors get paid in GIV and then sell the GIV to pay bills.

Also, while we sort out a streamlined process for payments, we believe this is the efficient way of paying people on time and without delay. Should there be better alternatives, your suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

We have unpaid contributors for this month. We will pay them in the next month since hours are too minimal, preferred by the contributor or pending time report confirmation: Dani

Funding Information

For August 2023, Giveth earned $25,287.08 from the technical partnership with General Magic (GM). Non-developer contributors who are working with GM projects have the same invoicing arrangement.

:pray:t4: Praise to these Giveth Unicorns who brought in revenue to Giveth through providing their services to GM:

  • Moenick
  • Amin
  • Cotabe
  • Suga
  • Kay
  • Mo
  • Franco
  • Ramin
  • Alireza
  • Cherik
  • Mohammad Ranjbar
  • Mateo

On a separate note, the compensation of GM contributors who works for Giveth goes to the GM wallet (this is indicated in each of their Giveth work agreements). Instead of Giveth receiving the revenue earned, this will be deducted from the amount that Giveth pays to GM contributors. If there’s any excess, GM will need to pay Giveth any amount due.

To summarize August 2023 figures:

Description Amount
Giveth contributors only cost $81,803.33
GM contributors working in Giveth $29,975.61
Total Giveth Compensation cost $111,778.94
Less: Revenue (Giveth contributors working in GM) -$25,287.08
Total amount requested: $86,491.86
