Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named. Start by reviewing the Distribution Method and Future Questions sections, then clarify the allocation basis, Merkle distribution automation, and vesting periods; the work is done only once those mechanics and an implementation scope are defined.

Description

layers

In the future OSS tokens may achieve utility outside Dev Protocol like Governance or utility. An excellent way to reward Patrons for supporting projects, when OSS tokens receive exterior use cases, would be to give a fixed percent for Patrons. If treasury holds 5% then 2.5% would be given to Patrons that supported that project.

Distribution Method
Tokens would be distributed based on the same logic as the Geyser liquidity program: the amount of capital and the time staked relative to other Patrons in the pool. The more money and time a Patron provides to a project the more of the allocation they receive.

Benefits

  1. Patrons join to fund projects they believe in
  2. Patrons are incentivized to fund projects that will make use of OSS tokens which creates organic incentive model
  3. Projects not creating use cases or developing are less staked due to the opportunity cost
  4. This DIP injects immense positive feedback loops without changing the core protocol

Future Questions

  1. How to automate the Merkle distribution without using snapshots each time
  2. Vesting periods
