Giveth Core Team Compensation - May 2023

Giveth Core Team Compensation - May 2023

Proposal Information

Proposal description:

For May 2023, contributors were paid in stable coins by Griff (xDAI on Gnosis, BOB, 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.
