Giveth Core Team Compensation - July 2023

Proposal Information

Proposal description:

For July 2023, contributors were paid in stable coins by Griff (xDAI on Gnosis, USDC, DAI 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.

Funding Information

For July 2023, Giveth earned $28,185.24 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:

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

*Client didn’t pay GM yet for the projects they worked on, but revenue that Giveth should have earned is NOT YET included in the figures above.
** Pending time report. Revenue earned not yet included in the figures above. This will be added next period.

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 July 2023 figures:

Description Amount
Giveth contributors only cost $78,487.17
GM contributors working in Giveth $24,474.59
Total Giveth Compensation cost $102,961.76
Less: Revenue (Giveth contributors working in GM) -$28,185.24
Total amount requested: $74,776.52

GM needs to pay Giveth $3,710.65

Gas Fees Reimbursement

Since April 2023, we have been tracking how much is lost when swapping and bridging tokens to and from different networks for compensation processing. Gas fees were tracked as well. We are requesting reimbursement for this in USD value at the time of each transaction. Batch swapping and bridging is done for GM and Giveth, so the amount requested below is in proportion to the number of contributors paid for each month.

Amount requested: $133.80

Funding Request Summary

As agreed here, we will be reimbursing Griff 50% in stables and 50% in GIV tokens.

  • Amount of stable tokens requested: $37,522.06 worth of DAI on Mainnet
    (50% stable portion $37,388.26 plus $133.80 gas fees)
    Ethereum address where stable coins shall be transferred: 0x09eF81A00b0DFe589AB88b2b21B58b407F3a5188
